Nothing similar on varietyvista site. Minor one but still a cool find….IMO.

    Incredibly intense photography that I can absolutely appreciate and am jealous that I do not have the ability to duplicate. But me thinks that you are looking too closely at your coins. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it.............
    I don't believe any coin related site has looked this closely at their varieties to know if their's match or vary from yours. The minting process isn't meant to view that close, what your are looking at is imperfections in the process which are completely normal for the process and will occur and consequently be ignored imo

    In addition to VarietyVista, you can also check the listings on doubleddie.com:

    The WDDR-002 looks similar, but would need to see more of your coin for confirmation.

    Nothing similar ........? Their wearing bell bottoms. Sry, I have tretts.

    Cool.

    It is a DD but I don't know if it is new.

    Definitely a minor DDR. The split corners on the star show nice clear doubling. Try matching it to something on doubleddie.com—that’s Wexler’s site, and it lists many, many more varieties than Variety Vista does.

    Oops I see @IkesT beat me to suggesting doubleddie.com.

    Thanks for the site info!
