Anyone Ever Find a 1983 DDR or 1984 Double Ear...

OneCent · February 24, 2009 9:01AM

in circulation?

I'm constantly looking for these in my pocket change but have not found one as of yet. I am convinced that it is only a matter of time before I do.

What do you think? Reasonable shot to make one of these finds?

I'm looking for someone to give me hope!!!!

Yes -- I found a 1984 Doubled Ear cent in circulation several years ago in the New York area. Never found the 1983 DDR though. But I'm sure there must still be plenty more out there, just waiting to be found. Good luck

I was going to start a same kinda thread...

I am always looking for these two specific Doubled Dies in my change and was wondering the same thing.
"Will I ever find one of these, are they still out there to be found?"

mach19 · February 24, 2009 9:18AM

Still looking......

Musky1011 · February 24, 2009 9:22AM

post a pic so I know what to look for

If raw on ebay counts as "in circulation" , yes.

robkool · February 24, 2009 9:46AM

One of these dayz...

TheRegulator · February 24, 2009 10:28AM

Yup. They're still out there...

Personally, I don't think anyone has a reasonable shot at finding one, but all you can do is search, search, search!

tightbudget · February 24, 2009 10:29AM

Nope. I've only found two 1972 DDOs.

InternetJunky · February 24, 2009 10:33AM

Since this is on topic and it'll prevent me from starting another thread, does anybody know a website where I can get a list of pocket change coins to look for? I have probably about $300 in pocket change to look through, I figure as long as I'm looking for those pre-64's I may as well look for the DD's and such.

Wolf359 · February 24, 2009 11:32AM

I look all the time and never found anything, until I turned up a 1999 Wide AM of all the things.

ClosedLoop · February 24, 2009 11:49AM

found two '83 no '84 and no '72

With the economy the way it is now I bet a lot of old change jars are/will be getting dumped into circ. Probably a better chance to find them now then a couple years ago.

It's a worthy investment and one can improve one's chances of obtaining wealth through knowledge. I am not a huckster by any means, but this book will give even the least educated in coins a chance to obtain "insider" knowledge.

I have looked through many many rolls, no luck on either, or a 72 double die.

Thank you for the link
TwoSides2aCoin. I will be purchasing this book tonight.

I search a lot of rolls from the bank and I haven't found either yet. I found a 1972 DDO-003 in XF-AU and a 1994 DDR FS-801 that graded MS65RD.

GrimReaper · February 24, 2009 5:03PM

I pulled this out of a bank roll a couple yrs ago !!

GoldenEyeNumismatics · February 24, 2009 9:16PM

I've found a 72 DDO. One of the member of a local club recently found a 1983 DDR that graded MS64RD at PCGS.

ernie11 · February 25, 2009 7:10AM

When the 83 DDR come out, I bought one. Since then, I have searched for years in change and no luck.

Amazingly got a $25 box tonight and found a xf 1984 double ear in about the 5th roll. I live in Texas! Merry Christmas

richbeat · December 9, 2009 5:54PM

Yes, I have. I found eight of the 1983 DDR's back in 1983, when I lived near Gainesville, Florida. It was one of the two areas of the country (northwest Pennsylvania was the other) where they turned up. Here is a pic of one of them:

1983 DDR has become unique........

Even i have been searching to add to my collection but in vain.....

darktone · December 9, 2009 8:34PM

Yes, I found several 84 double ears in the Chicago area back when they were first discovered. I found one of the other types of 84 doubled dies as well- before it was reported.

......here you go.

ive found 3 1984 doubled ears in rolls

Cocoinut · December 10, 2009 2:09AM

I lived in the West when these were first issued, and Philly coins were seldom seen. Now that I live in the East, most of the coins are "P" mint, and I check my 1983, 1984, and 1995 cents. No luck inthe 5 years I've been checking for them, but I'm sure they're out there.

Back about 1990 I found a 1984 DDO.

Still have it - only one I have ever found.
