The last mention I have was one selling for $49.95 documenting some from the blue ridge pocket change market reports. Personally its up to you, I might slab it at that value if already sending in other coins due to the shipping back and forth and $10 flat fee costs added in addition to the grading and attribution fees which just makes sending it alone not really worthwhile in many cases for moderns unless its for a collection. The discovery coin is always far higher value and further as mentioned is in a great MS-65 mint state to compare.

Is this you asking this to blue ridge & co @33:29 into this video, looks like the same coin? They suggested no if just to confirm the variety since its visible without the grading it could be sold that way (if value is low).
Oh, alternatively you can use Anacs as they have graded these also at lower costs if your unsure if the value is worthwhile after all discussions. I see some in AU58 and MS63 that were anacs graded.
For one collector to have 3 makes me suspicious of it's rarity. I'm guessing there are more out there which will lower it's value in the short run. I would hold onto it until it has some age to it and there are fewer on the market. Your coin is rather scratched and hasn't got what it takes to be a high dollar coin except the DDO's. Even the Low/High Leaf Wisconsin quarter took a while, after the initial discoveries, to increase it's value. To answer your question...I will say "No" - at this time. I think you'll be disappointed.
The discovery coin did not sell for $50k. This variety was first reported here on CCF and they subsequently had it slabbed. I asked them directly about the ebay listing and, according to them, someone made an offer but there was a mistake by ebay and he cancelled it. There was no sale. He also told me he also contacted Blue Ridge to say it was not a legit sale, but I'm not sure what efforts Blue Ridge made to correct the record or if he did anything at all.
The initial discoverer did find multiple of these, if that says anything about rarity. They even gifted me one.
And about grading, I would only do ANACS if you are planning on grading it. Neither NGC or PCGS will label it as this specific doubled die as it is not yet a variety they recognize.
Thanks @Tanman for the added info, very interesting. I do see that the initial coin was labeled discovery coin only (not ddo-001 also) by NGC while the others by anacs do say ddo-001. Is yours one of the anacs graded AU58 or MS63 ones or did he give you a different one? https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/5899173-001/65/
I saw the variety first when mentioned in the June 2020 Coin World Magazine and the video below is all BlueRidge had covered initially by the way- even mentioned other sales of $30-50 while looking at the $50,000 sale somewhat to see if it was legit or not and ended with 'assumed sale' at the time. At least its a real DDO and its just the sale value in question. I guess we would have to use worthpoint ebay sales below etc or auctions possibly if you wish to keep tabs on it beyond the $30-50 estimate so far.
Maybe "crack die" is busy or didn't understand why our folks were analyzing the coin so that he/she would understand how to come to a conclusion. He/She was looking for a "Yes" or "No" answer, which the CCF forum rarely does for a big decision such as Professional Grading or not. We're an analytical group. I think that "crackdie" will return. It's a workday for many members.
1. The NGC Price guide for the coin you point to is $7.50. It's not a DDO discovery coin. https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/5899173-001/65/ 2. ebay BIN - you can list for $50,000 but if you accept a BO for $10... NGC picks up the wrong data. 3. You know what the qualifications are for creating a YouTube channel, right? A pulse.

A lot of confusion here. a) "grade" is used loosely. No need for a semantics lesson btw "attribution" and "grade". Why assume lack of knowledge? C'mon. b) NONE of the DDO's have sold, or are selling, on ebay, since the discovery in 2021, for whatever the coin sold for. It IS listed in PCGS as a $50k sale, that sold "for best offer". You people have taken FALSE information and ran with it. No for sale or have sold. So saying its worth some fictitious amount based on erroneous ebay data is JUST as bad as believing mine would be worth the "Discovery" coin value, whatever that is. WHY, WHY do you people get SO UPSET over a hobby? You want to strike down every little thing to belittle and demean someone. Even if it means taking things out of context and running with false information. $50k = ridiculous (ok, just going with the FACTS and data availble). Currently selling for $80 or less = FALSE, fake data. Two opposites of the spectrum but you people jump all over the high number and run with the low number. I can only solidify my opinion that it is greed and jealousy. Just try what I do: a) READ the original post, B) give the information you KNOW to be valid and don't go off rumor, C) Do not assume the OP knows less than you: offer advice something like this, "you can get it "attributed" but "grading" might cost more than its worth...but we know less than you about the coin, so your call".
And you need to stop being so rude and condescending to the good folks here at CCF.
It would appear that you are only looking for only looking for a big pat on the back and a "great job" for the coins you are presenting here. Jealous of you and your quarter here? NOT even close .. I could care less if you found a million dollar coin. All you want is some affirmations and justified on getting a coin graded. We are not all yes, or no people here. We look at coins and make our own judgment call on it AS WE see it. However, if it will make you happy here it is WOW-oh-WOW-oh-WOW!!! that is an astounding coin you have. YES definately get it graded and then go retire on the proceeds you get from the sale of it.
