I haven't shared any recent purchases for a while...this is a 1995 DDO cent graded MS67 RD by NGC. I paid $35 and think that was really fair. Here it is:
Excellent price considering the slap in the face to the original submitter who paid that much to have it slabbed. Nice, I like it very much.
Nice buy! I remember when they were first discovered. I searched forever and never found one. I finally purched 2 NGC attributed examples for about $50.00 each.
Somebody posted a DDO thread and its actually a DDO. Nice! That looks like some strong doubling - very attractive!
Just was looking at the photos again and I saw the black spot to the right of the coin in both of the last pics. Must be on my camera lens...hmm..
This one cost me around $5. I actually felt bad. It got sold by a CT member (can’t remember who) and just didn’t get any bids. Somehow I was the only one or only one of two to bid.
No, this was listed in a for sale ad, that linked it to an eBay auction. Sorry, I should’ve been more clear.
Anyone who wants to see detailed closeups should check out Variety Vista: http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1995PDDO001.htm These are apparently more common than I realized - NGC has graded almost 19,000 of them. Wow.
I’ve actually found one coin roll hunting and I know I’ve overlooked quite a few with the millions of cents I’ve gone through.
I bought two $50 bags when these were discovered. I searched almost one bag and quit. Still using the second bag as a doorstop. I'm going to search it one of these days.
