The first is a upgrade for the 1948-S in my Roosie sets. PCGS67+
The second is a hole filler in my Washie sets 1964-P PCGS66+
And last the highlight of the show for me...the 1934 DDO PCGS65

Nice. Looks like you are having a very successful show.
Nice additions Jon.... quality coins (but no stickers
) Cheers, RickO
That 1934 DDO is amazing!
The toning on that Roosie is wow, Wow, WOW!!!
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
Your 1934 DDO 25c is paired with a very strong Class VI DDR. Only around 10% of all 1934 DDO-001 25c are found with this reverse. Look at the inside of the "Os" on the reverse and note that they are partially filled in, along with the motto extending into the top of the eagle's head and the thick wreath stems above "QUARTER DOLLAR." This is characteristic of a Class VI doubled die.
That's quite a coin. It's very unusual for a US coin to have both a major DDO and a major DDR. This is one of the best, if not THE best combo of the two to be found on any US coin. I believe this pairing will be listed in the upcoming Cherrypicker's Guide as a separate variety.
Mine is only an AU58-
Note, too, that the peripheral lettering extends into the top edge of the eagle's wings.
I like the dime a lot, I wish I had seen it at the show before you did!
That is neat! I thought something looked different about the reverse, but didn't think to look it up since it was the DDO I wanted. If it's a new variety that will be a double edged sword. Great new variety and it means I will have to get another 34DDO.
Jackpot!!
All of the coins paired with this rev will be from an earlier state of the dies. The separation of the obv lettering should be very distinct on the date and LIBERTY.
Love the 1948-S Dime!
