<p>[QUOTE="jay4202472000, post: 2793182, member: 42573"]No I do not see that it is "clearly obvious DDR". The left vertical bar of the U is fat. The right one is not. The appearance of a split serif at the top left of left bar looks like a hit or shadow to me. If there was that strong of a split serif there, there would be one on the right bar, along with evidence (separation) along the vertical bar. There is no evidence on the B or S or M or dot. There would be some sense of uniformity to the doubling. The left bar of the U either got smushed a little or was not fully struck up. EPU is opposite Lincoln's coat, which is the deepest part of the obverse die. There sometimes isn't enough pressure to get the metal to fully fill the recesses of the die in this area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at this image and see what I am talking about.
