1969 S DDO Lincoln

Is this the ultimate key date for lincolns? Photo courtesy of coinlink.com.

haven't seen any of these for sale at all, not that I could afford them. The redbook doesn't even list a value for it, and the PCGS prices are absurd.
How many of these are in existance?

Less than 20 I believe


A cointalker owns one. :secret:

 

PCGS has certified 20, but says that the mintage is 15. Go figure!

FYI, Heritage last sold an AU58 for $45,000 and also sold a 64 RD for $126,500.

 

A real dream coin....... I'll concentrate on the 95 DDO and the 72 for now.

 

goodnight folks...I'm beat.

 

I just got a 95 DDO. That is my first and will probably be my only DD. I took a chance on NTC again. They called it a 69 RD. I should be so lucky, but hopefully they are not too far off.

 

Got a Pic? I'd like to see it. Thanks!!!

 

energy drinks....don't drink them on worknights:rolling:

I up and going to outpost Rueben tonight, lol

Just kidding

 

Not good enough to show much. This is all he showed except a slab so small I had trouble reading the grade. It was enough I could verify that it was a DDO and it only cost $50.

 

Better get going. Ruben is already ahead of you.

 

Arrrg Harry... quit adding stuff to my 100% completion goal...
That's a hefty price for that coin IMO

 

I WANT ONE, i will buy one as soon as i get a good op..

 

I heard a story a few weeks ago, a guy finds this same coin in his pocket change from a local grocery store. What are the odds, he looks at it and determines it is in fact a 69 S DDO. So, he takes it to this coin dealer here in Lancaster (Steinmetz if I remember right) and is promptly offered $25,000 for it. A dream find indeed!

Lucky duck...

 

makes you want to roll search. Nice avatar you got there.

 

Say a prayer for me, my mom called me today and said she came across a roll of 1969 S Mintmark Pennies still in the original fed wrapping today when she was going thru her great aunt's stuff- shes sending me the roll... said they look almost brand spankin' new. That will be fun to go thru.

 

sweet. I never really knew it was that rare.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck!!!!
