You make it seem so simple (because of your skills, knowledge and experience)&nbsp; but when I look at the coin it is so very hard to tell what I am seeing like - what is the TOP because sometimes it looks like there is a line through the TOP of the letters (so that situation is more the mechanical issues?).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have had this 1980 coin and have looked at it so many times trying to determine if it is a DDO - and with the age of the coin etc - well I just don&#039;t know what I see if anything.
