Fun fact...Jim Carrey was the first actor intended for the role of Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but he turned it down for his role in "Bruce Almighty". We now return to your scheduled programming.
Stunning as well. PCGS is always good about capturing the colors, but your shots are excellent at showing the luster. All three pictures together do justice to the coin!
Got this one off of eBay and am very pleased pleased! It looks to be DDR-002b (2-R-I-CCW) I guess I should give the date? 1969-D The separation is fantastic!
The seller had it listed as a DDR coin which showed some serif splits. It was started at $9.95 and I was the only bidder.

Pick these up for $10 for the pair. What's going on with the inner rim? The Obverse Rim looks like it's falling apart or losing it's connection at 10pm, 7pm under the letter G in GOD. Also on the reverse in same areas of 10pm and 7pm. Maybe someone used acid or the coin was a flaw during minting. thanks for your opinions. G Oh, look at the bell on the obverse the crack lines are wrong on one of them. Seems way off.
