2014 Update - Another one of my FUN Jeffersons!

Not a ton of action on the Jefferson Nickel front, which is pretty typical for the FUN Show. It's just great hooking up with a few other enthusiasts and go on the hunt. I somehow always come up with a few and this one has been on the list for a long time.

1938-D DDO-001 (CONECA lists this one as only seen an AU example) This one ROCKS! Interesting die scratch as another marker for this variety! This one will go into the "All Variety" Set once graded.

Hey, what can I say....the simple pleasures in life!

Pretty coin...................

WELL DONE SIR!

sniocsu · January 13, 2013 8:12AM

Very nice!

DIMEMAN · January 13, 2013 8:21AM

I got to see this one in hand when I met the Big Dog of nickels!

It's a beautiful coin.

I like the look. Great pick up. I have yet to find a DDO or DDR Jefferson....and I've looked at a bunch.

OldEastside · January 13, 2013 9:38AM

I like it, even with that little DDO problem

Very nice i like it.

mariner67 · January 13, 2013 3:22PM

Very nice, easily visibly and extensive doubling.
Great coon!

GRANDAM · January 14, 2013 2:57AM

Nice coin Mike,

What is your estimated grade for it?

Grandam

johnny9434 · January 14, 2013 5:33AM

thats a wickedly nice coin. nice pick up

RareCoinsByJVE · January 14, 2013 5:55AM

That is a great double die! Congrats!

etexmike · January 14, 2013 6:13AM

Nice color on the Jefferson. Congrats on the pickup.

Grandam,

I'm thinking MS65, maybe MS66? Nice strike and toning. Just shy of full stepper!

GRANDAM · January 14, 2013 9:38AM

I was thinking MS66 but couldn't tell about the steps from your photo.

GrandAm

drei3ree · January 14, 2013 10:49AM

Strike is amazing, gotta be 66.

BigDowgie · January 19, 2013 9:52AM

James Wiles saw the pictures and would like to see it to take for more detailed pictures! Pretty cool, eh!

BigDowgie · February 2, 2013 4:08AM

Mr. Wiles is returning the coin next week and then off to PCGS. This will be in my "All Variety" Set in due time!

WoodenJefferson · February 2, 2013 5:59AM

Very, very nice Jefferson.

Congrats on these elusive finds (unless it was pointed out to you...poke, poke)

jcuve · February 2, 2013 6:21AM

That's very nice, both the coin and the hub doubling. What did Wiles list it as, it appears to be a class II, unless there is some rotational spread on other devices I am not detecting.

BigDowgie · February 2, 2013 8:54AM

jcuve - Wiles returned his attribution as: DDO-001, 1-O-V-CW, stage A, EDS. To be honest, I'm going to have touch up on the "V" and "CW" definitions. While I collect varieties, I have not put all the terminology into this failing memory card I carry around between my ears.

WoodenJefferson - Did you post once before on this particular DDO?

BigDowgie · May 18, 2013 10:07AM

Grade in.....PCGS MS66! Lovin' it!

oldsubguru · May 18, 2013 10:11AM

Excellent!!!! That is one of heck of a nice variety coin and I am happy that it got a grade deserving of its condition.

sniocsu · May 18, 2013 10:16AM

Strong work!!!

Windycity · May 19, 2013 5:39AM

Congrats!!! Great variety, great grade!!!

BigDowgie · February 15, 2014 11:18PM

I have a pretty cool update from the 2014 FUN Show this year on this 1938-D DDO-001 I found last year.

1938-D DDO-001 2013 FUN Show find

1938-D DDO-003 (Discovery-James Wiles attribution for CONECA) 2014 FUN Show find

Interesting die scratches that exist on both coins! Now I have to find DDO-002 to see what is going on with that one!

stephunter · February 17, 2014 4:07PM

Very interesting that they both have die scratches in the same area. One of the 38 DDO coins has a very similar die scratch in the same area. Nice pick up, congrats!
