I definetly enjoy looking too, especially when they look AU. I would enjoy finding something.....anything more! The search goes on! Showed my husband the 69s that went for 124K  , he flipped!. Now he is more willing to endure my endless quest & even having pennies EVERYWHERE!!

I assume the pedigree on the holder is Col. E. H. Green? That guy owned about everything.

Great find!  I've run into dramatic RPDs and DDOs in plain view at shows. Here is the 1887 DDO Snow-1, found in a 2x2 (I apologize for the enormous pic)

Sorry to bring up an old thread but curious. As stated before I'm not an IHC collector but wouldn't this be considered "longfellow doubling"?

"Longacre doubling" is seen as an outline around devices on earlier IHCs. These ended in 1886. On this IHC, the telltale signs are a directional offset and the split serifs on the E. Here's a better grade 1887 Snow-1 where the split serifs are even visible on the C:

Longacre doubling is different, it shows on both sides with the design centered. On that 1887 the shift is CCW and only that direction not centered like Longacre doubling. The 1887 is a nice doubled die.

That's ok. Longacre doesn't care anymore... or Longfellow for that matter 
What would Longfellow doubling be? a double entendre? Mixed metaphor? 
OK I'll stop...

It's a good topic to bring up, because many IHCs with Longacre outlines are sold as DDOs on eBay. Somebody may find this thread and save themselves the trouble.

Kurt, It's been a few days, but I finally finished the majority of the coins in my notebook pages, checking for RPD's, MPD's, and anything elsr of interest, (not the REV). I don't care for the Longacre Doubling!
Bad thing about that feature, is that it goes to the end of the IHC series.
I did come up with between 35, and 40 RPD's/MPD's, plus four that have to go to Rick for attribution. None of them are in the "Book", so they could be a new variety. That 3/3/3s, is one of them.
I will help them update the consensus, next time it comes up. When I do get ready to send the list, I will also take oictures of them, and then they will be available to be posted on this site. I'm trying to clear my desk for the next batch of IHC's that come in. I have to play it cool, because there is no COLA this year, (2010). That extra money isn't much, but it always helps.
regards,
Dick

Dick, I hope those discoveries pan out. Besides, if one Book is the final word, that's a boring and dogmatic way of looking at IHC variety collecting. Unless of course, you only care about established market values.
On that note, we should remember that it took ~80 years for collectors to "discover" the 1873 DDO and the 1888/7--and those are darn obvious IHC varieties!

Kurt, it is more a thing of " The thrill of the hunt", rather than what I get after the hunt has ended. Like i have said, re gold prospecting, I still have every grain of gold that we found. It has no "sale value', to me. it was just a satisfaction of having found it. The same here in the IHC varieties. I have no inkling of the value of any of my varieties, and dion't really care. my interest is in finding them! I guess that is one of the reasons I will never be a rich man.
I mentioned there is a triple 3 in one of the unknowns. There is also a triple 7, that is known, but I need to have confirmation on it, because there is another digit involved, and it is very weakly seen on my coin, and "mentioned" as a "microscopic re-punching, but without the attow pointing at the area of concern. I don't have, or know about the '73 DDO, but I have the 1887 DDO. I was going to say I have the '88/'87, but that is not true, yet. Who knows what will show up in the next months ahead, because I will be getting the rest of the dates that are pending,(other than the 1877, and 1909-S. I still need the '58's, and '59's, The '64L-69, and the rest. I got most of the '70's recently. I will pick up another batch around the end of the month, and another in January. All from the same source. The later batches will have the '90's, so the timing is right for the new book from Rick. This set of batches, when finidhed, will give me about five, or six full sets, ( minus the '77, and the '09-S. then it will be a change of operation, to get higher grades for the ones I have. Time consuming,but it does keep me busy.Regards,
Dick
