    Ever consider a copy of the Cherrypickers Guide?

    I see DDO's (FS-101, FS-102, FS-103) and DDR's (FS-801) along with Type B Reverse (FS-901).

    For the 1963-D I see DDO (FS-101)

    James Wiles page Variety Vista.com (CONECA Master Listing) shows 27 different DDO's for 1963 (Proof and UNC) and 7 different DDR's.

    For the Denver coin, Variety Vista shows 12 different DDO's and 2 DDR coins.

    Variety Vista offers descriptive text but no photographs. The CPG shows limited photographs.

    My advice is to look at your coins through either a good loupe or stereo microscope. If you spot a double die, it'll be obvious.

    If you poke around on Variety Vista, some varieties have photographs. such as the FS-101.

    The FS-102 also has photo's.
    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.



    The name is LEE!

    ...ditto on the CPG.
