    Purchased as good but environmentally challenged this key date 1955 DDO was posted in a forum I am a member with before and after some rather masterful restoration efforts.

    An astute friend noticed a small detail and identified it as a counterfeit!

    I love these type of research opportunities- diagnostics from a Michael Fahey digital Coin World article as shown.

    And a past ANA/ ANACS counterfeit article talked about a similar diagnostic, but the image is pretty poor.

    This is a true counterfeit. Yours looks good to me.

    Take that back. Grainy fields.
