I just bought this double die cent yesterday from Mintproducts.com. This is my only double die coin so far. Any opinions on value and did I get a good deal?

Any input would help!! Thanks.

Great looking coin. You had me worried for a minute when you said you bought a 'double die', then I saw it was a 'doubled die'. No such a thing as 'double die'.

Hey Jello, I am almost certain that this is a mistype MS97RD, as we all make them. I only wanted to say something because of the amount of members who may be new and see it and wonder what a MS97RD coin may be.. I know you ment MS67RD.
Again, I am not trying to pick on anything you said here, as I know what you ment, just worried about some kid who dosn't have a clue

I purchased one of these raw in 1995 from a dealer for $35. He had an entire roll of them. I wonder how well it has done over the years. I would grade it as high-end 66 or 67 at best. Anyone know prices on raw examples?

at the time it was a fair price. I would hope that it has appreciated some over the intervening years. Do you know what the raw ones go for now, Frank?

nah, you only lose money if you sell.

The problem is that there are far more than anyone ever realized.

heck, anyone know what an NGC 68 is worth?
I just realized that I probably took a bath.


Also a 67 Red in PCGS?

also, you have to get those prices.

About a year ago the MS-68 were going for $135 (ANACS)-$150 (NGC)-$170(PCGS).
and the MS-67 for $115 - $135- $150
and the MS-66 for $95 - $110 - $125,

I kept track from 3/08 to 6/08 for myself.

There was then a large drop off to MS-65 and below as most from a roll would grade 64-65 on average. There have been several submissions of over 100BU coins at a time, so there are/have been hoards still of these.For a collection, they are very reasonable at the MS-63 to MS-65 range, slabbed or raw. If someone was looking at these for an investment ( it would be a while), only buy the PCGS/NGC MS-68. There are very very few MS-69 (1 PCGS).

There is more supply than demand now IMO.
