Henri Charriere Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Check out Variety Plus - "a comprehensive guide of NGC-recognized varieties." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Presumably, these varieties were created by different obverse dies. The descriptions for these varieties on VarietyPlus indicate that each variety shows die doubling in the date and the motto. Only the entry for FS-101 includes an image of the motto for that variety, but there are images of the date for both varieties. The FS-101 shows somewhat stronger doubling on the date numerals in a slightly different direction from the VP-007. This is why I generally stick to varieties listed in the Red Book and other major guides, especially for post-1837 coinage. Many of the lesser varieties are difficult to discern and sometimes confusingly similar to each other. Henri Charriere and powermad5000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sandon Posted September 7 Popular Post Share Posted September 7 By the Red Book I mean the annually published standard edition of A Guide Book of United States Coins. "Other major guides" would include the Deluxe or "Mega Red" edition of the Red Book, CPG and Coin World. None of them lists any doubled die obverse variety for 1963 Roosevelt dimes. I have found that most varieties not listed in such guides, including many of those that are listed in The Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties, are just too minor to attract the attention of many collectors. powermad5000, tj96 and Henri Charriere 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebo Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Agree with @Sandon. One of the coins in my collection has over twenty varieties itself. Too many to have real meaning in my opinion. While the CPG is a fun way to look for varieties, the Red Book is more than enough for my taste. tj96 and Henri Charriere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 FWIW: There is such a coin listed on eBay described as follows: 1963 DDO VP-007 Roosevelt dime, NGC-certified MS-65, Top Pop, only 1 graded for $895. Lesser grades are listed in the hundreds of dollars. Unfair Question: if the coin is fairly well unique at that lofty grade, how is its FMV established? If other examples come along -- Yes, even 60+ years later, what can their existence expect to do insofar as impacting on price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
