How coins are labeled in numismatic jargon does not change the fact that most every coin collector considers a doubled die an error since the mint produced a coin unlike what was intended. It seems more reasonable to say that for a given year there are different varieties of doubled die errors. To me, anyway.

I agree with Mike. That to a die hard collector of varieties, the break down of the die does not make it a variety. It just shows that the die is aging from use. Events that happen to a die are used as markers by die variety collectors, but that is all use them for to ID the same die pair/or added die to confirm die aging. The best doubled die example I recently purchased was the die variety on the 2015. It is a good price to a doubled die. I got mine off ebay. |

Basically the die is a error, the coin is a variety not an error Another good place to look for DDO's is on early Shield nickels. There are lots of them and they can often be found unattributed. 1868 is a real good year for them. Edited by Conder101

It's my understanding a coin can be a variety and an error. Some coins are both. There are different die stages of varieties and some errors, but varieties repeat and errors were unintended. It seems you want a Variety/Error coin in a slab, and at a reasonable price. Why not buy a 95 LMC and have it slabbed? I think ANACS is reasonable. Nice doubling on liberty and in God we.....

Thanks all for the information and discussion! I'm watching a couple slabbed '95 LMC DDOs and a couple raw. I like the looks of it and the general price range. I'm keeping my eyes open for a '46 Walker DDR but may make that a hunting project for something unattributed that I can snag. I do happen to like the reverse design on the Walking Liberty's more than the obverse.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I'd prefer a nice XF 1936 1c DDO-001 to the more modern DDOs, but that's just me.

But the topic was inexpensive doubled dies. I got mine for $16 shipped. To me that is something I didn't have yet. (as I live in an area where the Philly coin don't reach as often. (99% Denver coins in my area) I have received a few duplicates from finds of others, but I wanted one of these for my collection. Now I have one!

Oh well, there's a lot more where that came from. I'm still searching! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
