6000 Pennies, and I finaly found a 95 DDO!

However the dang edge is scraped away a little!




Sorry, but this is as close I can get with my scanner! I might try the 'ol DSLR but you get the idea...

Nice find! Found my only 1995 DDO a few months back. Congrats!

 

Wow! Congrats!

 

Only 6000.. Man you need to buy a lottery ticket. I have been through probably 600,000 and haven't found one. Nice find..

 

I was gonna say... 6,000 is a small amount of coins to go through for a good find like that.

 

Congrats, thats a great find...

 

Wow I didn't think I was that lucky? 6K to me seemed like a huge amount without an error? I guess I did get lucky!
Funny I almost missed it! When I first looked at it, it looked flat or otherwise just not right? Pulled out the 10x and I knew I hit pay dirt!

Do you guys thank the scrape on the rim was caused by the DDO? or just PMD? I know I getting picky but dang it, if the scrape wasn't on the rim???

BTW: you can't really make it out on the photo, but 'In God We Trust' is doubled as well. The date however is perfectly stamped.
Might run out tomorrow and get a full box!!!!!!! I have that funny feeling I'm going to hit a wide AM, and a double ear! --- if these aging eye survive! 40 years with 20/20 and I can see (pun) killing them in the next couple months, cause I got the bug!!!

 

I do not know what this is worth. But you right want to get it conserved before slabbing.

 

I was just going to put it in one of the blank slots in my Lincoln Dansco. I should get a small cent blank page cause I got that feeling LOL

 

What does DDO stand for?

 

To Adam, ddo means double die obverse

 

That unfortunate scrape is PMD. Thats a shame on an otherwise nice coin. Probably not worth getting slabbed but still a good one for the collection. Nice find!:yes:

 

:
Minor correction.

 

I looked through just under 125,000 and never found one. You're a lucky man, whatever the condition may be

 

Thanks Richarrb

 

I will sell you one Jim

 

my cherrypickers guide lists the value at $25 in au... so yours maybe $10?

 

I know they can be found around me, I live about 20 minutes from where the first one was discovered. I only pull the ones that stick out for a double check, as I can't bother to look for it given the volume of cents I like to go through when I do them.

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks Folks, but this DDO had me going back to the bank to pick up a box! Didn't even have to ask because I was standing there with about 35 bucks worth of zinc to give back! Went ahead and picked up a roll of Abe dollars for giggles while I was there!
Boy wheatie populations sucks any more! Maybe 1 per roll?

BTW: Real easy to overlook that 95! At first glance it looks just smushed.
