John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 05:14 am On the fence. Die scratches match from VVs' site but not the notch on the R http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...6PDDO001.htm. Does not match Wexlers http://doubleddie.com/828949.html John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 05:20 am In hand John1 the notching on the bottom right leg on the R sticks out. For some reason my new iPhone doesn't take as sharp pictures as my old iPhone. It is the DDO-001 Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 08:44 am @TropicalBats is it a toughie because it's scarce or because it's the only known doubled die for 1986 and not a lot of people look for it, I wonder? The Ridge Ring suggests there must be a good number of these out there Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 10:10 am SamCoin, there are actually three 1986 O DDO's on Variety Vista's site. Not counting Wexler's or Coppercoins. I think why it is a tough variety to find is that there may not be a ton of these things out there. I may be wrong but the die was not far from being removed due to Die Deterioration hence not a lot of them. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 11:07 am @Jim, good point. I forgot that this is one of the few zincolns for which VV actually has more listings than Wexler. That said, wouldn't Die Deterioration be a sign of significant die use? That should mean a lot of coins were minted with this obverse die, no? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 12:42 pm Sam, I would think there would have to be. Report this Post to the Staff
