That looks nice, be sure to check it for the DDR that shows on the right side of the wreath. Page 43 of the old CPG.

Ed, there is no DDO. It has the small die break noted at K-8, form the rim to the olive leaf, and another smaller, (shorter), one just to the north, which fades in thr "rim-field" area. I don't think the "1" is an RPD. This looks very much like the snow-1b REV, with the S-4 OBV 6. Nothing else checks. I don't think the "3" has any changes, and the top of the "1" looks okay. There is garbage above the outside "foot' of the "1", but mnot on theright side. With the extra little die break, and the mixed dies, it could , concievely be a new variety. I will send it to Rick, for an "Eye-ball", and comment.
Tomorrow, it, and all the rest of the two rolls will get a nice hot bath. then we will see, ( what we, couldn't see before)!

Hey Dick,
I just saw this...yeah, there's a lot of breaks on the reverse; the dies were weaker from the wreath to the rim, and a few die pairs are identified by breaks.

Hi Kurt, nice to see you around! How is the "mining? Find any "varieties"?

Yes...I've found a half-dozen "color change" sapphires, which means they're one color in daylight and another in artificial light. All told...I have 400 carats so far! 
That, my business, my girlfriend, and planning a move keeps me darn busy! I do try to drop by and say hi!

Kurt, all I got to say in that respect, is "You got your work cut out for you"! Keep "lurking"!
