1961 and 1963 Proof Set Varieties...

Could someone refresh my memory as to the varieties to look for in these particular sets.

Thank you in advance.

    Well there's a 61 double die half and a 63 double die reverse dime.

    If you see anything like this in the 1961 set, it's just junk silver:

    But, I'll buy it from you anyway because I'm a nice guy.

    I presume you are talking about Cherrypickers varieties.

    Anyway:
    Cents - none
    Nickels - 61 DDR (Unum, America)
    Dimes - 61 DDR, 63 three DDR's
    Quarters - 61 DDO (R of trust, end of ribbon)
    Halves - 61 DDR (the big one) but several other dies show doubling as well

    I was lucky to find a few of these in some unopened proof sets - made my year and earned me a spot in the MadMarty "YOU SUCK - Hall of Fame".

    Not really true for the cents....they aren't the 55 ddo but they do demand quite a bit of premium..especially in cam and somewhat uber in dcam!

    1963P-1DO-006P
    1963P-1DR-005P - big one for the '63
    1963P-1DR-006P
    1963P-1DR-007P

    Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.

    They appear to have really nice surfaces and the devices are pretty frosty. What they would grade is a mystery to me as I don't really mess with Roosies.

    Didn't find a single DD in all of the sets I went through last night. I did find a Washington quarter with about half the ribbon in his hair missing. Don't know what caused that.
