    If you can get it in a sample or doily slab, I'd be a buyer. image

    pcgs guide on a 66 cam is about $8,000, and there is only one cam in the pop report!

    That half is terrific. What a great choice to introduce your images to the forum.

    I could see this coin bringing more than the CU guide lists for, given the population after 25 years.

    But I don't think it will be for sale.

    My near term plans for the pictured DDR half is to enjoy it raw for a little while; and then to submit it for slabbing/grading.

    No plans to sell it at this time.

    Of course it is lonely and wants to be reunited with some of its siblings. Thus I will have to spend some time searching for another one; and another oneimage: in order to have a family reunion.

    Congratulations Kevin on a wonderful find!!! That is a sweet looking '61 Frankie DDR, and the rest of the coins look mighty nice too. image

    I look forward to holding it in my sweaty little palms sometime in the next couple of months.

    Hard to believe ot has been 5 years since I lucked out and snagged the 1961 proof set containing a DDR half dollar.

  • Bigbuck1975Bigbuck1975 Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What did it end up grading?

  • crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 13,776 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ya did really good! Congrats !!

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Did you get around to getting it graded and TrueViewed?

    Resurrecting this very old thread to say that the DDR half I found in an OGP set (about 9.5 years ago) graded this >month as a PCGS PF67.

    how many calls to pcgs did it take to push the order through after THAT long? :D

    gratz. happy to see the results in the other thread!
