In June I was hunting through a bag for 2500 wheat cents which I won off usauctiononline.com. I find what I believed to be a double die, I sent it off to ANACS with some other coins since they had a special going for 10 coins for 109 free shipping plus the fee to have it verified, and the cent came back as A 1941-P DDO FS-102 DIE 2. I will share some pictures when I get it back.
Thank you for all your videos Daniel, they inspired me to put in more time and effort to learn what to look for to find varieties.

Re: Another find
Nice find Claude - but as a future note - if you post pictures here before sending in a coin, it could save you some money as we could likely ID it for you. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Re: Another find
I should be getting that coin a long with some others back next week. Even though the DDO isn't that high of a grade, it will still be fun for me to have it graded and encapsulated for my personal collection. It is one of those things I will hold onto. It kind of reminds me of the first bass I caught when I was a kid back in the 90s that my parents had mounted and I still have to this day. It will be good to have a graded example in hand of what a DDO for 1941 looks like for future purposes. I have bags of wheat cents dated from 1909-1919, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s which I need to go through and check at some point.

Re: Another find
@Earle42 I actually wanted to get the coin graded anyways since it was my first double die find and ANACS had a special going that I was already planning to submit coins for. I knew it was a double die before I sent it off, the verification was just to attribute it on the holder. Though I didn't know exactly which DDO it was. I think the coin will get back to me this coming week, then I will be able to provide pictures.

Re: Another find
Here are some pics I've taken so far, I will try to get more of the doubled areas later that might be a bit better. I have been busy with a job interview this morning and then I have an appointment with a orthopedic surgeon this afternoon.
