Looks like it matches up pretty well... black & white pics are taken from Wexlers, color are mine. Some of the faint die scratches are really hard to see but I can see that they are there, maybe rubbed off a bit but they look like they’re still faintly there to me... could I have actually found a “best of” ddo or am I fooling myself yet again?
I am not seeing any spread on the lettering on yours that shows on Wexler's examples. Die scratches can appear often and from many different dies. What I am seeing is a ridge ring that may be throwing you off and is a sign of a worn die. But wait for the others as I am only one of many voices.
Not everyone agrees with Wexler. Believe it or not. I don't bother with minor Doubled Die searching. Not of any interest to me and many other Mint Error collectors that I know.
I'm not interested in varieties. Minor Doubled Die, RPM's, Close and Wide AM's, Small or Large Dates...None of those. So I apologize for commenting on you thread. But I know enough to distinguish a true variety issue from a true none variety. I collect mint errors that don't need magnification! You search for whatever you want. It's up to you!
That's good. It may be worth it to post a picture here for folks who may do a Search on this thread in the future. The notch is the key here. Unfortunately, the ridge on the 80s coinage is quite common so by itself, not a strong indicator of what you have. Congratulations on the find!!
It’s flip worthy but take a look at Coppercoins for a value estimate. Expect about 70% of that for a slabbed specimen (its a guesstimate). What is the cost to slab? Deduct that from your guesstimate. Are you in the black? You might be better off buying some airtites instead. But it’s always your call.
The 6 in your example doesn't match the 6 in Wexler's. In order to have the same variety the markers have to be an exact match.
