Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/06/2024 5:07 pm The last of my nickel pickups. It's a bit worn but still shows the doubling at "five cents". Edited by Seeker_101 11/06/2024 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/06/2024 7:05 pm Thanks. This is my first major doubled die. From what I was able to find, its worth about twice what I got it for. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5829 Posts	Posted 11/06/2024 9:10 pm Nice Find. The letters on the words FIVE CENTS solidify this is the major DDR. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 11:28 am So I've come across another one of these in about the same condition that I'll be watching. But there are 2 other nickels, maybe a touch better condition that are in the auction. They are 1936 FS-501 and 1938 FS-512. I have no clue on the value of these. Any estimates would be helpful.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 1:33 pm Not sure if you mean 1936 5c FS-801 or 1936-S/S FS-501. Based on auction results, the 1936 Philly DDR looks to be worth about $200 in XF45 in a graded, attributed slab. The 1936-S/S is less than $100 in heavily circulated condition, based on auction results for graded, attributed slabs, so you would never make back the fees on that coin. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...fs-801/38470 https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...fs-501/38474 The 1938-D/S in circulated condition is way less than $100 based on auction results, so again, no path to making the money back on that one. Although maybe the D/S is attributed without a variety attribution fee? https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...s-512/569456 Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 2:35 pm These coins are raw so carry a much lower price tag and in fine condition at best. From what I saw is there is very little value until XF or better. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 2:42 pm I don't know that is necessarily the case. I have seen several different types of doubled dies and rpm selling raw for a major portion of the graded coins. That suggests to me that some folks place no premium on formal grading for certain variety coins, to the point where the grading fees are a large net negative on the market value.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 3:08 pm @Brand: Right now they are sitting at about $10 each but auction has 2.5 hours to go and bids tend to go way up in the last 5 min. My priority is a Half Cent but it is already close to the max I'm willing to pay. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 09:50 am Curious how the auction results ended up. Were you able to pick them up?
