    Oh, it's a DDO, alright. Again, can't make out which one, on coppercoins.com. You'd think they'd have more pictures, there, if they had actually seen these things. :confused: Anyway, need some help identifying this one, too. Thanks.

    Thanks, guys! This is my very first DDO ever from circulation. :)

    BTW, I also figured out how to access those additional pictures on coppercoins.com. Just never knew those were there. Now they're talking! :thumb:

    Nice find, it sure feels good when you find one like that when searching. Also glad you found the info on coppercoins, it is a great site and I use it often to check lincolns that i find in roll searching.

    The prices for the "other" 1972 DDO are escalating, and just a few minutes ago one of my watched die #8, PCGS MS64 went for $294 with 10 bidders. I wasn't bidding, just watching.

    Thanks you guys. Jim, well then the next one I find will just have to be in 64, that's all there is to it. ;)

    Hey Jim,

    Do you have any information on the POP for the 1995-P DDO #2? They are extremely scarce and I was hedging on whether to put mine on eBay or not!


    Thanks...Frank

    No, I dont Frank. To be honest, I haven't looked for one. I think ebay completed auction searches gives a good idea. It seems that many would like to have one, but the sellers often don't really know if its a 2,3???, so raw ones are much less expensive if the buyer can tell which it is. 2,3,and 8 occur most often after 1 of course. I see more 8s than 2s.

    Jim,

    Are you referring to the 1972-P DDO #2?? I was asking about the 1995-P "DDO #2" Lincoln Cent! As far as I know, there are only two DDO Varities for the 1995-P, the Die #1 and the Die #2. I have checked eBay and have never seen any of these in the Current Auctions or Completed Auctions.

    :p DUh, sorry, I just continued on!

    No, I haven't either. The only photo I have seen is on coppercoins.com and it looks very hard to detect casually ! I am still looking for my 1995-D (3-0-V).:rolleyes:

    Jim,

    Thanks anyways! I kind of figured that with so few of them available, obtaining a POP would be tough. I do believe that the values on the Coppercoins website are way too low for this Variety which is probably 1,000 times more rare than the 1995-P DDO #1! I just wonder if it would be worth getting it certified and graded??!!

    Frank, approximately what grade is it? I think personally I would wait a while, but I would just be guessing. Even though it is much rarer, visual impact seems to have a lot to determine the values of a particular variety. Have any extra 1995-D DDO? :smile
