i have 6 1972 ddo's. i was told there are 13 different variety types. i messaged mr daughtery from the copper coins site asking if he was able to do variety types and this is what he responded. "I can attribute anything except errors, and a die crack is a die crack - not a variety. The majority of what I do attribute centers on mintmark doubling and design doubling (doubled dies)." i don't get the lingo. does this boil down to a yes or a no? i don't want to message a 3rd time and look comppletly dumb
actually i was hoping to have a professional look at them. i have a couple ccw spread and i saw there are i believe 3 varieties ccw. one around 20, 1 around i think 150-200 and one more. i am a newb. :-(
