DDR-004 on the homesteads kind of perplexing. The spread is crazy and it really doesn't look like any single-squeeze-era doubled die I've ever seen... That's more or less the basis of his argument is that due to it being a wide spread it can't have come from squeeze hubbing and is therefor a re-engraved die not a doubled die. However, I still am of the opinion that it is a DDR due to the curvature of the secondary device. It matches extremely well, and if it was re-engraved it would have likely been done by an average mint employee and wouldn't be A) that precise and B) that far off. |

That is an $8 well spent! Beautiful cent and the early die state shows it to be a monster!

Very nice pickup! Really nice underrated variety. I should be moving within an hour of Gettysburg soon, maybe I should check out next year's Gettysburg show. Also fully agree with GrapeCollects. I sent Fivaz the photo of DDR-004 that he used in his presentation and will use in the book. (I figure since that presentation is on YouTube, I'm not spoiling anything) After sending him the photo, he would later ask me an estimate of value. Not once did he mention his disagreement with the DDR label, so his presentation was a surprise to me as well, although he did call the variety a "doozy" in an email. |

Definitely nice - better than I expected when I first read the title. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash? Download and read: Grading the graders Costly TPG ineptitude and No FG Kennedy halveshttps://ln5.sync.com/dl/7ca91bdd0/w...i3b-rbj9fir2 |

@Tanman @Grapecollects very interesting! The one thing that does still make me curious about DDR-004 is the fact that the doubling is so strong in the right window, but is non-existent in the left. All the other varieties I've seen for that year show very clear continuity of doubled elements (e.g. DDR-104 also has major doubling on the pump, but has no abrupt cutoff point where the doubling just dramatically ends, and it connects to the main design of the pump itself).

This is certainly a wonderful variety! Nice find! I agree, very underrated and is a great candidate for CPG. 1965 DDR-002 quarter is a doubled die I thought should have been in the CPG long ago. I hope a lot more great varieties make it in the next release.

@SamCoin Most of the ones on Wexlers site do cut off abruptly and are isolated to one pane. I would say such strong doubling isolated to just one pane is unusual, but considering there are 175(!) known dies odds are there will be one like DDR-004. Just a darn good DDR. Apologies to TB for detailing the thread. |

Nice one. I've only seen a couple of those. The last one went for over $30. Cherrypick price.

Thanks folks! And no problem with me about the Homestead bit, as I learned from that part and like it when threads get folks talking and go places.
