For all that were interested,I Received Photo's back from Billy G. Crawford for the New Discovery Quadruple Die Obverse 1946 Lincoln and Double Die Reverse CDDO-004+CDDR-003. Thanks to Mr. Crawford for the GREATpictures and the attribution of this coin for me. Mike.








These pictures came out much better than I thought as the coin was housed inside an ANACS holder.

OMG! That's one of the best doubled dies I've ever seen. It's really something that one so dramatic, and 2-sided, has been out there waiting for you to discover it. Way cool, congrats!

Ozzysdad, not sure of the Value of the coin but it's rarity is I'm sure truly very Rare. It's headed to Coppercoins for his veiwing and photoing as soon as I get it back from Mr. Crawford. Then I'll probably send it on again to Anacs to get the New Attribution on the slab. Thanks for all the good comments. Mike.

Don't forget Wexler and CONECA for attributions also. That new larger ANACS slab is going to come in handy with all the attribution systems popping up, the label might just be large enough to fit everyone's number on it.

On value, the downside of having a unique discovery coin is that there cannot be a market for it similar to the SB's where enough were found to satisfy demand and get people competing for them on ebay. How you gonna set a price for a unique item? Usually priceless to the finder, who generally keeps it. If he sells it, the buyer is determining the worth, not the seller. He can ask what he wants, but the value is what he gets. So, Ozzy, looking for the big score like you do, with a merc on a steel cent planchet, or a 1964d gold cent, may not be the big deal you imagine.
