Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1055775, member: 15929"]I disagree with the prices listed on that site as the 1970-D DDO is way more difficult to locate than those 1970-D DDR coins. I price my 1970-D DDO which is an AU55 at $1,000 since only 2 have made the grade at PCGS. Only 5 have been graded at ANACS. The DDR's on the other hand, can be found in Mint Sets and appear to be readily available with 11 FS-801's at PCGS and 15 FS-802's at PCGS. ANACS has 4 801's and 49 802's. As for the OP's coin. Definitely looks like machine doubling but thats one of the reasons CONECA exists. To identify and catalog these varieties. I would suggest he/she submit the coin for examination just to be sure. ( <a href="http://hermes.csd.net/~coneca/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hermes.csd.net/~coneca/" rel="nofollow">http://hermes.csd.net/~coneca/</a> ) Its slow to load but follow the links for the attribution and examination services. You can't go wrong. P.S. There are significantly many more DDO and DDR coins out there for folks to find as demonstrated by the numismedia link. Some are hugely significant while others not so much and MOST do not enjoy the publicity that the 55/55 DDO Lincoln enjoys. Given the shear number of 55/55's graded by the TPG's, you wonder why some of these Washington's don't grab much larger premiums. The answer is simple: Publicity and Popularity![/QUOTE]
