I am very happy to say that I have found my second doubled die coin searching rolls, and it happened to be a 2004-D Memorial Penny. The doubling is prevalent on "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and it looks great! It is the 2004-D 1¢ WDDR-001 "Best Of" Variety on Wexler's. Enjoy!
Nice find in nice condition!! That's a fairly valuable coin so treat it well. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=2004&die_id=2004d1dr001&die_state=mds
Oh don't worry, I put this straight into a plastic holder immediately after I found it and took pictures haha. Thanks for the CC link too, I forget about that source sometimes.
I prefer that site over the others, but the others sometimes have specimens Coppercoins does not. But I think the format and marker narratives/photos are better. So I tend to stick with them. Not a ton of D mintmark cents to put better odds of finding those DDOs/DDRs on this side of the country, but it doesn't stop me from trying!
IMO...it is AU58+...light wear on eyebrow, lapel and shoulder on obverse, details missing from memorial between EPU and the statue on the reverse. Very nice find/DDR and a very nice condition coin. Great eye appeal...I would place value @ $75 per coppercoins info provided by @Kevin Mader ...Spark
Thanks for the grade/price opinion, I was hoping someone would say something about it! I also thought somewhere in the AU area, but was not sure how high or low.
I have noticed the same phenomenon with some sources having more examples than others, but I would agree that CC goes into more depth for many coins. I tend to use Wexler's and Variety Vista as I just like their formats more, but I am definitely not opposed to using other sources! Thanks again for the info!
In the end, they are all needed @CaptainMac. I'm glad that all those folks have compiled the information for us variety hunters. It's given the hobby a boost in my opinion. I enjoy the hunt...and finding new specimens for the collection.
