Is there anything I should know before I start hunting? Are there varying degrees of the doubling for this issue, or are they pretty much the same? I'd like a high grade, and if possible, as much doubling as possible. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 11:28 am If you want a real spacefiller for the 1955 DDO-001 don't pay for that "poor mans" junk because thats what just what it is- Die Deterioration. Coppercoins lists four 1955 DDOs with the other three being reasonably affordable and actual DDOs The retail side of coppercoin's website has a 1955P-1DO-003 for sale in AU for cheap. BTW, the link you posted has nothing to do with 1955 DDOs. The coin you posted is a Denver repunched mint mark (RPM). Edited by biokemist6 09/24/2007 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 10:41 pm Thanks for the info, guys! biokemist6, so there are actual 1955 DDO's for reasonable prices? Would you mind elaborating on that, or tell me how to do a search on ebay? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 10:53 pm Obviously the Big One, 1955P-1DO-001, is the one that makes you dizzy when you look at it and will cost close to a grand. The others are not as dramatic as that one and it is reflected in the values but they are still 1955 DDOs nevertheless. Go to http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php and type in 1955 for the Date, check Philadelphia for the Mint, and doubled die obverse for Variety Type. You will have access to pics of the four DDOs and the die variety info for each one. Report this Post to the Staff
