I am still watching the 2005 Minnesota Quarter Double Die Error on ebay and I am starting to see some with DDR#'s Is there a certain DDR# that will be worth the most? What does DDR# stand for? (Double Die ? #) Thanks in advance, Tim |

DDR = Doubled Die Reverse. As far as I know there is only one variety of this coin.some perhaps with a little more detail than others but still only one variety,, unlike the high and low leaf wisconsin on purpose coin. Rick

Thanks Rick. As of now, on ebay I see DDR#1 thru DDR#25 So in general, is it the DDR#1 that is always worth the most on any DD ? |

Tim are these coins numbered by a TPG or the seller ? I'm not particularly interested in these coins since I really believe them to be purposely altered,, but that is My own opinion,, so I have not followed the progress of them through the market place nor have I kept up on all the post discovery changes. But those numbers maybe nothing more than 1-25 coins as in someone trying to make the more money from them by numbering them . Rick |

with 11 different varieties I think the jury is still out on which will hold ,, If I had to guess I would probly go with #1 as well if I could only chose one otherwise I would try and hedge myself by collecting the set.

if I am not mistaken the 33 is the most sought after right now, maybe cladking can tell for sure because I am not 100% positive. I do know theer is a boatload of these DDR #'s that have been confirmed and that are attributed as such by ANACS as extra Tree varieties and PCGS has or is going to start as well |

sorry, that was supposed to be #3 instead of 33, guess I didn't hit shift long enough like I ususally do with my "I". After looking at them it may be 4 or 5 that I have heard was most popular. Heck like I said cladking would probably be the one to ask about this because I just dont know anymore, there is so many of them I cant keep up. Mine is DDR #1 thats all I know |

11 varieties and counting just for the Philly coins,,
Like I said the jury is still out on which if any hold future gains,, many will eventually be considered as minor variations of the original, a few will be considered true varieties,, looking at the pics If I were to buy these ,, 1,3 5 and 11 would be the ones I would put together.

yeah the ones that look like a actual tree is the ones that I think most people are after, #3 is I am not mistaken looks like actual classic doubling if I am not mistaken

The numbers just refer to the order that the varieties were found and authenticated, i.e. #1 was the first found and so on. They are not an indicator of rarity or value. Ken Potter (bigtime variety and error specialist) has been doing quite a bit of the work on these and has some info on his website http://koinpro.tripod.com/ |
