Hi all i would like to talk about the UNDER RATED 2004-D doubled die reverse the BIG ONE with the EPU and the top of the ROOF on the right hand side. This to me is a very HARD coin to locate in the 5 years i been doing this i ONLY have (1), so why is it a very under rated coin in our great hobby?.
I'd say most of it has to do with marketing/exposure.To tell the truth,I had to look this one up...and the prices look pretty good to me. But if it's not in high demand by the registry collectors or written about by the big names, you're just not going to see prices skyrocket.This is an area Chris (liveanddievarieties) has a lot of knowledge on..maybe he'll chime in.
There is a much bigger 2004P doubled die reverse for that year. In addition, doubled die reverses have to be big-major to command any generalist attention. This one just doesn't cut the mustard for the generalist collectors to have any interest at all.
There are a vast number of doubled dies and repunched mintmarks for which there is but one or two coins known to exist. Anything that has more than a dozen population is either rather common or is very popular. Most of the lesser popular die varieties don't get hunted, thus don't get found.

I would like to thank you both for your reply on this and i will just hang on to it maybe some day in the near future it will get the attention. It is a really nice doubled die for that year i was also surprised that i found it here in Pa.
I found one of these and couldn't give it away, actually I did finally give it away to Brad for an LCR contest. What do you think it should be worth Patrick? Then flip it around- would you spend that much of your own paycheck to buy this variety?
I agree with Chuck completely when he says that DDRs have to be really major to attract interest from the general public. This one has always been minor in my book, I know that you've been awed by it for some time, it was actually you Patrick, about 2 years ago that brought this one's existence to my attention. But I'm still underwhealmed by it (no offense man!).
When I was first on LCR, I asked in a very thread, why this one was listed with such value- answer was that it was an amazing discovery in the single-squeeze era, but now there are dozens of amazing dies for it to contend with. From my perspective, this is a minor variety and always will be, you've gotta have strong collector demand to command a respectable premium and I've never run across anyone with this coin on their want list.
