Hello everyone! As 2015 draws to a close, we have 116 listed DDRs for the P Homestead Quarter. No obverse varieties, no Denver/San Francisco (proofs OR business strikes) varieties.
So, here is a thread where you can post your Nebraska Homestead Quarter Doubled Die Reverses!
Post away!
Okay, so I'm just going to post mine in the start of this thread... Anyways, so I got out of school early last year to go and see the launch of the new Nebraska Homestead Quarter at Beatrice High school. It was a bit of a drive (1-2 hours), but when we got there it was awesome! They had ice sculptures with the design of the Homestead Quarter, bookmarks, panflets for the mint, and best off all a quarter exchange! After finding out they were only giving out D mint marked coins, I was a little dissapointed. Anyways, so I sat through the presentation, speeches, and the ceremonialy "coin pouring" (which was out of a spiket, like the one on the reverse of the coin". Anyways, the told and YN's in the crowed (that were NOT school children attending the event with their school) to stay put while everyone else leaves and they would give them a free coin. So, I sat there and waited, a little annoyed that we would have to wait in a line for the quarters in the rolls, untill they gave me my quarter. It came in this little round "box", marked with the US treasury seal. I looked inside, and sure enough it was a P mint marked coin! Anyways, they only gave out like 4-5 of these (not a lot of YNs attended!). I dont think that any were given out to the school children, as there was around 500 of them there (not even kidding). So, when we finally left with 2 rolls of shinny proof like D minted quarters in tow, I was happy. It wouldn't be for a few weeks that Tweak800 would post that he had discoved the very first DDRs, including the DDR-004. I immidatly checked my coin, and to my disbelief I was one of the only people to knowingly be in possession and ownership of the DDR-004. At first, they were selling at $200 a peice, and I was getting offers at $150, $129, everywhere! I should've let my 004 go for $200, but oh well (current value: $40). Still a really cool coin and a cool story!
