I'm looking for an error that is a known collectible, and very obvious. Something that you don't have to look close to just to barely make out. Such examples would be the 37-D 3 legged buffalo, or the 1955 DDO cent. In those cases the error are plain as day, but unfortunately they're very pricey. Are there some others that can be had in higher grades (EF+) for $500 or less? |

I second all the ones mentioned. And of course, the more obvious the doubling is, the more it will cost.
I love Ikes and the 1972-P has three varieties which can be had for less than $500 - problem is that the difference doesn't jump out at you.

Errors or varieties are you after.

You say error, they list varieties. I think you are actually talking about varieties since you mention the '55 DDO and the '37 D Three-legged Nickel. You can get a knockout off center struck coin , which is an error, for around ten bucks. You can cherry pick Kennedy varieties at almost any coin show. You can also pull them out of rolls. (If you know what to look for) Probably the most obvious for the least money would be the 1995 DDO Lincoln Cent. Edited by foundinrolls

How about a 1983 DDO Lincoln? Those are running a couple of hundred bucks in mint state. Michael |

Which 1983 DDO? There are at least 7 DDO varieties that I know of for that year. |

Sorry, I meant the 1-R-IV. As was asked by USArmyParatrooper it has the most spread. Thus being very obvious.

No Need to apologize, I just wanted to clarify it a little as one DDO is not the same as another pricewise and I wouldn't want somebody to spend a hundred bucks, lets say for a ten dollar version:-) |

I hate to say this but just because it is in a slab doesn't mean it's a big deal. I dont even think they know what they are talking about on this one.
Think about it, Unless PCGS scraped off a piece of the "white metal", which of course , they did not. There is no way they can tell what that is or whether it was added after the coin left the mint.
Ecven in a slab, I don't buy this one...
