That's 1-R-V. Sorry.
I've owned an example of DDR-001/PR 1-O-V. The spread on "QUARTER DOLLAR" is very evident. I'm afraid I agree with a few others here that the coin...
And yet, with these high accuracy numbers, you still need "stickers" to grade the grading companies.
The opposite happened with matte proof 1c and 5c dies. As the die struck more coins they tended to get "shinier." The best EDS matte proofs are so...
Machine doubling.
All of these monikers are way overstated, tho I do like the Red Book designation. All this stuff is just another way of squeezing an extra buck...
Pretty coin! What a great design the Flying Eagle is! Too bad they replaced it with the Indian Head.

For circulated coins I find the best to be an oldie but a goodie-"Photograde" by James Ruddy first published in 1970. It's somewhat stricter than...
Check the word "Monticello" on the reverse. If it's clearly doubled you have a goodie.
Try Brazilian coinage-there's some monster stuff in all denominations in the current and previous series.
Yes. And I agree with your assessment of the Sac dollar-best circulation coin design in a long, long time.
I have the feeling that these insane prices are being set by the sellers, many of whom are migrating to GC from ebay and other places. I've seen...
The coin you mention is at a working hub variety-found from more than one Mint and more than one die so it is common and won't be attributed by...
I completed a few "color" coin sets-i.e. coins with attractive toning. First, I finished my 20th century color type set and also a date set of...
Separate names with a comma.
