GRADE for high end gorgeous DDR variety?!? TOP POP?!?

What do you think my 1994-P DDR FS-801 (LDS) Lincoln Memorial Cent will grade?!

(Coin pics were taken inside of penny sleeve. Mark lines NOT on coin!)

Thanks!

I don't see the DDO. Looks like a 65 based on your photos.

Huh? DDR not DDO. And it's at least a MS66RD, it's not even close to my other slabbed 65's!

If you think you have a top pop just send it in and find out. If you have other examples in hand to compare to no one here is going to give you a better opinion from those pictures than what you see yourself in hand

Thanks, man. This was really great advice. She's a stunner in person and in hand. I will post when I get the coin back from PCGS! Fingers crossed!

how hard is it to take coin out of sleeve?
it is more difficult to tell what marks are on coin and what on sleeve ...

I will go with MS64 (looks like machine doubling to me)

What do I think you ask...
I think you are mistaken. The 94 ddo pick up points are in the far right columns of the memorial. The pictures you show do not focus on that area of the coin. There is a thin extra column in the open bays on actual 94 fs801
This is what a real one looks like from CoinFacts.

Not too pronounced in the Late Die State/Stage C of the 801. Plus my picture is terrible.

Take another showing this area please. I am curious how the stage C mushes out.

Yours is not the DDR Variety which PCGS attributes. Not worth wasting $30+ to find that out.

They don't mush out lol, only really noticeable in the top half of the bay just like my pic shows (with way too much flash)....

Go to http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1994PDDR001.htm to see...

Can't you tell by the other close up it's a DDR?! Lol

Aspie_Rocco

No I cannot tell. The strongest evidence is in the bottom of the bay. Not the top. The minor surface disturbance on your coin is just that. Have you ever successfully sent a coin in for attribution? I have, dozens of times and I would not a cent that you are correct.
I am not intending to be harsh, but you are mistaken. It happens. When @ilikemonsters gives an opinion I read carefully. You should too. It is a helpful gift when experienced folks weigh in.

Please let us know what happens at PCGS..... I tend to agree that it is not the DDR, but I have been mistaken before.... happens when viewing pictures. Cheers, RickO
