Anyone else read the article in this weeks Coin World? Do you nickel guys think it is rare and how many do you think are out there based on current life of modern dies? Has anyone started looking for them yet?? Any expert insight is appreciated.

If in fact it is a DDO, then I think there will be plenty to go around such as the 1995-P DDO cents. Folks payed $200 or better when they were first discovered, but then there were more and more and more.
At the current striking rate, there will probably be tens of thousands of them, in my opinion.
on whether or not the mint caught this or the die produced a full run. Even if there
are a half million or more of these it wouldn't be surprising if the vast majority have
already escaped into circulation or will.
It's very unlikely that it will be truly rare and paying a large premium to own one early
may or may not be a good idea. Remember even today there are not large numbers of
collectors who collect varieties so it will not take a large number to satisfy current de-
mand. By the same token there are sometimes lots of people who desire these coins
early on and there is hardly a certainty that they will be common.
Time will tell.

If you want the good error, get the first 50 as the more it press the less the error,also with some of those coins that were in the photo, they look like the dies were dusty and impress dust marks
Three factors will make this one steep...it is new, it wasn't supposed to be able to happen, and it's a single year type. Once it's not new any more, that factor will wear off.

Of course, it is just my opinion. I just keep remembering today's mintage figures and the 1995 DDO cents.
Speakin' of Aussie coins, (if y'all will accept my apologies for straying slightly off topic), what do you think of the rotated Aussie 10-cent piece I just found in a ten-cent bulk lot?
I understand the tailfeathers on these indicate the mintmark, right? And somebody told me there was a second error on the tailfeathers of this coin?
