[QUOTE="josh's coins, post: 1802563, member: 51487"]This thread has been made due to a high volume of members who are wondering if their coin is an error or damage. For the most part the coins I have seen on here have been damage after minting. Let's start with the infamous doubled die variety. The rarest and most expensive would be the 1969-s DDO.There are only 32 that are known to exist and there is a possibility that some fakes have been passed off as the real deal. It's extremely unikely that you will possess this coin or even see it in person unless you happen to be at a high stakes coin auction and if you buy it for 100,000+ USD then you might own it. One does not simply find this coin in change by luck. DDO variants in general can be noticed by looking at the dates and e pubirus Unum on the coin. Next I tackle the vam variants most commonly found in morgan silver dollars. Some vams in bu condition will bring a high premium. Such vams are usually ony noticed under magnification and it is recommended that you visit vamworld.com to verify that your coin matches with what they have. I will edit this later and include more stuff and pictures. Feel free to add in anything I forget.[/QUOTE]
