we both found it to be priceless

Someone can post a photo. Or their own "find".

I think at under 20K a decent example of a 69-S ddo will turn out to be a good buy. There are only a few dozen of these and it's a monster ddo. I'm biased because I love doubled dies but it seems like these should be worth more than that.
Nowadays I can read the date on a half dollar without glasses.
Great find, but I never find anything.

<< <i>I've posted some of my finds here, and I've had some ridiculously good boxes of halves and some great customer roll scores.
20 grand, though? That would have to be a key date or something. I know there have been several '69-S DDO's found in circulated rolls, but those are exceptional rarities and you hear about a find like that once every 5-7 years. The '92 CAM is another, but those are just as rare as the '69-S DDO's, if not rarer.
My best find was about $2k in silver in one day. >>
Yes, the 69-S is an exceptional rarity.
Or is it?
A lot of circulated finds have been showing up lately and IIRC, there was some huge publicity over counterfeit 69-S DDO's being confiscated and destroyed by the Secret Service. Could this have stemmed the search for these thereby enabling all of these recent circulation discoveries? I mean, I know that folks pay ungodly amounts for supposed 1969-S Uncirculated Rolls hoping to make that one big discovery but how many actively search specifically for a circulated example?
I'm definitely envious of the discoverer though. It makes me want to do some roll searching myself! And that's a tough sell since usually, my roll searching amounts to some coin that I've dropped, "rolling" across the floor with me searching for it!

You may be joking, but it is by far the clear winner so far.....

this is what happens when you leave someone with no choice
I believe it was the 1969-Phily Doubled Dies that were counterfeit,
and seized by the Secret Service.
The 1969-San Frans' were never counterfeited - the first few genuine
ones WERE seized, and ultimately destroyed.
It appears that the SS, after verifying that the P's were counterfeit,
(which they were), got 'over-enthusiastic', and subsequently assumed
that the S Mints were also counterfeit (which they weren't !)
I'm one of the four unlucky people who voted #3.

I know a collector found a 1983-D Lincoln cent struck on a copper planchet in a roll. The coin is a transitional off-metal, and is worth around $15,000 in today's market.

That story has always made me cringe. Imagine destroying several 1969-S doubled dies on purpose! In the variety world, that's about like melting an 1804 dollar or a 1913 v-nickel.
