CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 8:28 pm Super pick! I personally love this variety and eventually I'll pick one in high grade as well. An underrated DDR IMO, glad you're looking for it! Isn't this the second one you've cherry-picked? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 8:28 pm Dearborn I didn't explain very much out of excitement. I own one of these that is MS64. They are fairly common in that grade but there is no MS66 coin in existence. This coin being already graded by PCGS doesn't even need to be graded, I just tell them to attribute the variety and I have a lobe top population Washington. A very rare score! Yes CH Though last time I sent my 64 in they didn't label the variety. So I have two unattributed. Edited by Willburton 12/06/2021 8:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8782 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 8:45 pm That's sweet, congrats on the top POP! Was not familiar with this doubled die but it's really cool! Sorry, I just realized that I just put Top Pop. Solo Top Pop has a much better ring to it. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 12/07/2021 07:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 07:40 am Thanks guys. That's my second Washington top pop. I've got a few Lincoln's. I'll probably submit a bunch before the end of the year. Report this Post to the Staff
Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 08:33 am Great buy, but what does DDR FS-801 mean and how does it affect the price of a typical Washington quart? Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 08:44 am Slerk. I didn't explain this coin very well. It is a relatively rare DDR. This one is doubled eagles toes and the leaf above the mint mark. PCGS keeps a record of how many of these they have graded and what they sold for at auction. This particular variety has 10 coins graded MS65 and none graded 66. That makes this coin more desirable to big dog coin collectors. This coin being the highest graded of its kind could make their collection nicer than the other guys so they pay a lot for them. http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20...0DDDR001.htm Edited by Willburton 12/07/2021 08:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
