Got this one today. There is some decent notching in IGWT and in the "4" of the date. Probably too minor to try to get listed. What do you think?       There are hardly any DDO's listed for this year. What do you think? Is this one worthy of getting listed? All opinions welcome. Thanks for looking...Mont Edit: Forgot the "I" Of IN.

Looks like a DDO. Good enough to list? Don't know the criteria to justify a listing. If I found it, it would go into a 2x2 at least. John1  |

Mont, I definitely would contact DR Wiles on this one. Strong notching and the only listing on CONECA is one 1974D DDO and no mention of even medium or strong notching. *WTG! Congrats on the nice pick-up!! * Also responded to your posting on the IKE Group site* |

@chuckster I thought this one looked stronger than the ones I saw listed. BTW who is Dr. Wiles?

Thanks coop. Apparently I was looking at a different year last night when looking it up.  You are correct there are no pictures that I can find for this year. I have emailed Dr. Wiles as chuckster suggested. Should I email Wexler as well? |

Mont: Info on DR James Wiles. http://varietyvista.com/About%20the%20Author.htmDR. Wiles is the go to guy for anything I want verified/attributed etc before submission to a TPG. #1(IMHO!) (MR. Wexler is also fine to contact, as you can't go wrong with either gentlemen.) Just a matter of preference on my part. Edited by chuckster 125

Update: Over the weekend I sent photos of this coin to Dr. Wiles and John Wexler. Mr. Wexler replied this morning. He says he has no listings for a 1974-D DDO. He also says this coin looks to definitely be a DDO and has given me info on how to send it to him for attribution. I Plan on sending it out later this week. |

Cool. Get him listed. Fyi, DD Ikes are very, very common it's just that nobody bothers getting them listed usually unless the spread is severe. It should be listed my JW though

I have found several unlisted ones in my searches. This is the 1st one that looked severe enough to bother trying to list it. |

Update: I jsut received an email from Mr. Wexler. It is good news! A New DDO! Here is part of the email. Quote:I have processed the coin that you submitted for attribution in a package postmarked May 17, 2017. The 1974-D Ike dollar is 1974-D $1 WDDR-002 which is a new listing for my files. Congratulations on the new listing. It will be illustrated on the appropriate page of my website the next time that I update the site. I also plan to use it in my Varieties Notebook column in Coin World. It is scheduled to be in the August 21, 2017 installment of that column. Woohoo!! My 1st new Listing for Ikes.   |
