I was floored when I found this beauty! This is a 1930 DDO1 (FS-17, Breen 2639) in PCGS MS66. PCGS does not recognize the DDO designation for this coin (or most doubled die buffalos) so the designation is not on the holder. It is 100% guaranteed to be the DDO1. There is doubling on the feathers, date, eyelid, nostril, and the tip of the nose, some of which is visible in the pictures. Another distinguishing characteristic is the die crack that runs from 10 to 12 on the obverse. The coin is brilliant white and highly lusterous in hand, even though the photos don't depict it as such. If you wanted to cross it to NGC, SEGS, or ANACS, then they would designate the DDO, and at MS66 it would be a 1/0 with any of these services. Serious offers only, please PM me with offers or post below with questions. I'm trying to raise money for some other buffs, so I won't be crying if this doesn't sell. No, wait, my Grandmother needs an operation and can't afford the hospital bills image

    PCGS most DEFINITELY WILL designate it if you send it in under the "mint error" service. image

    Really? Forgive my ignorance then! I guess I assumed a DDO wasn't a mint error, so I never thought about that route. When I think of mint error I generally think of off centers, clips, braodstrikes, etc. I may have to look into resubmitting. Thanks for the insight RBinTex!

    send it back and get PCGS to attribute as a DDO, you'll get much more for the coin. without the designation we are relying on your grade, which maybe correct, but not certified as a DDO and that will cost you much more that sending back to PCGS. w/o i and many others would only pay ms66 money on the coin, not a MS66 DDO Money.

    I don't believe so unless this is a very well known one that would be in "Red Book".

    Does anyone know for sure if PCGS will attribute the DDO if I send it under "mint error" submission? The DDO is listed in the Cherrypicker's guide as well as "Treasure Hunting Buffalo Nickels" and it is assigned an FS and Breen #.
