Found a 1934 DDO FS 013.79 today....Updates anyone??

EEE

Found a nice Red BU 1934 DDO FS 013.79 as listed in the 4th edition Cherry Picker's Guide.....
The guide states that only 3 examples had been found to date....
Any updates as how many have been found and as to its value??

Look forward to your responses....

Greg,
I wish I could help..Hopefully one of the copper specialists could chime in.

Neat find though. Was the coin that noticable that the DDO stood out? Or were you wearing out your eyes specificaly looking for varieties?

Greg,

That I know there are only the ones reported in the CPG - to date. If you found one that would be a pretty big deal.

EEE

C.D.

Thanks for the reply....

Found this one in an original roll......Strange that there was only one in the roll.......Should grade at least MS 64.....Great strike, but has slight smudge in the field behind Lincoln's head....Doubling looks exactly the same as depicted in the CPG....Very evident with a 10x loupe...

Thanks,

Greg Sarles *EEE*

anyone have any good pics of this ?

EEE

Received the coin in question back from PCGS ....

It slabbed out as PCGS MS 64 RED DDO FS 013.79....
I believe that this is the first 1934 DDO graded by PCGS...

NGC has three on record with the best two being MS 65 R/B and MS 65 Brown...

Have any of you heard of any other MS Red 1934 DDO in any condition??

Thanks in advance for you responses....

Here are some pics I have form the John Wexler book on Lincoln cents. An excellent book, btw.

EEE

Thanks for the photo's millenium...

Does Wexler mention anything about the population of this variety?

No, he doesn't Greg..It just says the same as the CPG does...only three known at this time.....I guess you make it 4!!

EEE

Excellent...

Now I wish I hadn't thrown this one in the upcoming Heritage Auction....Here is the link if you want to take a look at the actual coin:

i own this coin...it is coin # 2

congrats if you indeed have it!

EEE

Thanks Mozeppa....Wish I would have kept it now...I didn't realize the scarcity when sending it off to Heritage...

The 934 on the coin I found were not as high in relief as that in the Wexler photo.....
Must be a later die stage...How does yours look??
