<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 2221830, member: 19094&quot;]Hmm, maybe you didn&#039;t get me after all on the most expensive one. I found this on doubleddie.com in the Wexler&#039;s Die Variety page for 1972 DDO&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like the variety I initially linked to had one sell for $9600 in 2012. So this would be the most expensive after all it appears. Granted this was a higher graded coin (MS67RD) than the DDO-004 (AU58, also sold in 2012), but I haven&#039;t found anything that has sold for more than $9600.</p><p><br /></p><p>That aside, there is still no mention (even on Wexler&#039;s page) about the DDO-004 or the DDO-001 for that matter (since it is the most expensive one) being anything but doubled dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, there is another from the Heritage auction in March of 2014 that sold for $12,950. This was also MS67RD.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://doubleddie.com/img/content/384301_384305.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://doubleddie.com/img/content/384301_827197.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>1972 1¢ WDDO-001&nbsp; &quot;Best Of&quot; Variety</i></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Description:</b>&nbsp; An extremely strong Class I CW spread shows on the letters of LIBERTY, IGWT, the front of the bust, and the date.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Die Markers:&nbsp; Obverse:</b>&nbsp; Short, parallel die scratches extend NNE from the rim to the left of the upper L in LIBERTY.&nbsp; Several short die scratches extend ESE from the rim above the N of IN.&nbsp; A short die scratch extends ESE from the rim above the O of GOD.&nbsp; A short die gouge runs SW from the base of the bust to the left of the designer’s initials. <b>Reverse:</b>&nbsp; A die scratch runs SW to NE between the lower I and T of UNITED.&nbsp; A die gouge protrudes from the rim above the D in UNITED.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Submitted By: </b>Joseph Koelling</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Cross References:</b>&nbsp; CONECA: 1-O-I, Cherrypickers’ Guide: FS 01-1972-101 (033.3), Breen:#2265, Crawford:CDDO-001, Coppercoins: 1972P-1DO-001</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Values:</b>&nbsp; AU50 = $400,&nbsp; AU58 = $450,&nbsp; MS60 = $475,&nbsp; MS63 = $500,&nbsp; MS65RD = $900,&nbsp; MS67RD = $9,600</p><p><br /></p><p>The value for the MS67RD grade was determined by the actual final sale price for a PCGS MS67RD specimen that sold in an Ebay auction on March 25, 2012.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
