1995-P Double Die Obverse? Possible New Find Update!

Sorry doubledieman - copyrighted material so I can't. Looks to be the same spread but let's wait for another person to confirm here (maybe you can get to a LCS and have a look at a copy).

What is interesting is that when I think of DDOs for this date, my mind jumps to the variety with the large LIBERTY offset (-001 at CC). -002 is the more valuable DDO for that year and your variety (Red Books?) is of course, not listed. Scarcity will be interesting since I can't recall someone here posting that one but I've seen a few -001 over the past few months. Yours is the first I've seen with that spread and when looking up the value on my -001, I was surprised to see the picture of your variety there instead of -001's. If there is a correlation between what's pictured and the Red Book value, $300 would seem to more than cover the insurance on your coin.

Maybe it was under all of our noses all along. That might make this all the more interesting that a variety pictured in the Red Book was never formally recognized until you brought it to the coin collecting community's attention!

Is there any offset in LIBERTY on your coin by the way?

John1 I forgot to ask, how many of those specimens you mention 1995-P like mine listed in the RedBook have been discovered to date? Whats the value on a coin with a low count or even for a new discovery? Whom do you sell such a one-of-a-kind coin

Hello Rackster, the coin here http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=eds is very close but still different and its a 1995-D. Very close. Mine has no spread on the IN - IGWT - it starts to spread in G very slightly the on the O & D in God and so on. I should here back late next week.

7TF,
Thanks for your opinion too, I will send it to ANACS if its a DDO new discovery. It could be a scarce rarity I might sell at http://www.ha.com maybe they could put it in what they call the fun auction it doesn't warrant their regular auction.

I will keep you dated


Thanks you all again

Edward

Hi Edward - I figured I toss out the 95D listing to give you ballpark on the insurance you might want for your coin but it looks like it's on the way to John Wexler. It'll be neat to see how this shakes out.

At any rate, my quick scan of the IGWT is going to be a more detailed inspection. I had focused too much on LIBERTY and given no notching/spread, it can't be used solely to find all varieties for 1995 (or should I say, he one's I look for). I wasn't aware of the 1995D variety either until your coin appeared. So in any sense, the shake up has already begun.

Theanks for the link Edward. My coin was a rare VAM and they are one of those things that are only valuable to certain people. Others would look at the coin and not see the value. DDO is a different story and having a Discovery label on it would definitely give it more interest.

Your welcome. 7TF, if you submit a photo to HA.com tell me the outcome is.

Rackster, coin hunting is fun for sure and I have a long list too LOL.
I found out the roll I bought which I discovered this coin in, this seller had three rolls left, I just bought the last 3 rolls he had. Maybe I'll find another, Ya right anyway They're on there way in the mail... but it's always good to think so eh?

I can't wait to hear from Mr. John Wexler next week, this is exciting for me.

Always be positive and optimistic. While finding another might be unrealistic, could you have slept wondering about the other 3 rolls? I couldn't!

As an 18 year old, I heard a waitress dump a roll of quarters into the drawer - solid silver. I jumped from behind the grill and pulled out a $10 and bought all of them. I then realized I'd have to fetch a new roll of quarters for the drawer. Having the key to the cash box, I immediately thought there might be another roll of silver. I was right! There were 3 more rolls. So maybe some good juju is heading your way in the mail. You never know.

So, you will likely feel like a little kid a week before Christmas for the next few days. Waiting on John Wexler's news and the rolls in the mail - sleeping and eating might be a bit more laborious! French fries and milkshakes might help you to get by!
