SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 1:51 pm This box is my best ever by a mile. Can't wait to do a full post once I've finished hunting. A quite strong class 6 (I believe? Maybe class 2?) spread on this one! Report this Post to the Staff

That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 4:55 pm It just looks like damage to me. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 5:11 pm @thatcoindude Look at the dot between E and PLURIBUS. There is also a lot of circulation flattening, but the dots are a dead giveaway. Here is the VV entry to compare against: http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...7PDDR001.htm Edited by SamCoin 06/12/2020 5:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 5:50 pm It is a DDR, but the condition will lower the value a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 6:03 pm Thanks Coop! Yeah, it's a shame, but comes with the territory when dealing with circulated wheat cents, unfortunately. I enjoy finding as many varieties as I can, even if the condition is less than ideal.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7028 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 11:00 pm Now a days just finding a wheat back in a bank box is a nice rare find...and the odds of it being a DDR or DDO.. Nice find... Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 11:40 pm with Greasy... wheaties are getting near impossible to find in the wild. Nice find, Sam! Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/13/2020 01:11 am thanks guys! Yeah, my area seems to average more per box than a lot of places, but the odds of one coin in 22 (which is how many I got in this box) being a doubled die are pretty darn low! Feel extremely lucky to have gotten one. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 06/13/2020 7:06 pm Nice find SamCoin. The dots is what I'm looking for too. That looks like way more spread then damage. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/13/2020 7:33 pm Thanks, Sheldius! Yes, most of it is spread. The circulation flattening has worn down a lot of the devices, but, comparing it with the VV entry, doesn't seem to have distorted them much. I'm generally not super enthusiastic about this type of DDR on wheat cents, but this one is fairly major, especially on that first dot Report this Post to the Staff
