    SUMORADA,

    There are several similarities in the ICA in AMERICA, but my opinion is that it is not. The S in CENTS and the last O in MONTICELLO should be thicker. This is definitely a DDR, but not TDR. You may have to send it into Mr. Wiles?

    Pulled (2) of these from sealed proof sets......

    Can't seem to get it in the pics but the upper inside parts of the "E,R and C appear to be tripled....not a very good strike so it's a tuff call IMO.

    Looks like a DDR, if it is a TDR it is not the major one listed in the Cherrypickers' Guide. I have close-up photos of that from a coin in my personal collection that I will try to find later tonight and post to this thread.

    So, it would appear that SUMORADA's example is not the father.
