    Very Elusive 1996 DDO # 1

    Additional Information
    Date: 1996
    Variety: DDO
    Mint: Philadelphia

    Probably my last acquisition for the year. Unlike some of you here I could not find, pick ,or locate one of these and so when it was offered I jumped on it. A bit of Obv corrosion, but otherwise, in decent shape. Enjoy

    Verry nice, I wouldn't call that tiny spot corrosion, it's only a spot. I bet that can grade a mid/lower unc grade no problem.

    Yes raw, I will be sending it in to PCGS. There is a chance it will go Genuine. But it still fills a hole. If by chance it does grade - it will be only the second one graded by PCGS.

    Congrats. That's a very desirable coin and one that I am still searching for also.
