CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 12:56 am I've seen a large amount of these extra tree DDRs slabbed by PCGS on ebay recently, both P and D mints and many different DDR listings. I thought it was very interesting to see a PCGS DDR attribution without an FS number assigned to it. Try searching "Minnesota extra tree" on ebay and many PCGS graded examples will pop up. Below is an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203065798719 I never thought that PCGS would certify a variety not listed in the CPG without a "minor variety" label. Thoughts? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 1:36 pm I think they did pay the variety attribution fee. The slabs correctly list the variety, but the varieties themselves are not CPG listed. I haven't known the Major TPG to slab a variety absent from the CPG, which is why this is so interesting. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 2:25 pm PCGS does, or did, attribute and label any Minnesota DDR by DDR-### if you pay the variety fee. I don't know exactly what to call it, but the Minnesota quarters were the first coins to have such an abundance of stronger doubled dies and be widely popular at release. PCGS recognized that and offered to grade and label these varieties as the widespread popularity of the new discoveries would surely generate some revenue for the company. The 2005 OIV nickels and the 2015 Homestead quarters are two other coins that come to mind that had a similar frenzy. https://www.numismaticnews.net/arti...er_varieties Report this Post to the Staff
