Thank you in advance.

Right! Gotcha! Will do!
Anyway:
Cents - none
Nickels - 61 DDR (Unum, America)
Dimes - 61 DDR, 63 three DDR's
Quarters - 61 DDO (R of trust, end of ribbon)
Halves - 61 DDR (the big one) but several other dies show doubling as well

I was lucky to find a few of these in some unopened proof sets - made my year and earned me a spot in the MadMarty "YOU SUCK - Hall of Fame".

Not really true for the cents....they aren't the 55 ddo but they do demand quite a bit of premium..especially in cam and somewhat uber in dcam!

1963P-1DO-006P
1963P-1DR-005P - big one for the '63
1963P-1DR-006P
1963P-1DR-007P
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
<< <i>Those dimes are sweet - I hope they are high grade as they sure look dcam to me. >>
They appear to have really nice surfaces and the devices are pretty frosty. What they would grade is a mystery to me as I don't really mess with Roosies.
Didn't find a single DD in all of the sets I went through last night. I did find a Washington quarter with about half the ribbon in his hair missing. Don't know what caused that.
