Have I just been yonced on this Kennedy? Here is the description. What do the designators by ANACS mean? Here is what the seller said " CERTIFIED AND SLABBED BY THE ANA!!! AN ULTRA GEM DESIGNATED DDO-005 & DMR-7!!!!!! A TOP OF THE LINE LOW POP EXAMPLE!! TREMENDOUS EYE APPEAL!! AN ULTRA RARE EXAMPLE!!! I think all is well but what do they mean?
It means that there is a double die on the coin.....I would suggest before just going and buying something like this that you don't know what it is that you either ask here or you serach it out. It is NOT slabbed by the ANA....they have no part in ANACS. Speedy
Speedy, I went to the ANACS web site but could not find the definition of DDO-005 & DMR-7. Where can I find what they mean? Thanks,
I googled "yonced" and only got 5 hits, so it doesn't seem to be a very popular word. 4 of the hits were not helpful in determining the meaning of the word "yonced." I did find this definition though: "Yonce (n. "YONTZ") A stupid person. (v.)(1) To be hurt or get something messed up. EX.: "He got yonced in the head. (v.)(2) To do something stupid. EX.: "You yonced off." -cini (n. "yon-SEE-ne") The plural of yonce. Only a yonce thinks the plural of yonce is "yonces." -cianna (adj. "yon-see-AN-na") Collective term for the stupid things a yonce does. -meister Deluxe (Pn. "YONTZ-my-stir de-LUX") The ultimate yonce. ORIGIN: Ken Deutsch. " That definition is from this page: http://tinyurl.com/fj2d3
SeatedLibLover, A fellow by the name of Maurice Flanagan entered the word into my vocabulary years ago, this may be the first time I used it. I like the story on copper cents I remember telling my postmaster about that some years ago. He was in disbelief and had to weigh different dates to see the difference. I went to the error links provided and still question the designations DDO-005 & DMR-7? I believe the DDO is double die obverse but the other and the numbers escaped me. Thanks,
I found this list of abbreviations on a coin forum I sometimes visit. Both DDO and DMR are on it. Check it out... http://www.cointalk.org/showpost.php?p=10277&postcount=1 By the way, I wasn't goofing on you for using the word yonced, linguistics, specifically slang, is another hobby of mine. That's why I searched for it, lol.
I believe it is a list of combinations that dies can be found in on a given coin. You have an obverse and reverse die, and each denomination may have several dies for each distinct from one another. The registry will show you a list of variations, with a number assigned to each possible combo. Some are rarer than others. That is what the number after DMR designates, which combination it is. This is something I remember reading in a coin book somewhere, and I could be wrong.
