    Rarest varieties

    I thought it might be fun to start a thread about the top 3 varieties you most want to find roll hunting or cherrypick. And those you can check off you found list. Found: 1973 DDO # 1 - wanted to find this one so so bad. Almost impossible to find. Very few examples exist. Graded Anacs 55 Found: 1910s rpm #2- cherrypicked from dealer. Anancs ms62. Sold Now PCGS AU 55. Found: 1922 no d weak reverse - got it back it change. Now Pcgs EF 45. Want: 1996 DDO # 1- I keep looking. Really a hard to impossible coin to locate. Want: 1972 DDO #4 - I need it to complete the run. I have found several with the reverse . Want: 1966 DDO#1 - I have had the chance to buy a few over the years. Most were just to low grade or so spotted up.

        My 3 are what most would consider "usual suspects":
        1. 1955P-1DO-001
        2. 1972P-1DO-001
        3. 1982P-1DR-001

                  I make my living looking through bank rolls, finding and selling cherry pickers and better varieties. We've gone through a lot of rolls and have found a majority of the good stuff, some multiple times, but there is still a few I haven't found....yet. Those would be Top Shelf rarest of the rarities, ie, 1992 CAM, 69-S, etc. After finding so many of the so called impossible finds, I'm convinced it's just a matter of time and rolls before I find the rest. Hows that for optimism?

                        1. 1958P-1DO-001
                        2. 1969S-1DO-001
                        3. 1955P-1DO-001
                        I would call these the top three I would like to find.

                            Interesting that you mention the 1942. It seems like out of all the FS listed DDOs this is one of the scarcest that's not a well known big dog. I never see people mention it but it's a really scarce coin and deserves special attention.
