Awesome find! Just a friendly reminder: I would suggest you wear gloves while handling coins. That way fingerprints won't permanently stain the coin.   Appears to be in a nice AU condition grade. I ended up finding one as well a while back. It's also in AU condition. I can't find it at the moment though. It's burried down in the pages of the forum. Errers and Varietys.

Amazing find! Definitely more difficult to find CRH.

Thanks Errers, I kind of thought it was in poorer condition than it actually was when I first looked at it, so I figured a sit on the palm of the hand wouldn't matter, but looking at it in full rather than under the scope, it's definitely higher grade than I thought, and I should have handled it more carefully. I'l give it a rinse in acetone before 2x2-ing it anyway.

These are really hard to find in circulation. The DDO made news right when it came out, and so many were pulled that the TPG's gave free "variety fees" on them at the time. So a reasonably common DDO became reasonably difficult to find in circulation as so many were pulled right at the beginning. Downside is that even in MS-66 condition these aren't worth a ton of money, but plus side is that having a great example of a killer DDO in your collection is affordable. But finding one in circulation is a real feat! Kudos and congrats on that. |

Hi Sam when you find a great coin like these it makes it all worth while. All the time you spend looking at coin's it all makes sense. I have no reason to give up coin roll hunting and as you know sometimes it all pays off. Stevieb.
