Old photos... I sold this about 4 years ago before I had learned much about photography.

is that the real DDO ?

shylock · August 20, 2006 8:36AM

showmethepenneys - A larger pic of the Blay 65RD example, took me a while to find it.

for smoe reason i thought the real DDO was date only ?

<< for smoe reason i thought the real DDO was date only ? >>

The 3 big DDO's, 1955, 1958 and 1969S are all this bold.
No missing these babies.

That's probably because of the Red Book picture. People think they've found them because so many 1969-S cents have doubling on the date.

TwoSides2aCoin · August 20, 2006 9:07AM

I'm still looking in my change for it

100proof1957 · August 20, 2006 9:14AM

so the die was hubbed 3 times ?

JRocco · August 20, 2006 9:19AM

<< so the die was hubbed 3 times ? >>

No, it's only doubled

Great pictures. I agree the Red Book makes it seem that the DDO is minor.

GoldenEyeNumismatics · August 20, 2006 3:16PM

Holy COW! whats the price for those... I'd sure like to pick up a few

thats a gorgeous coin but no way a MS65

While I might agree on the technical aspect of the grade it is still the most awesome 1969-S DDO cent I have ever seen. Stewart's ability to ferret these great coins out is "gem" in my opinion.

1969-S DDO cents do usually look awful and I have never seen a nice looking one for the grade!

Better have DEEP pockets! In that kind of condition I think they are in the mid five figures. Even in lower grade most of them are probably high four or low five figures. (I believe. I don't follow these.) I think there are less than 30 pieces known.

It's a lousy image.

Great Pic WindyCity!

It looks 65 to me but the grade isn't so important on this coin I would think.

I agree on both counts. I see nothing about the coin that would preclude the MS65 grade, and who cares anyway?

I think that a 65Red would run well into 6 figures.

This cleaned and retoned one sold at ANR, I think in December, for over $30k!!

bigtonydallas · August 21, 2006 6:55AM

I'd love to cherrypick a few of these puppies!

RichieURich · August 22, 2006 9:55AM

Very, very rare coin. And the Stewart Blay coin looks fantastic! With only about 25 - 30 known, even if less than half have been discovered, the mintage had to be less than 100. In 1969, it took maybe a minute to make 100 pennies. We're still not sure why so few are known; does anyone have any good theories on this?

JRocco · August 22, 2006 10:24AM

Someday- I may own one of these---at least I hope to...

bigtonydallas · August 22, 2006 11:05PM

They may have made thousands until they discovered the problem. They destroyed the rest but about 50-200 may have been already gone thru to other bins or bags.

Second theory is that a mint worker made a couple hundred and then dumped 30-50 into bags and circulation to cover their tracks. Someone may have them in their safe deposit box waiting to leak them out or someone inherited them and does not know they are there.
