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.
WOW! Tough to find on the reverse.
Are we sure?
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.
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.
