<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miedbe7, post: 2061153, member: 33919&quot;]What Rick is showing you is his first reported, discovery specimen of a variety of coins known as doubled dies, or in his specific case, Class II Tripled Die Obverse (TDO).&nbsp; The IkeGroup has their selected varieties, including doubled dies, and are known as DIVAs.&nbsp; Think of them as the Cherrypicker&#039;s Guide to Ikes.&nbsp; Actually, some DIVAs are in the newest CPG (the FEV for example).&nbsp; What is shown in the above is from Ike Dollar Doubled Die, or IDDD, and is a site which documents almost every major/minor/obscure varieties of Ikes&#039; doubled dies.&nbsp; PCGS as a grading company will only attribute varieties found in the Red Book and CPG to my knowledge and ANACS will attribute basically anything.&nbsp; Hope this helps!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS-You can get good close-up photos with a smart phone and a macro attachment which sells on ebay for about $10 or you can buy a USB scope (overkill imo unless you want to look for these varieties yourself) for about $20 and it zooms to ~200x if memory serves.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t used mine in a while to be honest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
