Got My Truview 1934 1c RD Back From PCGS And I Somehow Missed It Being What I Think Is FS-101 DDO

Nice Looker!

I see a lot of reflection doubling in their picture, but not the DDO.

If this was a DDO, and you just like the idea of a designation being on the label, then I would go for it. Have you checked to try to find a sold one of this same type/grade? Always check ahead of time if money is important to you b/c you likely already have the value of what you *might* get out of the coin into slabbing it (aka. the company already got all the profit and you get a net of nothing if you sell). If this was a DDO and you sent it back in, then you would more than likely be pouring double value of the coin into it and maybe regain half of your money. Though PCGS sure wouldn't mind...they love this as it gives them a better Christmas

And I am not sure you know, but this penny also is neverguarateed the same MS 66 again either. They use absolutely nothing verifiable, or any scientific method to grade coins. As their website says, it is subjective. So the grade is not about the coin itself, it is only an opinion, from that day, of the two graders who saw the coin. That is why the very profitable re-slabbing game exists. If the companies chose to use something verifiable (they used to in the 90s and abandoned it), then their profits drop way off.

Looks like doubling on the reverse as well. My guess is Machine Doubling and not DDO.

I'm not seeing it with these pictures. 101 is with the 93 located way south of the date. It was just discovered a couple of years ago. Not many examples of it. If this is 101 it would be the top population. Worth thousands. And I would think PCGS would identify it.

I was somewhat going off of the current thumbnail cent for that listing and how they were (to me at least) nearly identical. Here's his:





Here's a comparison




Here's a link to the full size images - can zoom in and see quite a bit more than the compressed one above

Is that the 3 die cracks on vv, that u see on his?

Definitely not 101.
101 begins to have a die crack coming off the tail of the 9 in this die state. You can see it here on the example that I found.
