This one may be a little bit harder than the one Bob put on. Everything that is needed to be known is in the picture.

WHAT IS IT?????

BJ, The first thing I spotted was the notch on the "1"! I also see a possible RPM, as well. so I'll commit myself to:
1933D-1DO/1MM-XXX. Hub doubling, (Don't know the class), RPM tilted CW, and it looks like it may have been cleaned. BYW, good evening, BJ!
Is it possible to have:1. a hub double, 2. a Machine double, 2. a D/D/D, cw/ccw/cw, all on the same side of the same coin? I see two notches on the NW corner , top of the MM, a split serif on the bottom, and lateral displacement in the vertical bar. Also the bottom of the "1" show, or seems to show a notch on the lower right side of the base. It may have also "taken a hit" in that general area. THe "93" show a lateral shift, possibly CCW.

Probably another failing grade but here goes.

There appears to me to be a shift in the first three and the MM. Which I would assume Confused

is MD and what looks like a minor split lower serif.

Now just kill me so I won't know how wrong I was and that it is a unique 1933D on a gold planchet with an 1857 reverse. Wink

I never get these tests.

I can only say it doesn't look like any known variety and I agree with Steven, minor split that does not match the known RPMs so if I found it I'd probably fill a 1933-D hole in a folder with it.

Hope it's not something special LOL!!! Wink

You are getting better in your young age Dick.

Even though there is a notch on the 1 of the date, it is not a DDO.

There was a slight hit to the mint mark and also there was some machine doubling on the upper serif of the mint mark, but it did not conceal the TWO notches on the "D" of Bob Piazza's find.

Compare the site's 1933D-1MM-003 to this one and you will see that they are the same.

BJ, I thought about "peeking" to see if It might be there, but I have always taken an examination, "cold turkey", just to see what I know, rather than what I can still recall from the "cramming". I have never studied for an exam.
