I thought:
the mint made the coins and that is where they ALL come from...

Without doing a ton of research, I found that Sam Lukes had one in ANACS 63RD listed in a Coin World ad this time last year for $395. In my experience his prices tend to represent the high end of the market. That might have been before that variety went into the Lincoln Cent variety registry set, though. I guess that makes my answer "more than $400".
Notice I said 'straight' answer, not 'helpful'.

I bought the (a?) 63RD (raw) from Sam for $200 & crossed it to PCGS at the grade. It WAS NOT before they were included in the variety registry set (that's why I bought it) but at the time, the pop was only 10. That was the first of the 19 or so I "made" since then.
Anywho:
Some lucky fool ripped one from L & C about 5 weeks ago for $650
One sold at auction about 2 months ago for about $9,000.
There's someone holding out for AT LEAST 5k for his.
Now pop 5?
Of course, you know the REAL value - duh
p.s. I assume you're all talking about Die 1 (FS-031) & not dies 2,3,4 Die 5 (FS-030.7), or Die 10

I guess the some people are REALLY searching hard for these things in PCGS holders.
In fact, it appears he (the seller) just "made it" as he stated that the cert # was just assigned on 10/4/04 and he didn't even get it back from PCGS yet to image it.
"Shortsleeved" will soon have it priced x 5 and relisted on Ebay most likely.
Any one know who shortsleeved is?

No, that wasn't it, but you're right. The TRUE Double Dies are difficult to locate outside of the 'wanna-be' D/D's.
But, someone else on eBay has another MS63RD & this time it looks like they're not gonna let someone steal it.
I guess a few inserts from crackout tries at 65 got redeemed for 50 cents apiece.
Or more than likely, 1 insert redemption & one upgrade in holder since the pop went from 10 to 9 in August and then a little while later in October, it went from 9 to 8 at the same time the pop in 65 went from 4 to 5. That must've been a regrade in the holder that upgraded.
