<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Double Die, post: 3377047, member: 91857&quot;]I enjoy going through all coins I come across whether loose change or sets looking for errors and the like.&nbsp; I have found more than my fair share of varieties and errors and have posted many of them on here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From time to time however, once I&#039;ve found a candidate to attribute, narrowing down the specific variety is more of a challenge than finding the coin itself.&nbsp; For instance I recently found a 1963 proof Jefferson that I wanted to look up on Brian&#039;s and VV.&nbsp; When I clicked on that year, I found over 60 varieties alone for the DDR I was looking for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Not being a quitter, I trudged through each one trying to narrow down which ones were the likeliest matches from the pics and descriptions.&nbsp; After I had about 6 pegged as possibilities, I went back through all the descriptions and die markers looking for a winner.&nbsp; What made this more of a challenge is the mint for this year used a cellophane that is somewhat opaque with lines in it that made finding the markers even harder (I didn&#039;t want to crack it out of the set just yet).</p><p><br /></p><p>I finally found the winner WDDR-014/WWDO-010 and after all the time spent searching and eye strain asked myself if it was worth all the trouble?&nbsp; We all (well most of us) know the answer... YES it was.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s the longest or hardest attribution you&#039;ve done on your own?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
