Bought a couple date rolls recently - went through the first one quickly, and nothing. Went through the second today and found this bad boy!      Got a little over zealous with the photoshop...lol:  My FIRST EVER! Was a GREAT feeling going to coppercoins and finding ALL the die markers for this variety  (the broken left leg of the R, I didnt even notice until verifying) I know I didn't include the reverse, but based on this image what grade would you ballpark it to be? |

A Great Feeling and a day to be remembered And how many have you found since? Hopefully many? Just curious... what was your first find?  |

Since then I have found quite a few. my first one was a Morgan dollar with Doubling in the Liberty on the Obverse. I used to hunt Morgan and Peace dollar VAMS (Van Allen - Mallis Varieties) Then I discovered Eisenhower dollars and the varieties in that series and have been hooked ever since. And have found quite a few very cool varieties and Doubled Dies. And so far they are not that expensive to collect. But I think that time may be coming to an end as there is a lot happening in the Eisenhower world lately. Best of luck in your future hunting Terry |

Fantastic find! Cheers to many more! My first was a 1942 walking liberty DDO in MS. It sits in my 7070, with 6 known as listed by CONECA. |

Nice find... but I don't see the don't see the difference in the date. Can anyone help my untrained and unskilled eyes and explain how one can tell this is a double die?
Again, congrats!

You will know MD from the real thing with no problem now. jbuj, As strange as I would have thought that statement to be BEFORE I found it - I agree - your mind becomes "trained" somehow to recognize it. And am sure the more I find the better it will get. Actually went through about 25 steels that I hadn't checked in depth and found a 1943P-1DO-001 (will post pics in the morning). I didn't want to quit for fear of loosing my "hot streak" .... |

Great guide coop!
MadMortician - I think the toughest part is seeing through the age/wear of the coin - wish mine looked like the one in the pic! lol

Okay, now I'm jealous, what a great find. Aside from the 1917, it's the second most actively searched DDO for early year wheats. |
