sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 06:22 am One would normally expect that the quality controls relating to proof coins would prevent triple die errors from escaping into issue. I guess the reason in this case, is that the error was sufficiently minor to escape detection. That sometimes happens. Congratulations. Your sharp eye has helped you. Report this Post to the Staff
Quin36 Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 08:48 am I don't know, in the back of my mind I still truly believe the mint produces error coins intentionally. Otherwise, none of us would be here looking for them. Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 09:08 am PCGS is the best. It looks like you might have a cameo coin as well those are worth a little more. I have a DDO from the same year, mine is small date over large date. It didn't seem valuable enough to me to send in. Not many sold records on your coin but a very nice one indeed!

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 3:25 pm I don't believe this is the tripled die obverse, the doubling on IGWT doesn't look close. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...0SDDO007.htm It is still a nice doubled die obverse though! Good proof varieties like this are tough to find. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 3:46 pm Did you find it in a mint set? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 10:59 pm It is a DDO, but not the Tripled die: Note the mintmark locations are different. Also the tripled die show double lines on all areas. Report this Post to the Staff
Tldemars333 Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 11/15/2019 02:59 am Great! Its heading to PCGS right now! Yes, I found it in a proof set that I purchased in a lot at a flea market. I opened the set to get it.I found many goodies in that lot! Edited by Tldemars333 11/15/2019 03:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/15/2019 5:43 pm Well lets check to see if it is a good thing or not: On the TDO: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/30351585 PR68RD = $600. DDO: LD DDO FS-113 (030.6) PR66RD - $200. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/29598718 FS-102 DDO FS-102 LD/SD = $160. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/15545874 https://www.PCGS.com/cert/26098329 DDO FS-102 LD/SD PR66RD = $275. So if it is not one of these listed FS numbers, the price might exceed the costs of having the coin graded. You need to find out if it is listed by a FS number first. If it is not one of the listed ones, you will just have a graded proof coin, rather than being graded as a variety. Report this Post to the Staff
