Comments: This
die is very similar to many others in this year. No markers could be matched to other similar
dies including WDDO-020 which matches the Stage C die for CONECA: 7-O-VI. Incidentally, the die chip on the lower T in
CENT seen on Stage A listing for 7-O-VI likely matches this die, though an in-hand
examination of an earlier die stage would be required for definitive
determination. Also, of note for this
year, some listings may end up being discovered as duplicates in the future as
additional stages of this or others dies are discovered.
