Cherrypicked a good one yesterday, anybody else lately?

ROBBItheOKIE

Hi yall how ya been, I went to a coin shop in Tulsa today and found a 1974D Doubled die obverse, Kennedy half in a mint set, sorry I don't have a picture for yall to look at but if you look in the third edition of the cherrypickers guide or in the redbook you will see this coin. I paid $7.00 for the mint set. This makes the fourth set that I have found with the doubled kennedy in the denver set. The first one I found was about 6 years ago, and I am still looking, hoping to find a 1973d in a mint set, but just thought I would share this with yall. Thanks for listening and happy hunting.

As far as I know, the GOOD (1-O-I) 1973-D DDO isn't found in Mint sets. I have an MS66 of the 1-O-I. A minor one can be found, tho. I just bought 170 '74-D halves cut out of the Mint sets off ebay a month or so ago and only found four DDO's-a very poor return as usually around 1 in 10 contain the DDO.

Hey ROBBItheOKIE,

A few weeks back, I went in to a rather small 'coin' store, which is mainly a jewelry store with some coins in it. I don't go in to this store all that often because they never seem to get any new stuff in and I get tired of looking at all of the same overpriced stuff.

So, I did happen to find my way in there since I was in the area, and it looked like all the same old stuff. I say 'Hi' to the shop ownerwho actually remembers me from my few visits in to see her. She tells me to just let her know if I see anything I would like taken out of the display case on the wall. Seeing that there are again no nice early Lincolns, I decide to look at a few of the ugly ones that there are known die varieties for. I asked her if I could see a 1935 Lincoln that's simply marked 'Unc.' I take a look at it and I guesstimate about 60-62RB. The price is marked $4.50. I ask her if I may borrow her loupe and she obliges handing me a 5x loupe. So I say to her 'Do you mind if I use your other Loupe, the 15x?' 'Sure, feel free!' she replies.

Well, I took a closer look at the date and the motto, and I immediately bought the coin. It turned out to be 1935P DDO #1! This really made my day, I was very excited!

As I am at work right now, I can't share photos, but I can post them later tonight.

Congratulations on your finds! I found a 1960 Proof set with an FS# 1¢ - 025, DDO(Lg/sm date) and an FS# 5¢ - 036, DDR in the same set. Also found a deep cameo Kennedy Half in a 1965 SMS set in the same coin shop. I sold the DDR nickel for the price of both the Proof & SMS set. Put the DCam half in my collection and am having the DDO cent slabbed. Here's some photos:

I cherrypicked an off-metal piece recently; a 2000 Gallery Mint One Concept Standing Liberty Piedfort Planchet in Copper instead of Brass. how's that for obscure?

Robbi,

Nice find. I'm hunting a 72-D no FG to add to my abraded die set, as it will be recognized in the new Cherrypickers if it is ever released. I did manage to buy a coin I've been hunting for years last week, a 65 SMS rotated dies half. Some of the fun stuff is very hard to find.

Murphy........put up a pic of that 65. That's huge.

Murphy, is this real, or is it a fantasy coin??

I'm waiting for my PCGS 1974-D MS65 to arrive that I won last week on eBay. With a POP of only 53 in 65 and only 8 higher I call this a cheery.

I bought a few circulated sets of Washington quarters recently and found a 1950 S/S (VF), a 1950 D/S (XF) and a 1942 D DDO (G).

Murphy

Coinhusker1, that's the Kennedy that I found at the coin shop along with those Doubled Dies. I also found great looking 1970 and 1971 Proof sets with beautiful DCam Kennedies. (Could not believe my luck!) I put all the Kennedies in my collection.

DHeath

Murphy,

How about some larger pics of that half?

I bought a 1963 proof set the other day just for the heck of it (and my first Franklin ) and when I got it home I found the quarter was a DDO worth $35 in MS65. I would grade this a MS68 or so and I paid $13 for the whole set.

A few days a go I came across a 1950 D/D quarter in XF, nothing to special but better than silver.
