That one bad braincell kicked in, and I almost completely overlooked a 1964 DDO cent. It's about as minor of a variety as you can get, this one I believe to be a DDO-022. I was going through some coins, carding them up to sell, and I noticed it. That's my luck - the one time I find a variety like this, it's one in the basement of the totem pole. At least I got one with true doubling. The question is - what would such a minor variety like this be worth?
Links are helpful. So you think it's this one? http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1964PDDO022.htm Other than a couple "ghosts" next to IN I don't see much of anything to ID this variety; as such I can't see it having much collector interest. Wexler shows a total of 46 DDOs for 1964 and I really doubt anybody out there is trying to get them all.
I don't collect nickels, lincolns, so I'm clueless and steer clear of these threads. Not that I don't find them interesting, I just have ZERO to add to the discussion. With regard to Morgan silver dollars, is this a seperate thing from VAMS? Or not? Are DDOs and DDRs completely different from that? Any answer is appreciated, feel free to call me a dumbass. I am definitely that outside of my small circle of faux intelligence.
In some cases the number of varieties for one DDO or DDR can be just as many as the number of VAMs for a Morgan or Peace dollar. Among the endless VAM varieties, though, include some which refer to doubling in a certain area, such as the eyelid. Discussions like these are good for you because despite "not having anything to add", you can learn a lot of new things. I've learned quite a bit myself from other threads posted by CT members old and new.
I looked at it under a magnifier (I believe it's loupe in coin-ology) under Lincoln's face, and it actually is doubled. I about thought I was seeing things until the good ole magnifier. L&C Coins has one of these from die 22 graded by ANACS as MS-65 RB listed at $30. I estimate mine to be about a 65 RD, so I would say it's about a $20 coin. Stinking Philadelphia, giving me a reason to finally credit them for something.
A good resource for valuation of modern coinage exhibiting minor die doubling is Brian's Variety Coins. $4.95
