I think the only thing that could make it cooler would be if it was the DDO.

one of the things i love about cuds like this is the unevenness of the breaking that really shows how progressive the chipping/breaking of the die can be incrementally/gradually. i'm trying to recall if i've owned 1-2 of these. had so many amazing ones. in terms of size, the best i think i've had is a 50% broken obv jefferson but there are struck-through broken die pieces, with letter transfer that are VERY scarce by comparison.
It could be the picture... but that is a strange looking 'cud'.... Especially on the obverse..... Of course, in hand, you surely could determine better than a picture. Certainly is a prize. Cheers, RickO
Might ask @FredWeinberg if he would offer an opinion. Looks concave on the obverse and unusual on the reverse. Below is the famous "Atheist" cud for comparison.

Are we sure?

The 1984 - It's genuine, known, and quite large-
Nice addition to anyone's collection.

Thanks guys. I took those pictures on an iPhone 7. Obviously, not the best quality, but the best I can do at this time.
Thank you Fred for confirming it's the real deal.
this probably isn't the only reference site.

images are a little blurry but also looks like a decent MAD.

WOW! Pretty serious Cud - there have to be more out there - a progression set of pictures would be awesome......

It's a well known CUD. I agree, a progression set would be amazing.
