Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 04/27/2021 1:57 pm I take pride in my goal of building the largest collection of Korean mint errors in the world. Give me a decently graded Korean error coin over a Top Pop "regular" coin any day; not that I don't also love Top Pops. I recently sent in at least 30 Korean errors to NGC and got a big set that I have not yet opened, but I peaked at a smaller submission that included an 1898 DDO 1/4 YANG. The DDO is obvious and can be seen without magnification, so I wasn't shocked that I got the attribution. However, I was very pleased to see that my DDO discovery was added to the NGC Census as a die variety. The DDO is in the words "1/4 YANG". It being the first attribution to the die variety, it is also a "Top Pop" sitting pretty at AU-53. ^^ Report this Post to the Staff

Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 10:34 am Thank you. I actually have another one where the DDO is on the four Korean characters to the right of 1/4 Yang. Time to get that one sent in and attributed as well. Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 08:46 am Nice one! I have so far come across Korean error coins completely by dumb luck including a rotated die error 5 fun. A DDO is really neat!!! What do you think of this error Lembafc? It looks like doubling on the letter "hundred" but can't quite tell what it is.

Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 08:48 am @Gxseries I've tried to send in a similar coin and NGC did not call it a DDO, as it was Machine Doubling. :( Report this Post to the Staff
