<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1151805, member: 29239&quot;]Don&#039;t take anything to heart that all of us tell you on here and go by your own gut feelings. You have the coin in hand and all we are looking at is your photos. There have been many a valuable coin ruined by cleaning it or taken back to the bank because of bad opinions . Sometimes ones own opinion can really hurt so it is best to wait until totally sure befrore pulling the trigger. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know a few of you non believers that still don&#039;t know me very good will say I&#039;m lying but I will tell you the truth about what happened to me a long time ago that really learned me a lesson the hard way. This was back in 1984 before I even had a computer , I had near a quarter to&nbsp; half a million dollars worth of the awesome 1983 DDR #1 doubled die cent coins and believe it or not I kept them in a old shoe box for about 6 months . One day I said to heck with it these coins are just machine doubled and took them to a local bank and give them away. I got the coins by stopping at a bank in Virginia and got 40 rolls of cents to look thru when I got home. I didn&#039;t want new coins but this is what the bank teller gave me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>every roll had twice more of the doubled dies than the normal coins so I&#039;m sure that I had at least 1200 of them. The big&nbsp; shoe box was filled up at least two inches deep with them. I found out a year later what I had done and I have wore my local banks out and never did find one , I did find some other awesome coins that are in my collection .</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since then I have been lucky enough to discover more great doubled gie coins such as the extra tree Minnesota and Oregon&nbsp; quarters and this time I knew to check them out better. they were found just like I found the 83 cent coins a long time ago. The rolls that did contain the DDR #1 Mn. quarters had on the average about 6 to 8 of them to the roll. this was no where near as many as the rolls of 83 DDR cents contained but I was very happy to find them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
