The seller doesn't have it listed as a DDO. So my question would be, is 43 dollars to much to pay . Here's the link to this DDO . http://varietyvista.com/10 Walking Liberty Halves/1942PDDO003.htm
I pickup a DDO-001 for 17 bucks, I think this one will grade 63, I think plastic is blocking the feathers on the eagle .
Are you looking for that specific DDO Rick? As you said just above, the FS-101 can be found fairly easily. Here is one I picked on eBay for $13.50 with free shipping back at the beginning of the month.
It depends on what you are collecting. The Cherrypickers' tend to have a higher premium and more demand. But if the doubled die is nice, I'll buy it whether or not it's in the Cherrypickers' Guide or not. Here's an example of a 1945-S Washington Quarter DDO that is not listed in CPG, yet the doubling is pretty nice. Bill Fivaz has told me he may list it in the next edition. So you never know. The nice thing about unlisted varieties is they are typically pretty cheap to buy.
I totally agree with that, I think 3 has more doubling then 1 and it's all about future cherry-pickers coins to me . I also think the coin in this thread, is over priced too ...
I would agree with you on that one. A nice 1942 can be found in the $30 - $35 range with a little looking. The two DDR FS-801's I've picked up were both less than $40.00 and are in the MS-64 range.
