Hi guys, stopped by my favorite Pawn Shop. Picked up this massive Doubled Die, you can actually call it a "Triple Die"! It's the 1964d Kennedy. Bought it for the silver price . Little toned as well. Never had such a dramatic DDO Kennedy before, such as this one. Whaddya guys think? Thanks :D

    Joey, your eye never ceases to amaze me. Great pick up. Especially for spot!

    I think I was wrong in my dd guess? At first I said, DD, then I said, Triple Die. But when looking closer, I really think that my coin is that beautiful Quadruple Variety? The famous QDO. ;)

    First I was going to comment that the photo wasn't taken in your car, but on second look I think it was. :D

    I am not looking it up, but it is at least TDO.

    seek out variety vista Re: a possible QDO

    What does your pawn shop sell silver for?

    I paid, 90% silver for a half dollar, $10. ;)
    I just checked Coinflation's prices. For the 90% 64 Kennedy's, $9.53c. So he charged me only 47c over spot.
    Thanks.

    In that case, it's a great deal. Having heard stories about your pawn shop, I was expecting it to sell silver for 30x or even more.

    My Pawn Shop is awesome. This is where I found the 1966 "Doubled Profile ". That cost was minute as well. Lol

    My pawnshops are rip-offs in SoCal. Hopefully when I move to southwestern Idaho they have better prices.

  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 24,547 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Is it a listed variety?

    Only to me. Lol. After all the coin shops I visited in the past years, never ever came across one. Esp. for 47c over Spot :)

    Yes, after further review. With my scope. The ones that posted the coin to be a TDO, well you guys were correct. Thanks. Still, I love the coin. Here are the detailed pics. It is the TDO, not the QDO. FS-105 TDO

    It's a worthwhile variety. Did it come out of a silver junk box? If so be sure to carefully check the rest of the '64-D half dollars therein as these tripled (and doubled) dies sometimes come in groups. Around 30 years ago I found 13 examples of the '64-D DDO-001 out of a junk box.

    Yes It did come from a junk box. There were about 15 other 1964d's. This was the BEST one. I tried to find the RPM also, no luck. Thanks for you determining the correct variety. The QDO came close though. Can you give it a approx. grade? I know about pics and all. :)

    I would grade it MS62.

    Thanks for the super photos.
    And the information.
    Cool.

    In the early 90s I bought a 64-D shotgun roll (the big long ones...$20 face).
    It was tails-tails. I paid a tiny bit over spot for it.
    Every coin was the QDO, and some were outstanding.
    I sold the crappier ones the next day at the show and the rest went to ANACS.
    If you have a nice one of these in an old small ANACS holder, there's a good chance its provenance can be traced to the Mannie Gray Central States Hoard. (lol)

    @JoeyCoins .... The TDO is a nice addition. I added mine years ago when I built a set of Kennedy halves... There are DD's as well... Have not looked at that set (raw, album) in a long time. Stopped adding to it around 2009. Cheers, RickO

  • joeykoinsjoeykoins Posts: 17,198 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Strange? According to the PCGS price Guide. The 1964d DDO, is valued higher than the TDO? Strange, no? Why??? :*

    do you take the "scope" with you into these shops or only bust it out once you're in the car?? :p

  • johnny9434johnny9434 Posts: 28,948 ✭✭✭✭✭

    it sure is nice to make a catch like that, congrats

    Never take my scope with me. Only waiting for me at home. :)

    Seems as if the DDO (die 1) is harder to find.
    Likely scarcer though my evidence would be just based on my experience and not any real data.

    Supply and demand. Unfortunately, coins aren't priced on how cool they are.

    Die # 1 is actually more impressive IMO.

    Good-natured ribbing for this kid. He's got gumption! Enthusiasm! I enjoy coin collecting more as a result of his participation! It's the youth that will make up tomorrow's class of collectors. Joey should be embraced.

  • LeeBoneLeeBone Posts: 4,545 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I got this sweet deal waaaaay back when from a local dealer of mine. Knowing him, he probably gave it to me for $2.00.
    Keep in mind, the price of silver was a lot lower back then ;)
