1936 DDO FS101-103

[Bassfish11]

Hello,
I was deep diving in my collection the other day and found some 1936 wheats that came in someone’s collection I bought years ago. After matching up split serifs and and other features on the coins I think I have put together the full set of three. The coins are well worn which for me can make it a little tougher for identification. Would you mind taking a look and giving me some feed back? I hope I got it right but need a second opinion. Thank you so much!

Always nice to cherrypick ones own collection. Sorry, can't tell from your pictures but I'm not an expert either. You're looking in the right spot though. Others will chime in.

Sweet. Thanks for the comment. Always appreciated. It’s taken five years to even realize I had them.

No problem. The same thing has happened to me with my collection. Thanks to forums like this one, I have found things I never knew I had. : )

Unfortunately, none of these are the doubled dies referenced on the flips. All three doubled dies have a broken R over full R on LIBERTY. None of these have that. The first one has a normal R, the second has the broken R only, and I can't tell on the 3rd. The doubling is easy to spot on the genuine varieties. I would look at the varieties in the link below, and you would be able to see why yours are not the noted varieties.

Wow. Ok. I’ll take a look. I thought I had that nailed too. The excessive wear of the coin makes it further difficult for me to discern split serifs and other identifying marks on the coin. Thank you I really appreciate your feedback. Going to check out your link now. I can t be making mistakes like that.

Bassfish11,
I have pulled a number of all three1936 DDO's and some of them were extremely worn and beat up, but even then you can see the doubling. It's unmistakable when you see the genuine article. Good luck with your hunt.
