"Should I have this slabbed?" "Is this the one?" "Does this look like a....?" YES. It's a lot easier to type. You don't want to injure your fingers early in the morning before you get warmed up.
As you can see from the genuine example posted, the VERY RARE 1969-S DDO shows EXTREME doubling in the lettering and date. It is so extreme you can see it with the naked eye. If your lettering does not show extreme doubling, it's not the one. It's really that simple.
Hi Erik, they are correct above, but I wanted to give some more tips. The coin has been slightly circulated, and the coins the mint produced in the 60's were sent to the banks or 3rd party rollers in bags of 5000, who then re-rolled them. If ALL coins in a roll are the same date and appearance, then it could be an uncirculated roll, but usually not. This is a common false assumption many make. Also, coins have to have all of the specific markers to be an example, not just 'close' and if you read many of the similar 'discovery' threads here, you will see the chances of finding such horrendously high. It takes time to learn the art, but it is fun and interesting. Jim
You seriously think these are the same?? Look at the loupes in the B. In the DDO there are 5. In yours there are only 2.
Guys, let it go, we gave our best estimation and if someone wants further evaluation ( for money) that is OK, its not you who have to pay. There will be another coming soon. Jim
MODS.!! Is this two different accounts for the same IP address??! Waste of time. I never getting back the 3 seconds it took to type this!!
It's not it because it doesn't look like it, there aren't many its, and it isn't the same as it. You need to do some research and apply it as we all did, that's it You'll find attention to detail in the coin game is absolutely necessary to not get ripped off or misidentify things as you're doing now. Good luck.
