I'm a full red kinda guy so the blue does little for me.

Got any Full Red's Charmy?

ThePennyLady · June 6, 2009 3:14AM

Hi Lee, that's a really beautiful coin. However, I'm the complete opposite of you, I really prefer toned red/brown or toned brown copper. I do have some full red coins, but none are mine personally and none are doubled.

HighRelief · June 6, 2009 3:47AM

I really like the color on your 72 DDO, Charmy. The doubling on the penny makes it look sorta 3-D when you look at it.

Here is one that Todd shot for me, one of my favorites.

Thanx... Just posted as a gag!

This one is nice, but I think my pics represent the real look of the coin better.
I do not know why this one did not grade RedBrown

One of my all time sentimental favorites...I found this one on a hot steamy august night...age 17, rollpicking, with coins spread out all over my bed. Ran out to my Dad, who was sitting reading the newpaper...jammed it in front of his face an yelled I FOUND ONE I FOUND ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! he said, Yup, you DID! not too long after, being a broke kid, I needed money, and sold it to my Mom for sixty dollars. It sat in the safe in house until three years ago, when she passed on. I submitted it, and got a 63RB because of a fingerprint (not mine) on the face. All in all, a nice coin Ill keep forever.

ThePennyLady · June 6, 2009 9:27AM

Rocco, that's an absolutely beautiful 1955/55, my kind of coin!

Great story Ambro, I don't think I could ever part with that one if I were you.

Old Thread Alert!

Not sure about the eye appeal but the doubling is there.

Again, not sure about the eye appeal but it's all there.

Is it just me or do the watermarks on some of the photos block just about everything there is to see?

jfriedm56 · October 14, 2024 5:16PM

Cherry Red 65.

lermish · October 14, 2024 5:25PM

Tough to pick but I like the color on this one.

OAKSTAR · October 14, 2024 6:02PM

Not nearly as nice as yours @knovak1976 but it's all there.

.. · October 14, 2024 6:11PM

@oakstar…….lol….strange story behind mine. I got it from a coin dealer in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, when I was stationed at Hurlburt Field with the USAF in 1986. The owner of the shop, Robert Brock, said he was one of the discoverers of the 83 RDD and the 84 double ear Lincoln….so he had a lot of them to sell. Mine is in a large plexiglass holder with the ANACS certificate saying the grade is an MS65/MS65. I looked at the PCGS views and mine looks like it would possibly grade a bit higher, but I
am kinda gun shy about submitting stuff because I think my coins always look better than the TPG’s…😉

Nice story @knovak1976. Wish I could have look for coins during my military years. Couldn't afford it.

Here's mine. I think I was focused more on the holder, then the coin. Love these small soap bar slabs. I think the 036 is today's 801.

Heck if I know. This is/was an old thread.

Yes, I see the number of posts he had and when he joined the forum. You might find out what happened to him on this "Missing members...who do you realize is missing?" thread.

Here's one I owned a few years ago, I wonder were it is now?

BillJones · October 15, 2024 9:57AM

I don't collect very many doubled dies. I used to have the 1955, 1972 and 1983 doubled die cents in a small Capital Plastics holder. I had them certified and someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse on the 1983. Here's what's left.

I still have a photo of 1983.

1984 DDO MS67RD

I have DDO thing, I like them all

bramn8r · November 27, 2024 10:49AM

last one

Crypto · November 27, 2024 11:32AM

Sort of a hybrid American issue and it is eye appealing, one just needs eye good enough to see it which isn’t these eyes

WaterSport · November 27, 2024 12:25PM

OAKSTAR · November 27, 2024 2:49PM

As a side note. I bought this 1939-S straight graded years ago for my 8140 Washington Dansco mint set. Years later, I cherrypicked my own set, discovering it was a DDO. I resubmitted it and lost a grade.

SanctionII · November 27, 2024 3:43PM

Two of my favorite cherrypicks.

1961 PF67 DDR, FS-801 Franklin half dollar (it looks better in hand and has a Cameo appearance).

1943/2-P 5C DDO FS-101 (028), FS MS66 (it looks much better in hand than it shows in the Trueview photo).

NorCalJack · November 27, 2024 4:15PM

1943-D FS-101 - Probably the most eye appealing DDO I own.

Flatwoods · November 27, 2024 4:31PM

Alpha2814 · November 27, 2024 5:37PM

1925 Colombia 5 Peso - Restrepo-455.4b DDR - the only doubled die I own

LeeBone · November 27, 2024 5:48PM

I have quite a few DD coins in my collection.
When looking at all of them, it is hard to say that there is any one DD that is more appealing than the 55 DDO, IMO of course.
