Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 10:01 am I have a 1971-S silver proof Eisenhower dollar that has been attributed by PCGS as a Minor Variety TDO (Triple Die Obverse). When I look this coin up the TDO designation is not listed in the Variety parameter. Here is the link: http://www.PCGS.com/cert/31766750 Does PCGS only include MAJOR variety information?

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 08:53 am Until a variety is WIDELY accepted it will not achieve recognition by the numismatic community and be properly cataloged. If you read Coin World they are constantly finding varieties of LMC's. But since it takes a 10x loupe (or more) to see them only specialists will take note of them. And I NEVER see prices.

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 06:26 am Thanks, guys. I haven't had a chance to match it with IDDD yet, but I will soon. I don't have the coin in my possession, so I'll try using the TrueView photo. It might be sufficient. Edited by Darth Morgan 02/23/2016 06:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
