<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1055366, member: 11521&quot;]I guess you don&#039;t have a copy of CPG (the Cherrypicker&#039;s Guide). My copy of CPG Vol I (5th Edition) values the coin at $135 in F-12 as compared to $95 for a normal coin in the same grade. (F-12 is the lowest grade they value.) You could say the value of this DDO is 50% higher than a normal coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The FS-101 (as it is identified by ANACS) is known as FS-05-1875-101 in the CPG book. (FS stands for the two authors of CPG - Bill Fivaz and JT Stanton.) This DDO is also known as Fletcher-04.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have cherrypicked a couple of 1868 DDO Shield Nickels. The latest one is FS-05-1868-101. This DDO has very bold doubling with a wide spread. I bought this coin at a coin show. It is a VF but corroded and was priced at $50. I talked the dealer down to $25 because of the corrosion. I don&#039;t know how he missed the doubling. CPG values this DDO at triple the value of a normal coin so I made out great. I can&#039;t recall which DDO the other coin is. I should pull it out and look it up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
