1972-D 1DO-001. Its quite circulated but when I pulled it out of the roll, I saw the separation lines quite clearly.

1971 DDO and a few 1972 DDOs (but not the big one).

Slamnbass - yep die 1. Found in about $20 worth of cents I bought off a buddy who cashed in change accumulated across upstate New York after he worked construction for a few summers in a row.

Picks are in a similar thread from 2015

Depends on one's definition of rarity. I've had 9 different coins with Cuds listed in the last two months (thanks JC!) so 1943 x 7, 1942 and 1988 Cuds would be like about 1 known each.

But from bank rolls I've picked up 1999 WAM MS-64, 2014 DDO-001, 1997 DDO-001, 1988 RDV-006, 1972 DD0-003, 006, 007, 008, 009, 1971 DDO-001

Wheat pennies would be a whole different thing. Last night I found a 1941 DDO-001 and 1947 S/S RPM-004 (sans serif/trumpet tail). In the past year I've found 1917 DDO-001, 1936 DDO-001, 002, 003, 1943 DDO-001, 1943 DDR-001, 1944 D/S type 2, 1946 S/D, 1946 inverted S, 1956 RPM-008 and my favorite, 1955 DDO-002 AU-58.

"Bull - do you have pics? That's an amazing find, hope you made a thread about that. Incredible."

I had a thread here about eight years ago when I found it. Sent it off to Ken Potter and he verified it, wrote stories for Numismatic News and Coin World. PCGS offered to grade it for free so they could be the first ones to grade one. It was all pretty exciting, and still have the coin.

Australia's first gold coin:
1852 Adelaide Pound type 1.
The die broke after about 30 strikes.

I had a a type 2, very similar in design.
Probably about 250 examples exist today.

1883-O Morgan dollar VAM-1C2 LDS. It's just a couple strikes shy of the 1C3 die state and I have yet to see another like it.
