    1994P-1DR-015

    This one looks like CC's 015 and W's 013 but no markers found. Thanks for looking.

    Excellent find Larry and the coin is in great shape!! I don't know how many of these I have checked but have always come up empty. Is this a tough variety or just hard to find one in good enough condition to tell?

      Very nice DDR Larry J! Congrats! I'm in the same boat as Jon... seems like most of the 94's I see are pretty rough looking - makes me wonder what was going on in the world in 1994 that caused so many of them to get so dirty and damaged! Then... once in a blue moon you see one that looks nice - but it's not the nice looking DDR that you have! I have found one of these and it's not pretty like yours!

        Thanks Jon and Vivien!! My theory is that I have a better chance of finding a high value variety on an extra fine or better coin because they have been in circulation less and, therefore, have been subjected to searches less.

          Thank you for your theory explanation Larry J! Makes me want to just pull the shiny Memorials out of this brick to search and take all of the grungy ones back! But... what it one of the grungy ones is a 99 WAM or something better? Heck... might as well look

            I agree Vivien about looking at all of them, but I have a higher expectation when seeing a high quality memorial. Now, concerning the grungy ones, I usually look at them as ones that have been less scrutinized and possibly more rewarding.

              Yes Sir, I agree with you! Sometimes the ones that look kinda grungy in hand, look at lot better up close - especially if it's a variety!

                LKOR is still in the building... Nice find Larry... A new die stage maybe??? I see what looks like the die gouge at the base but I do not see any of the obv markers... Either an earlier die stage with no obv merkers or a later with a different obv die???
