I was wondering what my 1984 P LMC "Doubled Ear" DDO would grade at? I found it from my bank in a circulated roll. Also, what would be the current or estimated value for this? I do not want to send it in to be grade by a TPG service because it will cost a fortune and it will be much cheaper to be it unslabbed and raw. I am not doing this to show off, I am doing this because I am curious about the grade and value.    Errers and Varietys.

AU-58 red and brown. ANACS will slab it and not charge you a fortune. Get it in a holder before it gets misplaced.

Thank you westernsky for your input. I have it in a non PVC coin flip and it's in my coin collection album.

The full coin pics are a little dark, but I would say a bit lower. Maybe AU-53 to -55 and, obviously, RB if not BN. It's a fantastic roll find!  I agree with you that it is not worth sending to a TPG. In BU, yeah, but not circulated. The value may top out at $20. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Thank you spruett for your great input. I am thinking it's in the lower AU grade range as you stated. The darkness on the reverse was caused by a stain from being in circulation for a little bit. Probably most likely sticky residue got on it. Errers and Varietys.

I did notice the stain, but that shouldn't really affect the technical grade.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I think AU55 and I would not bother with a TPG. I would put it in a hard plastic holder,Air-Tite or similar. John1  |

Since I have money to blow (NOT), I sent one off for grading recently. Haven't got it back yet but I'll have $23 into the coin.

AU-55/58. Do not send to TPG. Just store it carefully. |

Thank you shotgung and SilverDollar2017. I will not send it in to a TPG to get it graded. If it was Uncirculated or Brilliant Uncirculated, then it would be worth sending it in. I have it stored it carefully in a non PVC coin flip. Errers and Varietys.

EF-45/AU-50, significant wear to the memorial.
AWESOME FIND! I've searched thousands and never found one.

 That sounds about right, probably around that type of grade. Thank you for your opinion BadThad! It helps me a lot. Errers and Varietys.

PCGS MS62 brown slab it slab it and put it on the block. No way eh? I wouldn't sell it either its a killer find. Never found one but the grubby little 1997 doubled ear I found is worth about $30.00 but I wouldn't budge except maybe $125.00. All of them are just so dang hard to find I keep them as spoils of war. Great score.
