1943-D Nickle DDO-1 1 1

I believe this is the DDO-1 off of Varity Vista. The question I have is would it be better to send this into ANACS to have it attributed rather than NGC since they don't have it listed in the variety plus section? Thanks

I believe that ANACS might be the only service that will attribute that one. I, for one, see nothing there.

The E R T Y in liberty isn't doubled? They display splitting in the serifs on the uppers

I am not sure how it works for grading. You may have to send it to Wexler's first for a verification then to ANACS.

Just so you understand where I am coming from on this topic, I don’t take Wexler’s word for much. Yes, some of his attributions are fine. But I’m sorry but I think some also are completely bogus. For me personally, if it isn’t in the Red Book or even the Mega Red, I have no interest in it as a variety.

NGC will not attribute something that minor. It's nearly impossible to discern.

   This does appear to be a doubled die, but if so, it is a very minor one that isn't most collectors' "cup of tea".  If this is what you enjoy, more power to you, as these sorts of varieties are a lot easier to "cherry-pick" than the better-known varieties and can be purchased for no premium.  You can simply put in your own holder and note the attribution.  If you want to see if ANACS will attribute and grade it, you should ask them; but you should ask yourself whether it's worth it to you to do so.

[VKurtB]

It’s the attribution that is a questionable call. The grade itself will be pretty impressive.

I think you have a DDO there but minor. What I think is impressive though is the coin looks to have full steps. I like the coin, really sharp and nice pick up!

This is not a DDO-001.................your best bang for your buck is to send this to NGC for grading...  She is a very high grade Jefferson .....any Jefferson collector would be proud to have it.

I agree it is a nice coin 65 or 66 IMO the only down mark is a rim hit at 8 o'clock on the reverse and a couple other bag marks. It may just not grade enough to justify the cost but that is up to you.
