whats a 74D DD really worth?

[mr.theman]

I have found 6 of them but none that I would consider to be in MS condition. What can I really expect to get out of them? The few coin shops that I have been to had no interest in them. Is anybody here interested in them. I can post pics.

I don't know but she'd have a hard time standing upright.


DD What ?

Dime,Half, ?

My guess, unless it is a Very Obvious Doubling,
the dealers wern't intrested because it's too slight
to matter.

Sorry

I think he is referring to the 1974D double die half. It use to red book at $150 in MS63, but now is down from that. I think they are finding out it is more common than first thought, plus there is not a whole lot of interest (at least at this time) in the kennedy half series, so there is just not a lot of demand. If nothing else, put them on ebay and see what they might bring. I have found almost 120 of them, and plan on putting them on ebay a little at a time just to see what they might do. Even if I only got $5 each, I only paid .50, so would still get 10x what I paid.

good Choice Wayne.

EBayers will Pay.

and Even if they pay 50 Cents.

Handling Charges, could net a Couple Dollars

I see it done all the time on EBay.

Sell them as complete rolls...Would think you would get more on e-bay that way...Just a thought...

Might try that the first time I put some on. Talk it up as a possible future investment, and mention things like the 55 double die lincoln and the 72 double die lincoln. Who knows, might do something. I plan on keeping the 20 best condition ones as a roll for myself.

 

[mr.theman]

Sorry Jeff they are halves, my bad .

Wayne thanks for the info. Thats about what I figured on them. When I found my first one I got all kinds of excited, but then I found 4 more in the same night I thought "it can't be this easy"

Great find. I hope you do real well on them if you decide to sell them.

Well I have yet to find ONE. After 3-4,000 dollars worth of halves.
So they are not all that common.

 

[goldinmypan]

I just found 2 in my last box. That brings me up to 4 out of about $40,000 in halves. Now what I want to find is one in MS condition.

 

[RaptorSE]

I still have found NONE in $20,000+ worth. Seem rare enough to me LOL.

 

[killerwine]

This gives me hope! I got 2 rolls of them that were unc. in mint wrappers...I'll keep them as I am buying a HUGE safe for my office!
