    Wow, you’ve been busy, @TypeCoin971793! Thanks for that 1926 DDO census. I’ve been keeping track of the ones I’ve seen, but I wasn’t aware of about half of them.

    I think you've passed KearneyCC who had found several in past years to become the new 1919 DDO Eagle Eye.

    I’ve also found 5 of the 10 known 1926 DDO dimes. The current census for that is:

    ANACS MS60 Details (Discovery coin)
    PCGS AU53 (Unattributed, 45596215, found by Shurke)
    PCGS VF30 (My find, sold for $2500)
    PCGS VF30 (My find)
    NGC VF30
    NGC F15
    NGC VG10 (sold for ~$800 iirc)
    PCGS VG8 (My find)
    PCGS G6 (My find)
    PCGS G6 (My find)

    I went through all of my 1919’s and nothing but going through my dads blue Whitman book from 60 years ago in Feb of last year, he had a 1926 DDO-001 hidden in there. Had it sent into ANACS and it came back 06. I’m guessing I will have to pay the price for a 1919 DDO already encapsulated. 5352406 is the anacs #

    My job is to process bulk coins and pull out anything worth more than the bulk rate. I net about $95/hour in the stuff I pull out.

    Not sure if anyone saw this thread I posted in January on this 1919 DDO PCGS CAC grading set someone has but no one replied to it. Guess there wasn’t much interest. https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1099859/pcgs-cac-grading-set-of-1919-ddo-mercury-dimes

    Do you have pictures you can share of the 1926 DDO? Somehow I missed hearing about that dicovery.

    I added your newest to the census as #56, guess I'll call it a raw AG for now. Looks cleaned too?
