That is nice!! I remember finding mine, been awhile. I am still looking for the biggie (on the reverse). But I have stopped searching for awhile. Don't know for how long, I guess when that Burned Out feeling has left me. I have sold off all duplicates, rolls.
sets in folders, sets in tubes. My penny room is nearly empty but for my main collection and unknown RPM's and dbld dies to send into Bob soon. I still have those.
The biggest thing to ship out was the 208 rolls of RPM's. Gone! Gone!

This IS the big one for the year, no? Somebody mentioned a DDR for 1966??? Never heard of this one. Please elaborate!

I have never seen a ddr for the 1966. This is new to me for this find, if anyone has one please post a picture of it.

CONECA Errorscope Mar/Apr issue 1999 shows the DDR for 1966, 1-R-I CW. Very
expensive coin. One time Billy Crawford sent me a photo of the one he has. I
don't know why it isn't in more reference books. Back in 1999, MS60 was 100.00,
MS62 was 125.00, MS65 was 200.00. XF-AU was 50.00. Page 27 of that Errorscope has photo of one.
Really

A '66 DDR?...I have to see that ERRORSCOPE at some point and will have to make an extra point of looking at '66 reverses...
Anybody got a picture of a 1966 ddr from that errorscope? Or from ANYWHERE for that matter?? Im intrigued.

A picture of a 1966 DDR is in Billy Crwford's 'A Detailed Analysis of Lincoln Cent Varieties Vol 1'. I can not reproduce a copy of that pic, but the doubling on this coin is ONLY of the designers initials (FG). There are division lines towards the center of the die (Class 2).

That one is there Bob. The 1-R-I is not. trust me! There is one. I don't have a scanner.
If no one comes up with an image of this coin, I will send the photo to you and then you can put it on the forum so members can see. I have known of this coin for over 12 years, faithfully hunted for it. Keep the faith. I will send you the page from Errorscope anyway.

Watch your mail box, Bob. Thank you for your patience with me.

I didn't figure the one in Billy's book was the 1-R-1 Bill. I am trying to remember if I had ever seen the DDR you are referring to, and I am pretty sure I have not. I will take what you send me and make sure to get it publicized as much as possible.

Hi Bob,
That must be Billy's first book you're talking about- I just checked the CD and strangely, it's not on there- goes right from 1966 DDO to 1967 varieties. Is it as much spread as some of the 1960 DDRs or 1968-D DDR?
AgCollector
mustbebob
05-08-2010, 03:28 PM
No. This is really a pretty minor spread, but the fact that it is on a 1966 is really why it is in his book as varieties for that date were about non-exsitent. If it is not a pretty nice example, chances are you wouldn't even notice it.

Hi Patrick,
Let me add my congrats to you. It seems that you are doing a lot of roll- searching. I have come across a lot of 1966 cents but have just set them aside until I get some time to go through them. Thre must be some doubled dies among the handful I have. There are some gems in the 60s on which a lot of collectors have not yet placed much attention. Keep up
the great job you are doing. It helps everyone.

The spread on the coin is very nice as you will see as soon as Bob gets the photo of
it I mailed to him yesterday. Why this penny is not pictured more often is beyond me. It has always been on my Want List of the more elusive doubled dies that i have been working on since '99. I don't know what else to tell you. Most of you must have more rank than i have, but it seems i am only one that has ever seen a photo of one in print and an actual photo of a real one in a slab. Bear with me, oh great Forum Founders and Frequenters. I may be the son of a poor NE Missouri dirt farmer, but I know a few things.

It must be extremely rare- the only mention I'd heard of it was in Chuck's book in passing, something to the extent of "1966 has a very nice doubled die reverse..." but- pictures are scarce. I see CONECA has a listing, too, but that's about it for information about this guy. I'd love to see the picture you're sending Bob!

I get overly excited for short spells and don't mean to come across as being upset
with you folks. I wrote email to Bob last night and he said the photo has not gotten to him yet, but when it does he will post it. Waiting on the mail now. I sure do want every one to see it so they will know. I don't understand why so many collectors don't look at both obverse as well as the reverse also. 'Two sides to every coin".
I'm just pleading with you all to do this--take the time--look at both sides of every coin.
Whatever happened to the photos of this ddr???

Man I have quite a few BU rolls " 1966 " laying around... Maybe I should take a look....
The '66 DDR in my files is a minor showing on the designer's initials.
There is another '66 DDR, which I have not seen one yet, that exhibits a pretty strong Class I rotated hub doubling on all the periphery lettering. It was in an old Errorscope issue a long time ago. If you were to come across it you would not have any problems spotting the doubling on the lettering. I've looked at every '66 reverse I get my hands on and no joy yet.

I apologize here, Billy. I stated that you had one, I remember you sending me photo
back in '03 of one in a slab and you said something like "bet you haven't seen one of
these!" I had the picture of the one in Errorscope was my only sighting of one. Gonna be hard to find one nowadays, but we must keep the faith. Thank you for setting me straight here today.

No problem Bill. I been looking ever since I saw it in Errorscope and I know that you and other collectors have also been searching for it.
Obviously, it is one rare DDR to find. Hopefully, with more collectors more aware of it now, maybe somebody will hit the jackpot.
edited to add: This 66 DDR reminds me of another variety I have been looking for many years for but no joy. It's the 1990 1c DDO that is in Wexler's ARLC book. That's another nice doubled die and I must have looked at tons of 90 cents but no joy. Has anybody ever come across that DDO?

I do not have access to Wexler's book. What is the 1990 1c DDO? I should say where is the doubling? Thanks,

Pretty significant notching and separation lines are readily visible on the date and most of the letters of LIBERTY.
If you were to come across it, you wouldn't miss it. The doubling is pretty easy to spot.

Every time I look at a 1990P Lincoln, I hold my breath hoping to find that DDO...no luck...yet...
Funny, I was just thinking about that ddo (1990) yesterday, and I was going to start a thread on the subject. Apparently not too many ever found. Nice doubling on the bowtie as well.

I asked John about it a while back and he mentioned he has only seen the one specimen and was photographed many years ago.
To date, I have not heard of another one to the best of my knowledge.
Billy (dvn)
I always get somewhat suspicious when only one is found after all of these years. It certainly look legit from the photos, but there has got to be more found by now??

I understand what you're saying, but, I believe that is a legit DDO.
Look how long it took to find another 1992-P Close AM when it was first reported and with the one illustrated in my DVN #15 that only made the fourth finally found and I know a ton of collectors are searching heavy for that variety. Another example would be the 1966 strong DDR. That was first reported back in '99 and as far as I'm aware of, only that specimen has been found as well.
But, I agree, more have to be out there somewhere.
