Anyone ever heard of a 1937-D DDO Buffalo?

BigE

I found one yesterday with really strong doubling on the date and on the portrait of the indian. CONECA does not list one. Perhaps the Tree will become famous because of this What do you think?----------------------BigE

There was one listed in the CONECA Double Die Master Listing (1994), 1937-D DDO 1-O-III. All it says is doubling eveident on LIBERTY. Markers: not known, reported by: not known.

Thanks pharmer, I sent it to anacs along with the extra attribution fee. There is mention of weak doubling on some 37-D's but this one is strong--------------------------------------BigE

Big E,

For the life of me, I can't find the picture of the real 37-D DDO. Unfortunately, this one isn't it. I found a source that says that machine doubling for this date is pretty common. Here's a picture the site provided as a good example of machine doubling for this date.



I wish that I could find the image of an actual DDO. The doubling was quite a bit different than my coin. The site I found that referenced the actual DDO said it is quite rare and the doubling is pretty strong.

Sorry, I should have bookmarked it.

That 37 sure looks like machine doubling. Be careful before sending coins in th ANACS for attribution. First call them to see if they will recognize the variety. I sent in a 94P Lincoln doubled reverse-"wavy steps". I thought this variety was known as it was attributed by coppercoins and on his site, Its also on Ken Potter's site. But I got the coin back, slabbed, without any designation, just a note saying that ANACS does not recognize the variety---??? WHAT????? By the way, they did keep my extra attribution fee.

BigE

I will try to get a pic of mine up when it comes back. I appreciate the info-------------------------------BigE

Back in 1995 I saw an ad from Joe Hollinsworth for this same coin. It was an unknown variety for me at that time. When I received it, I thought it was more of a shelf-doubling than a DDO. I'll be curious what happens to your coin, BigE, when you get it back from ANACS, as the pictures of that 37 DDO look exactly like the one in my collection.
