I just found it without question!!!!!!!!! I decided to go to the bank behind the fire station and get $4.00 in cents to look through and in the second roll (BAM ) all the die markers match up perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera to work yesterday so I will have to wait until tomorrow to post pics but it is Awesome!!!!:eclipsee_gold_cup::eclipsee_gold_cup:: eclipsee_gold_cup:

I bet you did! To be able to find a major die like that in rolls will be one of the highlights of your collecting days. I wish you many more exciting finds in the future, but I am willing to bet this will be one of the best. Again, many congratulations on a stunning find. What sort of condition is it in?
By the way, I will change the heading of your post to reflect the DR rather than DO...OK?

Thanks Bob for fixing the Title!! I was so excited I just screwed it up. I will post pics and see what you all think as far as grade as soon as I get back home.
I will probably want to professional grade and slab it. I have no idea how to do that. I have only been searching for errors about 3 weeks!!!!

Hey Engine- Congratulations! I've searched hundreds of thousands cents out of circulation, NEVER found a major doubled die!!

On the subject of certification- I have an '83 DDR I was going to be sending in for certification along with some other stuff. As a congratulations present, I'll slab yours for you (If you plan on keeping it) for free. Just PM me.

Great find!!!

Pretty freakin' nice. Grade..? Ballpark guesses only. Coin-in-hand exam is necessary. (I'm horrid at this game anyway.)

Very nice find.
