These may not compare to a 1955 or 1969S but finding them on the same day makes it slightly more unusual.

I walked into a shop in North Texas about 10 years ago and asked if they had anything new. The person behind the counter handed me a Dansco Buffalo nickel album that had already been picked over but still had a few common date coins left in it. I bought the remaining coins for less than a buck apiece and they threw in the album for "free". One of those coins turned out to be a 1935-P double die reverse in nice AU condition. I sent it off to NGC and got it slabbed (AU58) and promptly sold it at a show in Hot Springs Arkansas a few weeks later for just north of 3k$. I was a happy camper!

In the wild- a wounded eagle SAC. Sold it that very day on ebay.
Purchases (unattributed at the time) tough call between the 1998 Close AM Proof cent in a set and a 1879 S reverse of 78 Morgan dollar both purchased at the same pawn shop many months apart.

Best one so far was 1995 D LMC FS 103. My first doubled die. Was quite a unique feeling

QH , the 1934 is definitely not plentiful.
A low grade coin , even if it's the doubled die, is not going to show any of the doubling. A die state that is just a bit later than the one I have may make the doubling indiscernible.
This one is the widest spaced doubling of the whole Lincoln series but the initial hubbing was quite light so the circulation and die state issues I mentioned combine to make this die a rare one.

I look for those. that tail feather is awesome. Mine would be the 2 FS-502 1930 p Lincoln's I picked. I have the only two that are above a brown grade. And I posted this before but has anyone ever seen a split die/rim to rim die crack quarter?

Just got confirmation from James Wiles of Conneca. I have the first documented Stage A 1909 P VDB DDO-001 FS-1101 EDS. That is one rare bird.
