Here's that FS-033s little brother FS-032, that 033 is a bit neater but both of these coins are in my opinion among the top 10 cent double dies and maybe the top 2 proof double die cents. I like em both!!! The FS-033 has even more doubling on the motto.
The pics aren't great, I can't ever get great pics of DDOs after they are in holders and this one already had a visit to PCGS.
Nice finds - I especially like the second Kennedy half. Very nice frost on the reverse - tough to find that way.
Pawn shops - now there is a place that I hadn't thought to look for coins. How do they price the coins? Trends, grey sheet, pure guess?
Once I went to a jewelry shop that had a pawn shop in the back and lots of coins. I cherried a bunch of nice stuff but had to pay Trends ask for it. I almost walked but it was worth the premium.

The pawn shop that I frequent puts all proof and SMS sets in a box until I come in to go through them. He then charges me Greysheet Bid for the ones I want. I have a once a month schedule set up with him. He does this because I buy a lot of sets.
Do you think the 71 will CAM or DCAM. Looking at the pictures the reverse looks a little thin on the shield which is usually the problem with the 71's. I can find tons of one-sided CAMs and DCAMs but can never match up both sides.
Hi Ken, great score. May I ask why you chose NGC over PCGS for encapsulation and grading ? I know the plastic doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious.

I hate to admit it, but PCGS is truning them around much faster than NGC is. My last economy order cleared in 3 days at PCGS!!!! Even moderns have been running about 2 weeks!
BTW, very nice coins Ken!!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

I cherried that at a pawn shop last Thursday along with 3 1969 proof Kennedies that I think will go 69DCAM.
