Nice 64!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes "ll post some pics. There have been some great deals on ebay recently. I've missed out on a few. Paid $208 with shipping for the MS 65 72 DDO.

 

Thinking this is die #2 the doubling isn't as pronounced.

A lot nicer than mine harryj. I have one just like that but it's about EF.

 

Thanks! Looking for maybe a 1983 DDR next.

Nice coin! I got mine back a few years ago when they were afforable. Who knew they would go up so much?

 

Just found these 11 beauties.

 

Very nice, bob. Those are fun coins.

 

I wish I could do the luster they have some justice with my camera....

 

Copper price guide is very low and not what one should get for a coin like your

Were were they found in change or rolls???

 

They were found wrapped in tissue in a Altoid container at my late Dad's house over the weekend. I inherited his coin collection and we didn't know these existed. They have tons of luster and are just gorgeous! I love the higher relief strikes of the 60s and earlier!!!!

 

They were probably removed from a proof set and and sold indivually. Sometimes you find a doubled die in the batch and decide to break down the set an save that one coin. The left overs are either traded or sold. I have some years that I've bought a whole of them to search for doubled dies. I agree that the 60's proof Cents are the nicest looking coins. I don't really like the frosted coins for searching. The etching makes it harder to see doubled dies in.

 

I just happen to have, ready for this?, a large Crown Royal bottle with wheaties dated 1910-1938 and another one with 1940-1959. Am in the process of doing up an album as well as a Whitman for the grandkids and these are all extras. contact me here or email me; bomber464@hotmail.com

 

beautiful coins & great pics

 

If I was up to the task, I'd go take some pics of my favorite wheats. I think I will later, I'm just in bed because I got all my wisdom teeth out yesterday!
