Franklin specialist... DDR question

Windycity

I have been looking through a roll a 1948-D Franklins and have a number of DDR... motto quite noticibly doubled. How common is this coin? Also found one 1948 DDR, again quite dramatic. Thanks in advance for any help.

...you could ask Bushmaster or Franklinluvr , I have no idea about that aspect of Franklins

Cherrypickers' Guide lists one and mentions others that are less noticeable.

48-D CONECA listings show 4 DDR coins listed.


"Medium spread Northwest E PLURIBUS UNUM, UNITED, HALF DOLLAR, dots, and right of bell clapper"

all 4 of these DDR coins are described exactly the same way,so i dont know what the difference is between them.

I have a 48-P with doubling ONLY in the motto,which i believe to be DDR#5 but i have not sent it in yet to attribute.
I do not see a CONECA listing for your coin,as you say,with doubling ONLY in the motto.Are you sure there is no other doubling as described in the CONECA listings?

pictures would be nice.

Thanks for the Coneca list... I am a member and like the resource but sure wish they had images like VAMWorld has. I am a visual learner. Here are images... the first is the reverse of the 1948 Franklin DDR, the second set are the obverse and reverse of the 1948-D Franklin. For the 1948-D both the obverse and reverse are doubled. Both coins show doubling on more than just the motto on the reverse... but harder to capture in a picture. Sorry for the odd angle of the photos but I was trying to get the best light to show the DDR.

"Both coins show doubling on more than just the motto on the reverse"

the 48-P i have has doubling ONLY on the motto,so i was able to figure that it is DDR#5 and i have been told its very scarce.

since your 48-P has doubling on more than just the motto,then it is DDR#1 or 2 or 3 or 4.
you will probably have to send it to james wiles for attribution.

the 48-D has 4 different DDR coins PAIRED with 4 different DDO's!
without pictures there is no way to know which DDR/DDO combo you have.

best to send them in to be sure....and i have no idea what the POP's would be for these different combo DDO/DDR coins.

They are not uncommon Blusterytown. PCGS would very likely give those both the FS#'s.

In my experience with 48 P&D DDR's, PCGS is not greatly concerned about the attribution being accurate (the actual FS listings are for 1 specific die, but PCGS awards the FS# to at least 2 different dies for both the P & D) .

If the spread is what they are looking for (and these two appear to be), you get the FS.

You wouldn't want to send less than MS64FBL due to the $24 attribution fee. They are not as wildly popular as the bugs bunnys but they do bring a modest premium. You could check TT prices...

They're nice DDR's, but don't command really high premiums. I sold an ANACS 63 a while back for less than $20... what Bushmaster said- not worth submitting in the lower grades.

There's quite a few 1948-P&D DDRs misattributed by all the major TPGs. I had hoped the new CPG would list markers to try to prevent any more mistakes.

The 1948 FS-801 (CONECA DDR-001) is scarcer and more dramatic than the similar DDRs.
