<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 1851252, member: 9474&quot;]Hey Gang, really excited here.&nbsp; Just received a few coins back from James Wiles and I have been credited with finding a new variety! It is a 1936D Arkansas Half dollar listed as DDR-001, &amp; RPM-001 D/D east.&nbsp; I need some help from all of you.&nbsp; While I am taking some photos so I can post for everyone to see, I need all those members who have a 1936D Arkansas Half to look on the reverse of their coin to see if it exhibits the same doubling and RPM.&nbsp; Obviously, the mint mark is re-punched and directly to the east.&nbsp; The doubling on the reverse can be seen with a 10x or 16x loupe on the right hand rays and very prominently in ERICA of America.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now that this coin has been identified we need to verify if this is a working hub/die doubling or a master hub/die doubling.&nbsp; This makes all the difference.&nbsp; Any die hard Ike collectors will understand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I found my 1934D Oregon Trail Tripled die half dollar, I sent it off to James Wiles as well.&nbsp; Here is what he explained to me....basically this coin is common, but it is rare.&nbsp; Huh? you are probably asking yourself.&nbsp; Well, more clearly stated, the coin had only 7,000 minted which makes this coin, for a lack of a better word &quot;rare&quot;, but a good number of these coins exhibited this tripling which makes it common.&nbsp; Remember, for these early commemoratives with these low mintages, only one or two dies may have been used.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1936D Arkansas is no different with a mintage of just over 9k.&nbsp; So I am asking all of you to help out.&nbsp; Thanks in advance.&nbsp; Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
