Just wondering what everyone thought on this subject? If so which variation would you say would be the most desirable.
they seem pretty common online, with, for example, the 6 fingers on Lincoln's hand on the reverse, die cracks, "double dies", etc. i wouldn't invest, if i were anybody.
I picked up a few of the LP2 WDDR-001's. Time will tell how many are out there and if any are in demand.
The LP2 WDDR 006- skeleton finger is the one variety other posters on other sites, select as a possibility for potential growth, as it is deemed the most popular of the 100 or so varities.
Sorry, I picked up the LP2 WDDR-001's, not LP3's. I corrected the post. I have some LP2 WDDR-006's, but I like the WDDR-001's best - personal preference.
gotcha, I picked up the LP2 WDDR-001's. 2 for 15 bucks. Figured what the heck, they are fun too look at. =) Edit: Ive been looking at them under 10x magnification and I think I see doubling in United States of America and the E Pluribus Unum, I take it this is normal?
If you're happy with them, then I think the investment paid off. If nothing else you have a few coins you obviously like to own, and best case, if they increase in value someday you can sell them and it's paid off double. Guy~
NO modern coin which is produced by the millions is worth "investing" in as at any point in time, the populations could skyrocket since fewer than 1% of the total production is ever actually examined by collectors. Statistically, each of the DDR LP2 coin dies "could" have produced as many as a million coins which means there "could" be a million copies. The only variant here would be if someone at the US Mint spotted the doubling and trashed the batch. It is totally possible that some of the varieties are few in numbers but only time will tell and time< as far as investing purposes, is not measured in less than two years. I would strongly advise those folks that are considering "investing" in these to forget about it and instead collect as many of your "favorite" as you feel comfortable with. My experience in this arena shows that once the general public (collectors) lose interest, it's nearly impossible to regain that interest and once interest is lost, it could be more expensive selling these than they are actually worth. This is simply my opinion based upon experience with other modern coins of this nature as "rarity" and "value" have little meaning if nobody really wants what you have. Collect what makes you happy........................invest in stocks and bonds or some other proven investment media.
