I remember finding my first one in change from Burger King in Homestead, Florida, back in 1995. I was checking every last bit of change I got and finally got one. It was an awesome feeling. I still have that coin. I sent it to ANACS way back when. It graded MS64 RED.
Nice reminder to start going through this $500 of copper.. sitting there staring at me like the telltale heart.. clink clink.. search me.. clink, clink, clink.

Dont look too hard for a copper one. This is from 1995

It took me about 20 years to find my first one. And then I immediately found 2 more!
As info, there is a pretty significant die #2 for the same year that is many times rarer. And there is a 1995 ddo from Denver that is nearly as strong

Nice find
Successful Trades: Swampboy,
It's been a minute since we have seen an actual DDO, I almost stopped opening any thread with under 200 post count that claims to have one.
And this is a rather pronounce one that you don't need a 100× micro to see it. Rare for a modern.
But I still don't have the patients to put in the required time, kudos to who does.

Some were released in my area (Akron OH.) My son found three back in '95.
Pretty good find. Much better than most. Liberty can be seen in hand without a microscope.
Nice find, @CRH4LIFE.
That one has eluded me in the wild.
Nice find, I also enjoy looking thru loose coins for that special coin. Peace Roy
