Hi Robert,
 
You have a DD with an unground edge.  EDAR says: We are uncertain if these were samples, factory rejects, or tone test records.
 
I believe they were factory rejects as the one I have had a white grease pencil that circled a 'defect'.  I am very careful with my diamond and the defect was so small I would not have noticed unless it had been circled.
 
The lady that had a group of them was in the NJ area so it is my theory that they were factory rejects that workers took home or purchased at a discount.  They are not seen very often, I got mine on eBay from a non collector.  Amazing how much was ground away.  Mine has the title in a marker and no labels.  They are hard to come by, I have only seen them on eBay once.
 
Steve
