JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 07:08 am I was looking through my 7070 Dansco Album to see if I could upgrade a few holes when I removed the Buffalo nickel to take a closer look. And to my surprise, I beleive that I might have been sitting on a fairly nice 1935 DDR-018.1 for over five years! What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Facts admits it exists. Not much else. This thread will probably become a prominent Google result for FS-803 even if we never figure it out. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a very useful website-with photos-for Buffalo nickel doubled dies. http://varietyvista.com/index.htm BTW-I was the first to report this variety. Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 9:21 pm So your professional opinion on my coin is..............? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 9:55 pm I was hoping for that myself, since there are no images at Variety Vista either, only the CONECA master listing which has a description and nothing else. For what it's worth, it sounds close. I'll keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff
yellow1053 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 03/16/2015 02:43 am I'm by NO means an expert, but have seen/had my share of doubled dies over the 30+ years of collecting, and in my opinion, that is for sure a doubled die. it exhibits all the characteristics (ie: sharp separation on the serifs, etc) A very nice piece!

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 02:08 am I've decided to send it in to PCGS for grading and variety attribution with my fingers crossed! I would like to get the groups consensus on its grade, so...... What do you guys think it might come back graded? Again, thanks to everyone who tried to help me pin this one down!
