This was a great deal on Rick Snows website this week, PCGS MS62BN. This coin is very elusive in MS and for $250, this was as good as any deal I have had in recent memory. Heck the PCGS grading/attribution fees/shipping would have been $60 alone on a good day. Rick said it was discounted due to some spots that have been scratched off. I cannot see any evidence of this. Coin looks fantastic in hand. I can mark this variety off my list in MS now.   |

I know this is a old post, but can you help me with what DDO snow 1 means? I bought this 1887 for $120. Was that a good buy or not? Thanks, and I hope someone receives this.   |

DDO means Doubled Die Obverse; Snow-1 is the variety attribution. http://indiancent.wikispaces.com/1887+Snow-1According to Snow's 3rd edition, "the doubling is only visible on the right side of the obverse on the feathers and America" (pg. 567). I can't tell from your photos whether or not yours has the doubling on America maybe someone else can tell. -MV |

How does this 1887 Snow 1 fit on the rarity scale?

1887 Snow-1 is a 4 star rating meaning it is one of the top varieties with a premium between 5X to 10X according to the 3rd edition of Rick's book.

52Raymo. I thought I saw the diagnostic doubling but wasn't 100% sure. What grade do you think cheflife's is? Was $120 a good price for this variety? -MV |

I have an iPad and can expand the pic quite a bit. I think his is an XF40 or right around there. I think it's one I was following on ebay and he got it for a good price. If it had been in a little better condition, I would have rassled cheflife for it lol. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

Based on the date position relative to the denticles, cheflife's coin is not the S-1.
Cheflife, why did you pay up for this?
