This one is for the Variety/Cherrypicker Folks

BigDoggie's Jeff Nickel post of the week (1939 DDR #1, FS-801) got me wondering.
Is there a relatively "common" variety that has eluded you? Is there an easy cherrypick variety that you have never found in the wild or roll searching?
For me, it's the above mentioned 1939 Jefferson Nickel (never found one) and the equally elusive (for me) 1963-D 1c DDO #1 ("3/3"). Also never found one.
This is despite looking through many many thousands of each of the dates mentioned.
Heck, I might just have to pony up for the 1963-D #1 one of these days.

One more thing to look for when you are out looking.

i cant seem to find any of the wide spread but under $100 ddo/ddr on roosies, washies, franks bs/proof. im beginning to wonder if it a conspiracy. i dont look at thousands but i do look.

there are many other types that have eluded me, im sure.

Think of the search as therapy, otherwise if you add up your time as dollars it is always WAY cheaper just to buy one. :-)

I have had decent luck finding Roosie doubled dies, not so much with Franklins though.

I am not an active collector of DD's, however, I do check change for them... I would keep them if found in the wild.. I do have the Kennedy in my series... Cheers, RickO

I remember finding a 1963/3-D in XF or so over two decades ago, playing penny-ante poker at a friend's house just after college (that was all the stakes any of us could afford). I was out of a hand and idly looking through my stack when I spotted it. I haven't found the 1939 DDR in the wild either, though it isn't really a coin I've ever searched for.
