#1 Unread post by BMCvanderSluijs »

Hello everyone

I hope you are doing well.
I have found a 1969 D in my collection that may be DDO, please give your opinion.
If this is a DDO what can I do best with it.
How special is it?
Thanks in advance.

Bart van der Sluijs.

....... possible Very Minor doubling in your image, I would need to see it firsthand....

I do see a UVC-359 listed, with no confirmed coins across all die states, so quite possibly it is considered insignificant

Thanks Paul for the answer. Is the coin worth sending to pcgs / ngc?

I would not recommend having this coin encapsulated

It is an interesting find. Thanks for sharing the pics. I enjoyed looking at this Kennedy - a series I am quite fond of.

I agree with Paul. The coin is circulated and you wouldn't get an attribution if it isn't a variety that's recognized by the TPG. If it is (as Paul said) insignificant, then there would be no advantage in spending the money to have it slabbed. It would have to have a solid chance to get MS65 or better, without an attribution, to even begin to make sense in my thinking.

You want these in higher grades. If PCGS price guide has it listed then look at the grade it needs to be before it economical to have it graded. It is costly for variety attribution.
