rbf Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 3:33 pm Does anyone know if more examples of the 1958 DDO cent have been discovered yet? The authors of the CherryPickers Guide say they believe this variety have never reached general circulation, so I am curious as to how/where these were ever discovered in the first place?

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 4:20 pm desertgem, I suspect that a legitimate one would most likely be sold through a major auction house f another one turned up. On the outside chance it's a real one, which I doubt, it should go for a lot more than that. I am going to try to find it and see if the pictures show anything useful. The odds are that it is another misidentified coin with Machine Doubling. Also, there are lesser known die varieties on the 1958 cent as well as 1958 D cents. maybe you could point us to the listing.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 4:26 pm I checked it out, ....If that is anything at all, it's one of the minor DDOs. Here is what the "big one" looks like. Note LIBERTY http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...dDieCent.htm If this is the guy that has $60,000 written on the 2X2 , everything about his listing is deceptive. In his defense though, if you read the Questions to sellers portion, he says he was made aware of the error and just hasn't taken the sale down yet. It only takes a few seconds to remove a listing so I am not sure what he is waiting for. In any case. It isn't what it is advertised to be.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 1:48 pm Only two examples of the 1958 DDO are known to exist, both are mint state, and both are worth in excess of $100,000. Anyone claiming to have one of those on ebay has a large imagination to go with their likely normal 1958 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 3:57 pm Foundinrolls, Sorry I didn't give the listing rather than have you dig for it. It had just popped up on my ebay search program under double die and then coincidentally I read your posting. Later I checked my CP guide and noticed that it didn't come close in the spread and dismissed it from mind, Not that I had the money to bid on it even if it was real Jim Report this Post to the Staff
