Since Die Varieties can be traced back to individual dies or die pairs, we can use that knowledge to attribute certain die varieties. We can compare one coin to another in order to look for the details that we suspect as creating the variety to be exactly the same on each coin.


Let me first say that the Cherrypickers' Guide has a notation under this one that suggests a theory of a "well placed die chip". It is my personal opinion as well as that of many specialists that these are indeed doubled dies.


Note that the extra earlobes to the south of the primary ear lobe, taking into account some slight variance in lighting, are identical on each of these three coins. When looking for the doubled ear 1997 DDO, the ears must look identical to these or it is simply not the right one.
