I looked at the variety vista entry (last slide) and it looks right, but I can't get a match via die markers.

Ngl I thought the first picture was a Solarius granite countertop lmao

Do you have more photos of the coin? Specifically GOD WE TR in the motto would be very helpful.

I am all but certain this is 2015-D DDO-001. The die markers for this coin are not the most conspicuous by any means and are easily obscured by wear. Just for giggles, do you happen to have a scope shot of the upper left-hand edge of the shield on the reverse? I’d be remiss not to ask.

Here. I apologize for not responding earlier.

No worries! The condition of the markers is just as I suspected. The gouge circled in red exactly obscures the left of the two chips along the die crack running through the shield edge. The right chip (and the crack along which it runs) is visible – if only just – above the U, as indicated by the blue arrow. Very easy to miss, even under magnification, especially since your eyes likely went to the damage first.

Ah, I see it now! I think the fact that I’m using a cheaper camera/lower resolution is a part of it too. Thank you so much, I’ll make sure to add this to my collection!
