Until recently, NCS also slabbed them and now with PCGS and NGC slabbing problem coins, I assume they will slab them as GENUINE or DETAILS. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/06/2009 3:07 pm The two big varieties, 1916 DDO and 1918/7-D DDO, sell for $100-200 with restored dates so those would be an obvious choice for encapsulation. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 10/06/2009 3:48 pm Thanks for the info. It's an 18/7-D. Other than the 16 DDO or perhaps the 3-legged, I don't think it would be worth it to do so. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 10/11/2009 10:19 pm The 1918/7-D would be the only one you would want to restore. The 1916 DDO and 1917-D 3-Legged are easily seen without the date and putting acid on the date, whether it is to enhance or totally restore the date would make the coin less valuable. So if you do spot one of those two without the date, send it in without using acid, and the value will be considerably more. Report this Post to the Staff
