I've never considered the die state, but from what I can tell it looks like a late MDS. The die flow lines are appearing, but the edges of the devices are still in tact. But I bought the coin at a coin show just for my collection of BU coins. After I got it home then realized it was a variety. I checked the next show and the price had raised 5 times as much as he had figured out what it was by then.

The local show is a small one. It meets once a month. After going there a few years, the sellers have got wind of me and look very closely at what I buy. So I've not gone for a few years now, due to changes in work schedules and cutting back on my coin budget a little. I've got to get back to searching what I already have and selling extras of what I've found and what I don't collect no longer. But I figure that is what retirement time is for.

I was going to wait and let the professionals make the first pronouncement but I'm going to step up and say you have a Doubled Die.....I just don't see a third or fourth in those pictures. It's an exciting find and I'm proud for you  |

Hi, Definitely a doubled die. It looks like CONECA 1-O-V also in the CherryPickers' Guide as FS-50-1964D-101. Nice coin and rare in MS-65 or above. Circulated examples even though very nice can be found in the $20.00 range. Some can be found in what a dealer would call scrap silver and are definitely worth looking for. Have Fun, Bill |

Foundinrolls is very much correct. Before I started working at the coin shop, I cherry picked about three dozen of the DDO,TDO, and QDO coins ( mostly DDO's ), along with a bunch of RPM's from the melt bag. These are circulated coins, but when was the last time you saw a 64 Kennedy worn past XF ? And most are AU. I would still do it - they never look at the Kennedy's before bagging them- but I don't have time. I suspect most other dealers do not have time either. If they let you search that kind of stuff, there can be lots of stuff to find- get a Cherry Pickers Guide ,it is immensely helpful. Melt bags can be a great place to get coins worth a bit more than you will pay at melt, I just know there have been 42/1-D Mercs getting through since we don't get to look that closely at every coin and they are hard to spot. |
