macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5835 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 3:53 pm Nice find jtlee321, Yours even had a die break by the wing tip, would be a real find if this one was in AU - MS grade. Report this Post to the Staff
jtlee321 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 5:04 pm I wish it was in higher condition. But I will be on the lookout for anymore, regardless of the condition. This is such an interesting and fun discovery. Report this Post to the Staff

jtlee321 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 5:45 pm @Cascade No the dealer did not know. It was in a binder with 3 other 1919 dimes. I handed him the coin in the 2x2 and asked him how much he wanted. He gave me a price and I paid it. Report this Post to the Staff

I handed him the coin in the 2x2 and asked him how much he wanted. He gave me a price and I paid it." That's what I do when I find a coin I'm interested in. Let the dealer name his price. Sometimes, like the below coin, I didn't have to ask how much. Great find! Report this Post to the Staff
StrikeOut New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 07:51 am Just a quick update - we are up to 7 confirmed known specimens. 1) ANACS VF-20 - Discovery piece (StrikeOutXXX / Jeff Sam) 2) NCS AU Details - Environmental Problems - Confirmation piece - Own inventory - John Hodson 3) PCGS VG-8 unattributed, then ANACS VG-8, back to PCGS VG-8 Attributed - Bulk over the counter B&M Purchase (KearneyCC / Bjorn Bergstrom) 4) ANACS EF-40 small show Portland, OR (Dealer folder unattributed) - (jtlee321/Justin) 5) NGC - Good - Owner Unknown 6) NGC - Good - Owner Unknown 7) NGC - Good - Owner Unknown Justin's (#4) was examined by James Wiles (CONECA) who annotated it as a Middle Die State, so we know the die didn't get pulled right away at least, it may have had a normal run. The owners of the first 4 are all on the various message boards or reported through the message boards - NGC released their population report last week with the 3 Goods on them, I'm unsure who owns them, but their variety specialist confirmed they were 3 different examples. Still no public sales to judge desirability or pricing structure, although I believe the VG-8 example will be up for sale as soon as he gets it back from PCGS - not sure where though. The DDO for sure will be in the next Cherrypicker's Guide. It's "Looking Good" to be included in the RedBook, and there is a high probability it will be included in the registry sets at PCGS/NGC, all of which will help this mature into a mainstream variety. Love to hear any stories of finds or searches of others. Jeff Edited by StrikeOut 07/08/2015 12:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 02:16 am Quote: Any idea of the approx value on this variety? My guess is maybe 2,000 in G-04. I don't know, you can't exactly determine that that easily because there really hasn't been any sold on the market; at least I don't think?! Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 10:30 am I am 99% sure I just found one. Look as the die crack at K-2 and compare it to jtlee's Tip #4: Could this nickel be worth a lot? I don't know yet, but I only paid $10. I felt I could not go wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
