  Way to go Eric!
  
  You're really getting the hang of this cherrypicking thing.

  When in doubt, don't.

  Very cool! Cost how much? $0.05?

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  these are still out there and can be found with some diligent searching. i've found two thus far, the first cost $1 and graded AU58, the second a bit more only because it was in a Club Auction and i told the other grading committee members what it was, thinking that was the proper thing to do and the fairest for the consigner. i ended up being pushed by one other collector and paid $60, but the coin graded as a solid MS65 with four complete steps and the fifth/sixth bridged at pillar four. i also once saw an old green holdered PCGS MS65 that was undesignated----the dealer knew what it was so a cherrypick wasn't possible.
  
  keep looking, they're out there. nice pickup!!!

  Great find! And IMO the toughest one to find of the three 1945-P DDR's. Congratulations!

  Suh-wheat!
  
  What do you think the 72 T2 will grade?

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  Great find. Congrats.
  
  I have found two of these coins. The first is a circulated specimen that was in a bulk group of silver war nickles I had collected as a kid. The second is a very nice MS piece that was in a Whitman Album of MS 1938-1964 Jeffersons that I bought about one year ago for about $100.00. The 45P DDR nickel in the album is worth more than twice what I paid for the album; and the other coins in the album are also very nice MS toners.
