<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexAg, post: 3389022, member: 86167&quot;][USER=90090]@Arby[/USER] is right, it seems easier now. See my new AU coin I found just an hour ago in the picture below. But I do think he and I have a slight advantage living in areas that get coins from the Denver Mint (he in NM, me in TX). Sure, 1974 was a long time ago and you would think coins would move across the country after all this time. But not so much with halves as they aren’t really used in commerce. Yes, I do get Philly coins here but not to the same degree as Denver coins. So you guys and gals living in Philadelphia supplied areas will have a tougher time for sure.</p><p>I have found ~115 1974-D DDO in the last 1-1/2 years. I learned about this coin after joining CT, so I have this forum to thank! Likely I let a few slip though my fingers before then, lol. I like this coin because I believe it is the easiest Doubled Die to find in all of the denominations. In fact, I have never found a different Doubled Die. I do check every date on every coin. If it’s a 1974-D, it gets a closer look with my 10X loupe. When I am on a skunk streak, I stay optimistic about finding this DDO. It is a bonus coin, kind of like finding a nice condition proof. My real dilemma is trying to figure out how to monetize a portion of my stack.</p><p>The PCGS price guide (per my PCGS app) shows the following valuations:</p><p>XF 40 = $28</p><p>AU 55 = $30</p><p>AU 58 = $32</p><p>MS 60 = $34</p><p>I don’t really know if these are realistic, or if there is even much demand for this coin. But if so, they are worth more than any of my 90% silver halves I have found&nbsp; CRH.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]900288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]900289[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]900290[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
