Also to clarify, I mean send side by sides of the variety, not a physical extra. I hope that helps.

would it have been a good idea to send in to ANNACS 1st , get it attributed, and then once graded in an ANNACS holder, cross it over? Great find BTW!!! unfortunate they dropped the ball

Well yes, if it turns into having to send the same coin multiple times to get the variety attribution, that will take all the premium out out of the coin and give it to them. It would be better to send it to ANACS only since from what I've heard is better with variety coins. The premium is better with PCGS, is why I sent it there. I can't say for sure it was PCGS's fault though. My local coin dealer unfortunately is the one I believe dropped the ball on this one. The reason I think that is due to he had never seen anyone bring in a real DDO before and didn't believe this was one.

I sent off a 1970 s FS-107 TDO at the beginning of this month to PCGS. I think I'll wait to see what comes of that one first before I decide what to do with the 1966.

Oof, I missed the whole thing with PCGS in my last comment and just thought it was a new post about the coin. That is unacceptable. PCGS is an absolute parasite on this hobby, and it infuriates me that in the current landscape of coin collecting, so much of the coin's value is determined by whether or not they print an attribution number on the label. This is a no-doubter, and the fact that they missed it just shows that their graders are completely incompetent.

I finally sent it back in to get the Variety designation. I'm pleased.
