<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2970125, member: 1765"]The popularity of cents and number of dies produced led to the numbers you see. The major DDO that I don't see in your list is the 1976-D quarter, which has a really nice spread on LIBERTY, and is much more impressive visually than the 1971 DDO. Being a quarter rather than a cent is probably why it didn't end up in the Red Book. The contents of the Red Book can also be influenced by collectors, and if the cent DDO collectors are more numerous and/or influential than the quarter DDO collectors, the cents will be given more attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] 's comment about the size of the die magnifying small rotations on nickels, quarters, and halves is valid for Class I doubling (rotated hub) on the biggies like the 69-S and 72, but for Class IV doubling (offset hub) like on the 1983 cent reverse, this wouldn't be the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
