Just thought I'd remind you of this from coppercoind. Quote:
ADDITIONAL NOTE: A coin supplied by die variety expert Billy Crawford shows that the obverse die for this coin has been paired with a different reverse die. This may explain the rarity of this doubled die as it may have been caught early in the production run and the reverse die subsequently replaced. |

Thanks for the DD images in color Coop.

Hello PetesPockets55, Yes the coin is with me. I put a starting bid of 3k and... no action  The coin will be for sell again in 2021. But the price will be for more IF there are no more discovered between now and then.

Well looking at the fields on these images, it looks like an earlier die state. (Keep in mind the earlier die state could mean just a few were struck) Also remember the weakness of the devices could be a weak design issue from the available Master hub, Master die or Working hub. The die could still be fresh with a weakened hub or master die issue.  |

@coop,
I didn't know it (dies) broke down like that.
I ASSumed it was just 1 master hub that made all of the working dies.
Thanks

Not that the dies broke down, but that they noticed soon the reverse was a doubled die. The 1958-D DDO only has three known. The 1955 DDO made it till early MDS die state before it was pulled. Probably less than 100 1969-S DDO's out there. So when they do catch it, the die is pulled early. (Mint workers don't bother to sort through the coins to find the ones that passed by already. They probably figured: "No one else will notice them." But We do! |

 to CCF Ole Man. You should start your own thread,but I do not think your coin is a DDR at all. Would need better photos posted in your own thread to be sure. John1

@levelsofmadnes. I know it's been a minute since you've posted about 1982 DDO, and I wanted to ask what ever came of your coin, did it go to an auction? Just curious, I'm the guy that found one as well. Hope all is well and hope to hear back from you, |

hello Etako808 sent it to Great Collections for a min bid of $3000. it did not sell and now sits in a safe. Ian from Great Collects sent me an email 6 months after the auction: Do you still have your 1982 DDR that you consigned to us 6 months ago?
If so, I'd love another chance at auctioning it for you. Please let me know.
I have a few serious collectors looking for it at the moment.
Sincerely,
- Ian
SO, there are buyers looking for that variety. Congrats once again on your SUPERB find  |

https://www.numismaticnews.net/arti..._doubled_dieArticle is from 2008 of course, but the math is there. Let's say like the 1995 DD, the die life was 600,000 strikes, and attrition rate of 10% being lost to damage per year since being minted. in 2008 the writers conclusion is that preliminary estimates of possible surviving pieces of this particular doubled die are likely between 100 and 500 pieces, of which fewer than 20 percent are likely to currently be uncirculated in grade. I think the math is a little off since If I scale it for an attrition rate, it's more like about 40K surviving up to this year in some level of circulated to mint state. but it could be right also with a few hundred examples tops surviving still to find. it's a hard guess really, not many been graded or sold. Heck, I've never know to look for it even until this post..

On one of the images I have for this year of the statue, it shows two heads:  This is Ziggy's coin (Original finder) but no one mentions the doubled head? |

I'm going to state the obvious on this coin and the other one found recently. Not knocking anyone. With such a low population there is no price guide on this coin. You have to find two bidders that want to battle it out for this coin or start with an incredibly high bid price. I have two top pop coins with similar rarity. One with a 3k book value and feel it would be very hard to get over $1000 at auction but who knows. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37617498 |
