    Prices are way down !!! IMHO the two major TPG companies Not labeling the coins as varieties "Sealed The Fate" of these modern day coins. Let's not forget Potter's help to run them down in his many coin mag. articles.

  • It's been awhile since I've checked this thread but from what I skimmed through there are now 65 of these DD's? Really?
  • I earlier reported finding a new error I called the "extra blade of grass" that protrudes from about high ankle heighth from his left boot

    (facing the coin) on the reverse. I have now discovered that these have a distinct die marker on the obverse as well. The date

    has an elongation of the numbers horizontally. If you look at the "2" you will see a "blurring" that starts before the number and extends

    through the complete date, almost underlining the date. I have found this marker on all of these extra blade of grass errors. So,

    I'm not sure if this is regarded as a ddo or not. I know a couple of you have looked for this reverse error and acknowledged having seen

    it, please look and see what you think of the obverse discovery and if it qualifies as a ddo. Thanks for helping me out. I still haven't sent

    it in for attribution with Wexler, but I think this one may be strong enough to warrant the expense and potentially add yet another error to

    the growing list. Looking forward to your input and observations about this "discovery" image





    edited to add: I'm still waiting for you to list your totals of each ddr/ddo as I have done in a recent reply. This is the only way we can

    determine the rarity of one ddr or another and potentially enhance their individual values imho....please list totals whether graded or not...

    Hopefully you have them catalogued to make it a little easier.....we may be facing an uphill battle in pushing our agenda in getting these

    certified by the two major tpg's, but together we can keep them watching and considering the importance of these findings. We want

    them to grade our varieties.....we are grading THEM in reverse for their consistencey and fairness in recognizing these errors! That is why

    I feel it is important to find out which errors are the rarest, definitavely, by having a total count. I imagine that thousands of mint boxes

    have been opened by now so we should have enough accounted for to give us a decent percentage spread. Again, I know it's a little

    work to list them here, but I hope I've convinced you that it's worth the effort. I'll know soon enough if I have or not..... image

    WDDR 001 235
    WDDR 002 461

    All the others I have not separated but I have 100's of them and I also have 32 boxes of unopened rolls of prime dates.
  • Pitboss...do you know how many boxes you've opened? That is quite impressive for the 001/002's ...

    Some where around 150. I opened a lot of dud boxes though. I'm still buying !

    Potter? Jeeze, I went head to head w/him back in the day with the Wisconsin quarter. He was wrong I was right, no big deal. He still has his mis-information on his website. But it cast doubt.

    Does not surprise me that he would slam these. I'm guessing they are too small or plentiful......or maybe the errors are in the 'wrong place' as the extra leafs were.
    Or maybe they are not errors......don't care to read his articles.
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    I am not interested in what he has to say.
  • I've opened 32 LP2 boxes, looking only for 'extra finger/thumbs' back when there were less than 5 errors. Still have 58 April dated boxes sealed.

    I've found

    60 double thumb
    25 skeleton finger (all from four 4/23 boxes)
    A roll w/ 1 skeleton on the end
    1 roll w/ 1 double thumb on the end

    Just not enough time in the day to continue going through rolls.

    If you want to run a new thread to accumulate this info that may be helpful.

    FYI I found several WDDR-004's in bank rolls today, Maybe more will show up? LP2 boxes may not have all the early errors after all?

    We've known for quite some time DDRs are found in bank rolls, although Forum members are reluctant to accept that. They think that DDRs are exclusive to LP2s.

    I found many DDRs in bank rolls.

    How would you compare the quality of the bank roll cents and the mint box cents? The only ones I've seen so far are from mint boxes and majority are gem at least MS65. Thanks.
  • PapiPapi Posts: 1,189 ✭✭
    LP2 sets are transactional coins, the same as bank rolls. There's no difference other than the paper they're wrapped in.
  • CoinCrazyPACoinCrazyPA Posts: 2,899 ✭✭✭✭
    I was pointing out the fact that an early DDR that was only known to come from LP2 boxes, are just now showing up in bank boxes! Reference to my post above WDDR-004. Maybe the big ones are going to come out of bank boxes to. WDDR-006 etc?


    Also found WDDO-001 in the same roll, I find this to be very interesting finds.

    Now this is funny in a weird kinda way since there is still a 5 box limit on ordering these!

    I tired ordering 5 more and the line was cancelled.

    I wonder how many NEW customers the US Mint is getting for these as I see absolutely no way around that 5 box limit.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Waiting for the next best thing, I guess.

    I'm still finding errors in bank rolls.

    I have found al ot of the errors in bank rolls. I just purchased some of the childhood rolls, bank rolled Log Cabin P mnt and found CDDR-014 and 015 and one not listed yet. Has anyone else found the LP 1 errors?

    I have been selling my graded WDDR 001'a and WDDR 002's (66's and 67's) for decent money and am seriously considering sending in another batch to ANACS.
  • PapiPapi Posts: 1,189 ✭✭
    What's "Decent Money"?

    Links?
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    I just got $160 for a set of ANACS graded WDDR 001 and 002's MS67. I don't mind selling them for this because I have so many more of them that I know I can get graded and come up with more 67's. That's a $120 profit!

    I can't do links but the listing numbers are 150363854057 and 150363852522. I accepted $100 for the WDDR 001 and $60 for the WDDR 002.

    Nice work. What was the turn around time for grading?
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    It was 21 days.

    Exactly what they said it would take.
  • I've got to get my best samples together and have some graded. They aren't selling for much of a premium in their raw state. Probably

    will start with the 001, 002, and 006's... I just broke down, hadn't been buying any more boxes on the bay, but couldn't pass on five

    boxes @ $20 ea. for 4/23 date. Love those 006/009's. image

    Those are very hard to find with the obverse and reverse die cracks.

    Good prices, as three 4/23 went off last night for $38,$38, and $30. Right box times also.

    I have some 4/27's and 4/28's unopened, collecting dust, can't remember if these had any interest? Worth opening or flip?....image
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    I most likely have some in my hundreds that have been put aside but I felt that was a good buy so I bought it. I will know what I have after I retire at the end of the year and decide to finally go through all of these things to sort them out. I have only looked for the WDDR 001's and 2's so far and of the 200 boxes have only eliminated about 500 pennies which will be headed for a coin counter machine at Smiths supermarket to cause some hopeful person some excitement.
  • Casman, I say open them. The Ebay price right now is probably about $20 on those dates. If you sell them, shipping will be anywhere from

    $5-$7.50 and, as you know, everyone wants free shipping. When all is said and done, packaging materials, personal time to go to the

    post office, etc. you might realize about $2-$4 profit. Hardly worth the effort in my estimation. Anyway, you'll have fun looking for these

    errors. Those dates will contain some. Have fun and good luck! Time to go fishing! image

    The Beatles
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    I can not remember what those dates had in them either but you will not get much for the boxes right now on ebay. I would say just hold

    them as they are. The price may go up in the future as an unopened box. I have a bunch of unopened boxes that I am just going to hold.
  • I just checked my records Casman and the 4/28 boxes produced wddr-002's and 003's. Some of the nicer varieties. I have not opened

    any boxes dated 4/27. Perhaps someone else can provide information of what to look for in those. Good luck. image Open them,

    that is.....image

    The Beatles
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    That was why I sold all my 4/27 boxes. I have hundreds of WDDR 002's. I remember now.

    I also did some checking on what I have and located 15 of the skeleton fingers but they had no die crack so I am glad I bought that one today.
  • I've got to go back and re-examine my 006/009's as well. I hope to find one. I do have five more boxes on their way that hopefully will

    produce more of the skeleton fingers. 4/23 but earlier times than 09:00 so I'm not sure what to expect. If they are rare Pitboss, you might

    have gotten a steal on that one. Congrats!

    I admit, some of them look cool, but it's a crack

  • CoinCrazyPACoinCrazyPA Posts: 2,899 ✭✭✭✭
    They are rarer I would guess, die cracks and then that it is the end of that error.

  • Kinda late, but wanted to report my findings......I re-examined the 21 wddr-006/009's that I already had and found 7 with the die crack

    obverse. I only use a loupe, so it's fairly easy to overlook at a quick glance. Plus, I wasn't aware of these until recently, so I just wasn't

    looking for it. Pitboss, you might want to get back to yours and check them out.

    I then proceeded to open one of my new 4/23 boxes. I found 6 of the 006's (1 with the obverse die crack), 13 wddr-010's, and 3 or 4

    die cracks on the reverse "S" down to Lincoln's head. So, I'm very happy tonight with my new finds. The batch on this box is 9774

    and the time was 08:10 for reference. Good night all.
