• Discovered by James Wilkins Cross References: None known Comments: WDDO-002 has a similar die crack on the upper left of the shield to WDDO-001. While the die cracks are similar, close comparison should show them to be different working dies. The die crack for WDDO-001 runs WNW/ESE above the L in PLURIBUS and then turns and runs WSW/ENE above the UR in PLURIBUS. The die crack for WDDO-002 runs WSW/ENE above the PLU in PLURIBUS.
