2009 lincoln ddr thread for "BOX DATES AND NUMBER FOUND"

luckyman · July 23, 2009 3:36PM

I'm still searching for the wddr-006/cddr-009/ddo-02

opened my three 4/23 boxes where I thought I would hit at least a couple,

but none. I've gotten consistent 005 and 008's and I hit big on one roll from 4/29 : oo1's, 2's, 3's, and 4's, but still in search of the elusive

006.....

CoinCrazyPA · July 23, 2009 4:21PM

I think the time of the day is key on 4/23, what time were your boxes.

CoinCrazyPA · July 23, 2009 4:23PM

I have also opened quite a few and pulled 5 and 8's.

luckyman · July 23, 2009 4:32PM

2 boxes...4/23 batch 9774 time 14:06 total of 14 wddr-005's, 12 wddr-008's, 2 unattributed ddr's

1 box......4/23 batch 9883 time 13:43 total of 13 wddr-005's, 14 wddr-008's

obviously no complaints...but....is it too much to ask for ONE 006????

CoinCrazyPA · July 23, 2009 5:12PM

All mine were in the same time frames, have you opened any of the later in May boxes. I just picked up a few to test the waters.

You can get them on ebay for $12-$18, but it is more fun searching for them.

CoinCrazyPA · July 24, 2009 1:28PM

I have some 5/28 and 5/29 boxes coming I will let you know the results.

luckyman · July 25, 2009 12:51PM

Did you mean to say 4/28 and 4/29? I haven't heard of anything on these threads about late May dates producing any errors.

Please update me if I'm wrong .....I'm anxiously awaiting five 4/29 boxes to arrive at my door....this was my personal strongest date for

these errors and I think I got a great deal....$20 per box with free shipping. We'll know soon enough if it was a good deal or not.

Prices on Ebay seem to be going up a bit for the raw coins, especially the wddr-001, 2, and of course the ever elusive 006.

No one has indicated which date boxes are producing the wddr-006/cddr-009's other than 4/23. If there is another key date to search

I would hope that someone would generously post it.....btw, as stated earlier in this thread, I searched 3 boxes of 4/23 without finding

any

CoinCrazyPA · July 25, 2009 1:51PM

I'm trying to find the errors after DDR 14, I'm thinking they maybe in the late May boxes? Any thoughts?

Rogerd · July 25, 2009 2:12PM

Here is the latest information that I have put together on the WDDR-006 error. As far as I can tell they are only being found in the boxes dated 4/23 and the time is very important, I have checked boxes at the 07:00 and 13:14 times and found nothing. but the times from about 9:27 up to 12:33 have all produced at least 4 of the WDDR-006 per roll, some as much as 8 per roll. I have given up bidding on these times as the prices have risen above $60 per box, The last one tonight sold for $66.00. If you bid on boxes in that time frame, you should find some errors.

I have 2 boxes left from this time. How easy are the errors to spot?

Rogerd · July 25, 2009 2:41PM

These errors can be spotted fairly easy if you have a 10x loupe. In my experience that is the only error you will find in these rolls, but I could be proven wrong in that respect. You will find the extra long finger laying right along the spine of the book between the thumb and index finger.

Papi · July 25, 2009 3:29PM

I've found WDDR-005s & WDDR-008s in 4/23 boxes

sanitarium1inmate · July 25, 2009 3:32PM

<< I'm trying to find the errors after DDR 14, I'm thinking they maybe in the late May boxes? Any thoughts? >>

I'm more thinking these are coming out of both the later dated mint boxes and the bank rolls. The ones coming from the bank rolls have been more minor for the most part but I do believe ther is one in the bank rolls that has been found with the spine of the book being doubled and not the fingers which is pretty cool looking.

luckyman · July 25, 2009 4:11PM

Rogerd...you ARE a good guy...that was a very good piece of detective work on the time stamp parameters. Thank you for

sharing

ClosedLoop · July 26, 2009 12:32AM

wish i wrote down the times on my boxes, nice leg work rogerd.

what's the best site to view the entire list of these errors?

is anacs still the only tpg grading these?

JungleFever · July 26, 2009 12:57AM

Hi......I've kept the boxes which I found the skeleton fngers. I don't have the exact count of skeleton fingers found in each of the 5 boxes.....but I did find some in each of the 5 rolls I had. 24 in 4 rolls,
plus one roll has a skeleton on the end which I didn't open yet......

All boxes dated 4/23 here is the box the code and the times:

9883.....07:24
9883.....07:24

9774.....09:58
9774.....09:58
9774.....09:58

Total 24 from FOUR rolls in hand..... plus one roll unopened w/Skeleton error showing. It does seem to be a pretty narrow window......accidentally I'm sure.

HTH.................

Anacs is currently the only top TPG designating the varieties on the slab.... and there are two good online sources:

Billy Crawford's Die Variety Magazine which comes in multiple downloadable pdf's

John Wexler's Double Die page - refresh daily as he continues to add more finds

Papi · July 26, 2009 2:31AM

I only find 10 of the 57 Wexler numbers to be interesting.

WDDR-001, 002, 006, 013 (only because of the massive crack), 014, 016, 028, 043, 050, 051.

Anyone else?

Here's your key date and time for sale

4/23

pitboss · July 26, 2009 9:43AM

I have looked at 5 4/23 boxes and found nothing

Papi · July 26, 2009 9:50AM

I've found them in the date/time that are for sale in that link.

But why spend $100 on one box. There was a lot of 25 of these that just sold for $105, $4.20 each.

There's many other listings for $10.

pitboss · July 26, 2009 10:04AM

I agree.

luckyman · July 26, 2009 3:34PM

just finished going through two boxes...one 4/30...just six wddr-004's...and one 4/24.....eight wddr-008's and six 005's...what was cool

was one of the 004's has a long die crack on the obverse, parallel to the rim, that starts at about 10 o'clock and runs through the words "in

God". I had never seen this before in all of my prior searches so it was exciting to see. I know you all want pics, but I don't have the

photo equipment to show it properly. I also got two (what I call) "crackhead Lincolns" out of the 4/24 box. Unlike most of the long die

cracks that look like a lighting bolt from the rim in front of Lincoln's body on the reverse, these both (I have three total now) start from the

rim through the letter "o" in "of" and split lincoln's head in two down to his chin. Has anyone elso found these? I haven't seen them on

Ebay or posted here or on Wexler's site. If they are a new discovery, should I send them in for attribution or are they just considered die

cracks with no variety attribution? Well...that's my report for tonight

hope you're all having as much fun as I am looking for

Mr. GoodLincoln...

P.S. if anyone has a suggestion for a cheap camera that takes decent digital closeups please let me know...thanks!

I have found a single example of that particular die crack... pretty cool running down his face like that!

Maybe something like this? I've found 3 also, and they are easily my favorite die crack on ANY coin.......

CMAN · July 27, 2009 9:46AM

I have some early boxes of LP2. Any recommendation on what magnifying glass (10x, 20x etc) do I need to search for the DDR?
Appreciate any recommendation.

luckyman · July 27, 2009 11:09AM

Junglefever...yes that's it...I really like it too!

luckyman · July 27, 2009 12:05PM

Got some fresh 4/29 boxes in today....goin huntin!

JungleFever · July 27, 2009 11:57PM

<< I have looked at 5 4/23 boxes and found nothing >>

And I have looked at a lot of the 'loaded' boxes you have mentioned in the recent past, and found........NOTHING. It's just a crap shoot, like the wisconsin extra leaves were. some wis rolls had 5 to 9 errors, most had none.

These are much more interesting to look at than the Wis. It seems each lincoln has some kind of goofy thing going on with it.

Inconsistent is how I would describe the stamping results from the P mint lincoln cents.

Papi · July 28, 2009 2:31AM

The Mint changed it's shipping date for LP2 sets today, to 8/14, a day after LP3 goes on sale.

Looks like sales will continue, even though production of Formative Years officially ended.

pitboss · July 28, 2009 4:37AM

Now they say there is an double die error in the Guam quarters. WoW !!

These people are IDIOTS !

CoinCrazyPA · July 28, 2009 7:33AM

I found the 20x to be the best to see the errors clearly

pitboss · July 28, 2009 8:03AM

well, happy hunting. I hope you end up with a bunch of them.

pitboss · July 28, 2009 8:08AM

<< well, happy hunting. I hope you end up with a bunch of them. >>

I am still the only one who has MS67's on ebay.

They are the top pop and are going to be a good coin. When that listing runs out, I will take them off the market and hold on to them for sure.

It's as though the lincoln errors have gone into freefall along w/the boxed 2 roll sets the past 10 days. What's up with that?

JungleFever · July 28, 2009 3:32PM

<< Now they say there is an double die error in the Guam quarters. WoW !! These people are IDIOTS ! >>

And the 'Snake in the Grass' on the Log Cabin Lincolns..........soon, a clean, clear, crisp hammered modern coin will be a rarity at this rate.

I do not think there presently is not a market for these with the coin collecting public. After I saw a couple of MS 65 DDO/DDR 006's sell for less that the cost of grading I held my last submission to ANACS.

I have 46 graded on their way back to me right now and that will be it for me until I see some value in grading these.

No big ads in Coin World...no demand other than the small group on this thread

Put a WDDR-001 MS 67 out there as a .99 start auction to really see what the public is willing to pay. I would guess $50-60

Even the probably very low mintage PF DDR sells for less than $500??? The public has moved on....

Just my thoughts...

pitboss · July 28, 2009 11:11PM

I too have not sent any more in for grading at this point . I have not had much action on my MS67's even though they are the top pop. We will just have to wait it out and see what happens. I will get my 2 proof DDR's back on Friday as they have shipped. I will know the grades on them today.

pitboss · July 29, 2009 4:00AM

.

Both are MS69's which is the top pop .

And just for fun I opened a ro90ll of 4/29 9883 07:14

got 7 chin whiwskers
13 DEDR 001
10 asst other errors

Not a bad box.

Papi · July 29, 2009 4:21AM

<< The public has moved on....Just my thoughts... >>

I'd like to think that's it's just the summertime slowdown, people on vacation etc.

Some media coverage would be nice, like USA Today; our most beloved President with a mutant hand; disgraceful.

And some price guide recognition; maybe next years Cherrypicker?

pitboss · July 29, 2009 4:23AM

We sure need something to get these off of dead center.

Papi · July 29, 2009 5:17AM

<< It's as though the lincoln errors have gone into freefall along w/the boxed 2 roll sets the past 10 days. What's up with that? >>

Actually prime date boxes are selling fairly well in the last week

4/28 $46
4/29 $45
4/30 $39
4/23 from $49 up tp $70.65
4/16 & 4/17 around $25

Again, I think it's a summertime market blip.

pitboss · July 29, 2009 5:35AM

I feel that everyone is buying up what is left of the good datwes and just waiting. I know I am.

CoinCrazyPA · July 29, 2009 12:02PM

Stop driving the prices up I cannot win any lately.

Papi · July 29, 2009 12:11PM

Gotta spend it to make it

<< The Mint changed it's shipping date for LP2 sets today, to 8/14, a day after LP3 goes on sale.

Today the ship date changed to 8/24/09 13 days after LP3

JungleFever · July 29, 2009 4:39PM

The $2700 sale is certainly newsworthy.....for a cent, that would get the public's interest and give the summer news slowdown something different.

Who wants to submit that to the news? Any retiree's have time to do that??

FloridaBill · July 29, 2009 4:59PM

I opened two boxes last night...one was4/27 and the other was 4/29....

Between the two, there were 16 CDDR-001 and 18 CDDR-002....

Bought each box from eBay at ~$32~
