"A coin is only worth what a collector will pay"
I don't recall what professional made that statement, but thank you John. I see the heritage auction listings for even 2010 cents that sell for $500+ at auction, so being one cent to one guy who searches rolls could be worth a good bit more to somebody with the money that has different tastes. Or maybe I'll waste $30 and have a $30.01 1995 D in my collection lol

I don't think the coin would be worth sending in to PCGS. For it have high value like the 2010 cents you are talking about it would have to be a MS69-70. Still has nice toning and looks like a MS62-64, I would put it in a 2x2 not a slab.

unfortunatly - if you spend $30 to have this one gradded and slabbed - you won't have a coin worth $30.01. you will still have a coin worth $.01/ I dont think any clollector will pay the grading fee fou your coin.

Right....I just meant I'd be spending the money to send it out, then worst case realizing I wasted the $....I'm pretty aware of that specific scenario being a gamble. Thanks for clarifying though.

So anyways... The markers indicating a doubled die in this case are nothing to put into consideration? There's a odd shape imprinted between the 1st and 2nd pillar on the reverse too. Is that any indication of error? Never saw it on the other 100 or so '95D's I've found.

If the coin does not have the variety, the markers mean nothing. The dies go through a lot of the same events, thus markers can match even though not meaning nothing. Variety first. Markers to help ID the coin after you see the hub doubling/RPM varieties. It is just as John1 said. Die Deterioration wear on the devices facing the rim. Date on the right side. LIBERTY on the left side and on the tops of the motto. towards the rim. Just a spender.  Edited by coop

Jimmyjohns7724, When you say you think it is DDO-003 is that from CC's site? If so not even close sorry to say. Your coin is a regular cent and as coop said spendable. John1  |

I see what you guys are saying now. After looking all day and noticing some differences it's a little more apparent to me. I've been looking for the spread more than the die itself. Makes sense, thanks for bearing with me guys

The words IN GOD still seem doubled to me but that's about all I'm seeing now. Is that also deterioration?

So if it appears doubled but spreads towards the rim, 99% of the time it's nothing to care about? Great insight coop thanks for the explanation. Much better help than just saying what it is. I'm still new to the whole error thing and that was a huge help

I was taught from a yes or no teacher. But I always wanted to know what he knew. So when figured it out, I always answer with showing why I feel it is what I say it is. It teaches a lot better than, yes or no.

Exactly! There are a lot of questions and too many variety's to know up from down. Hopefully someday I can spot these coins from a mile away. I have used this forum for reference at times before posting anything and I've noticed COOP as being the one answer I looked for. Definitely a lot of good knowledge and a great way of explaining why as most others just recognize it and give the yes or no as you said. Much appreciated sir.
