StorminNorman34 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 6:54 pm So it is definitely a doubled die? So my next question is how rare (or maybe how common) is it to come across one of the lesser '72 DD's when roll searching? Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 10:53 pm The guestimate by the heavy weight CRH experts for finding a rare(ish) find is around 1/50,000 (i.e. 1 nice DD in about 20 boxes). That seems to be a reasonable estimate based on their years searching and millions of cents searched. This is a fun find, but probably not rare enough to merit that label. It's still a fun find! Good luck on the hunt!! Edited by Rackster 10/03/2015 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

StorminNorman34 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 7:02 pm Well after checking my die markers. This is NOT DDO #3, but the more scarce variety DDO #006! Which makes sense since the lack of doubling on "LIBERTY" was troubling me.....perhaps this one would encroach a bit closer to the making the merits of a "rare" label? Report this Post to the Staff
