This is a couple of images from what I believe is a VERY subtle 1877 DDO Trade Dollar (not the typical one) .......comments? Feel free to disagree.
Three images.....

1) Extra elements in the denticles
2) Distinct but subtle stat tips
3) Extra features in cotton bale ropes.....

The second two pictures are maybe questionable, but hard to argue with the star in the first pic.

It does look like it... the star and the ropes... and the internal marks on the B and E of Liberty... the leaves by the bale as well. Not a major DD, but it seems to be there. Cheers, RickO

I have seen those doubled denticals before. Would that speak to it being a doubled working hub/master die opposed to a doubled die?

Crypto: With you on that......the denticle artifacts seem to be possibly more common......the hub/master is a good theory.

The denticle artifacts could actually be something like Longacre doubling. Extra stuff in the hub around the denticles that wasn't polished away when the working die was finished.

What about the doubling all along the lower edges of the LIBERTY banner? Some of the letters in LIBERTY also look like they have a little doubling...
