I keep watching for a nice one in a high grade but from the looks of prices I'll have to settle for a lower grade one.

RickieB They are very popular right now it seems. I would be suprised to see one under $1000. I am waiting for the right opportunity to buy one in a grade i can afford.   10-09-2007, 09:49 PM   #8 (permalink) sumorada Senior Member     Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 211 nice find, congrats........................   10-10-2007, 09:40 AM   #9 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,669 Quote: Originally Posted by tommypski I saw one on ebay that could turn into a good deal.

Funny, I wrote to Coin World a while ago about a 'different' DDR for the 1939 and I was told that it was strike doubling-- but I know strike doubling. Apparently this is now accepted. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   10-10-2007, 05:05 PM   #10 (permalink) tommypski Coinaholic     Join Date: May 2007 Location: Rochester NY Posts: 323 Quote: Originally Posted by Treashunt That is a ddr #2?

Apparently this is now accepted. I have been searching around for any info on " #2" , have not found anything yet. Let me know if you find any info on that variety, or if anyon else knows about it.   10-09-2007, 10:00 PM   #11 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,591 My Mood: Quote: I saw one on ebay that could turn into a good deal.

I can only hope to get one from each Die pair so I could get good close up pic.!

I have found three to date, however, they were cherrypicked from dealers' stocks. VG-8 is about $24 currently, or the last time that I looked. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208 Last edited by Treashunt; 10-19-2007 at 09:06 AM.   10-11-2007, 09:06 AM   #13 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,669 I wish that I could tell ya something.
