It may be but the photo looks a little too blurry for my to tell. It could just be the words blurring in the photo making it look like that. Is there anyway you could take another photo of it, then maybe it will be easier to tell.

 

I will take another photo once I get home

 

I will make sure to look at that photo when it comes up.

Good luck, I hope it is a DDR.

 

Me too! That would give me a good excuse to get it graded and slabbed. The coin itself should be an ms63+

I'll have the pic up around 3-5pm est.

 

Too blurry to tell

 

It looks like machine doubling to me, but even if it is a DDR, what makes you think it is worth having graded?

Chris

 

Just to keep it in its current shape. Right now it's just sitting around in a plastic bag. Plus if it grades as high as I think it will, it might be worth it

 

Looking at just the NGC Census, there are 16,000+ graded, and of that number, there are 12,000+ that exceed MS63 and 7,000+ that exceed MS64.

I don't think it would be worth it. You'd be better off putting it in an airtite or a flip.

Let's see a clear closeup of "HALF DOLLAR." Good news is if you strike out on the reverse on these you can always flip it over and try your luck on the other side, lol.

 

Haha that's a good one

 

Chris, understand one thing. If he has the DDR, he can put this on the label: "1-R-I-CCW; FS-50-1942-801 (009)." Do you have any idea what investors on eBay go when they see something like that? They go, "Cool! I must have it!"

 

I know the value that can attach to a coin for some varieties, but this doesn't appear to be true doubling, and it doesn't appear to have the doubling of the FS-801.

The value of a 63/64 unattributed coin is about $60 or so. It would cost more than half that for grading, shipping & insurance. It's just not worth it.

Chris

 

If it can be verified that it is an fs801 then it's worth it for me, it its just a reg 1942 plain Jane then I'll just airtight it and call it a day

 

The FS-801 has doubling on HALF DOLLAR, and your coin doesn't.

Chris

 

Looks like I have a lot to learn

 

I see nothing in the attached photo's that says this is DDR-001 much less a DDR of any degree.

 

You'll never stop learning!

You can start by saving up for the next edition of the Cherrypickers Guide, Volumes I & II. I don't know when they will be released, so if you can't wait, the latest is the 5th Edition, Vols. I & II.

I'll have to get that asap.
