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.

"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.
You can download a .DOC here:

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.
1948
1948-D
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.
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...
and they're cold.

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