Message:: [QUOTE="coinage 10, post: 206317, member: 6399"]libertyseated, Please accept my personal thanks for supplying your photo or image. It is certainly indicative of that type of error that has fooled me more than once. Often, I would set a coin aside, only to finally realize that it was not what I was after. Your coin (though proof and more definite) is a great example. Rarer still is a response to something I requested! Regards the two coins: although I profess to have some doubt about the first coin, it is on an inverted basis that I presented the second: both by contrast or similarity, one should be compared to the other, and this was my intention…I await a verdict for the so inclined…. That verdict has very astutely been rendered, by good ole Larry (atrox001), and it is absolutely correct. The image provided (if memory serves) is of a DDO-001 taken from an article about a ’69-S DDO discovered by an unemployed lady who resided in Oregon (1995). She was a coin collector, and didn’t rely on luck. She took her previous experience and knowledge – remembering there is a rare and valuable coin (1969-S DDO) – and used it in her examination of circulated coins. I believe she sold the coin for $3,000.00, setting up the deal from a neighbors phone (she didn’t have one). If I had provided the entire coin, it would have been obvious. Although the two coins have “inverted qualities”, my intent was to try to understand the more subtle differences. Yes Larry, I already noticed your previous post on the Kennedy half dollar. It is only because I possess so many Lincoln Cents (about 650 Lbs. worth) that I am particular in that regard. Your mention of the serifs should prove helpful. How goes it with herps? By the way, I have a really nice ’63-D DDO Franklin half (MS-60 or 63). Any idea what its worth (I haven’t checked)?  You both have - my sincere thanks, A.J. [/QUOTE]
