I've been doing some research but haven't seen this article yet! Can you believe the opening bid was .99? This falls in line with what I've read so far. More 99D's found than P's. Still not very many of either two reported to TPG's as far as I can tell. Thank you for your help Chuck!
Really great find Viv! I'd still be shaking and doing the happy dance. Will be starting on a new box later today. Maybe another 84 P DDO coming my way; going for an even dozen.
Thank you very much George! You are right, I am still not believing it! So, the great 84P DDO race is on... hope you get the checkered flag!
That's a great find, I felt the same way when I found my close AM. Thought: is this real or what. I sent mine in to PCGS for grading. Again a super find.....................Dan
Thank you so much Dan! I didn't know you found a 92 CLAM! Did you find a P or D? Congrats Dan!!! You definitely know how it is then... first you have a heart flutters, then you rub your eyes (with some part of your hand that is clean LOL) then you wonder if it is for real... and it just gets better from there! I realized later that my dirty fingers are in the edge of the photo... hey I know you guys don't care, just shows I was working hard for it!
What happened to Jason Cuv.? He is no longer in LCR?. He buys coins off me time to time already and he is the best at taking coin pictures for sure...He must have the ultimate set up for coin pictures...

Jason does take awesome photos! Haven't heard from him lately, but his mother was not doing very well last time he was on the forum. I am sure he will be back when time permits! We miss him around here!
Update: Today I messaged Bob and asked if he would take a look at this 92D CLAM and he very kindly said "Yes" so I will be sending it to him this coming week! Thank you very much Bob!!!
That's interesting.
If both dies ran a full lifetime that would be a lot of coins (hundreds of thousands or a million) and I sort of doubt a mint worker would notice the difference.
The CLAMs are sure odd. There were billions of cents to hide among in 92, it's not easy for beginners to spot them and few people might even know to look but still they don't seem to turn up. I've never heard of anyone making a big find like a brick/bag with a bunch or even an OBW with multiples.

Thank you Ed! I checked Variety Vista but could not find anything there. I agree with you, the CLAMs are odd, it does seem like more would show up.
Have you checked yours against these two dies to see if they match either?
Yes Jon, and I am not seeing the die markers for either of the two dies listed. The die gouges for each die are small and maybe that's why I can't find them. I really appreciate Bob's help, I'm kind of stuck here!
Great job Viv!!!!! Congrats!! I am so happy for you. Nice to see another member have a very successful find!
Thank you very much Sheila! I never thought this one would land in my hands! This seems like a once in a lifetime kind of thing to me, I'm very grateful!

There may be some one sitting on bags of these and either do not know they have them or want the market value to stay high... I wonder if some one at the mint did notice, pulled the dies but some had already made it out of the mint???
