Hey, MadInvertedOne, stop yacking and get that coin to a dealer today to walk it thru at Baltimore, then let the error guys slug it out for the pop 1 coin!

The Philadelphia Mint: making coins since 1792. We make money by making money. Now in our 225th year thanks to no competition.
I have a bookmark folder with about 100 or so old eBay auctions, occasionally I'll go through and print off the old ones to preserve the pricing or variety information. Luckily, I haven't cleaned out that folder in a while.
Closed at $405, did not make the reserve. If this die evaded inspection, quite likely given the somewhat subtle nature of the variety, then the die probably struck between 3000 and 5000 coins.
Also, braddick, you called Marty "lucky" for finding these. Just like clackamas and his 1968-D full-step nickel, or Billy Crawford and the 1983 cent on a bronze planchet, all three of them searched thousands of coins for years before they got "lucky". Luck is just the crossroads of effort and opportunity, put forth enough of both and you make your own.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Sean, the best description of LUCK that i've ever heard is that it's what happens when preperation meets oppurtunity. we study here, we search here, we get Lucky here!!!
Marty just gets a bit luckier than most of us(i wonder why). actually, i know why.

Luck plays a very small part of it, the rest is hard work!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

After the first ones in 2002, I have not seen another one in 4 years (yes I always check the 2002 sets).

More and more these days I find myself pondering how to reconcile my net income with my gross habits." - John Nelson.
BTW- Looks like perhaps the one in Marty's photo might also be a different DDO. I think there is smoe notching in the "G".
And yes, Marty works very hard to find his treasures, but, he is lucky as all Hell as well.
