 To CCF , The 1936-P you saw for $800 might have been a doubled die obverse . But there's a lot to take into consideration , condition of coin, circulated or uncirculated, etc. The front ( obverse ) of your coin needs to be much larger to evaluate .  |

I hate to say but from what I have seen most of the coins on Etsy are priced out of this world and not worth much. Be careful!! |

Yeah , I know it's far fetched but what if Etsy's 36 is indeed a nice 1936 DDO And warrants the price tag ?  |

actually I have been looking closely at it it is a DDO and a DDR witch as far as I can find out does not exist and the strike on the l is another thing I'm trying to understand if you look at liberty you can see the doubled on the t and also on the r and u on the back there is more doubled on the e pluribus |

Even if it was DDO, at that grade it's hardly worth $100 let alone $800+. If those are the seller's images I don't see how you could "look closely" at it. |

this is all I know I took the picture with my cell phone and copied to my laptop and I can zoom in pretty good I have also went to sites that show pictures of ddo1 dd02 ddo3 it has the same characteristics as the ddo1 and ddo2 also on an another site it was saying there is DDR versions of the 1936 coin is it possible for a coin to have both DDO and DDR on them |
