1938 DDR (NEW)

[Copper_Crazy]

Also found out in same lot of 10 1938 red BU coins, 3 nice DDR's. All coins are the same (probably out of an orignial roll) with a nice medium to strong spread on the wheat tips, dots and EPU. A very bold and distictive die crack through the right dot and lettering makes an easy marker for this NEW DDR. Steve

That one is on the borderline of being too minor to list - but it is listable.

By nature most class 6 doubled dies won't be very exciting but this one is a decent example.

Hey, while we are at it, let's get rid of all class VI reverse doubled dies, they are uninspiring or better still do away with all the reverse doubled dies, for hardly any looks at the back of coins, well maybe keep the 1983P-1DR-001, for you can see that one if you have good eyes. And while we are at it, lets get rid of all those obverse doubled dies that you can not see without the aid of a loop, I mean, what is the use, if you can not see it, it isn't worth but its real worth.

By the way, who needs those copper cents anyway, they can't buy anything and are just a pain, like those stupid nickels. And the dime is to small, even tinier than the cent and it wont buy a stick of gum. Get rid of them. The quarter, it is just a government gimmick to try and teach us all that state stuff and a half dollar, who has seen one of those? The dollar coins, what a laugh, ugly and weigh your pockets down, give me the paper stuff and let those people down south of the boarder use them metal dollars.

Getting where a buck wont buy much of anything any more and a fin hardly covers the tip to my barber. A ten, good for McD's, but if I bring along a pal then Jackson I'll use. I don't ever see Grant any more, so give me a wallet full of good old Ben and the hell with the change.

But wait, that is why I have this plastic card. Zip it through the slot, enter my number and I don't have to worry about change weighing my pocket down, small bills crushuing the pictures of my girl friend or hurting the other plastic cards that I carry.

You want to do what, implant a coded plastic strip in my arm so I wont have to fool with those plastic cards, so it will track all that I make, all that I earn and never have a fear of loosing it for it is now a part of my body? Yeah, go ahead, I mean we don't got money to worry about, and all those plastic cards in my back pocket just make my butt look larger and this way, if I want to streak, I can stll stop at McD's and get a burger, just got to pass my arm through the dector.

Sorry, didn't know it was illegal to own money any more. My great-great-great grand dad used to collect those little metal discs. Could never figure out how they were used. Use to trade them for stuff you say? How antiquated, how did they ever survive. Why yes, I can pay the fine for having these, just let me look into the eye scanner.

BJ, you jest at the moment, but how little we realize how close to the "chip implant" we are!
I'm glad I'm my age, and won't have too learn how to "get along in the new world", when it comes. It will be nice to be avle to have anything one wants, and pay nothing for it, because everything will be "mental, not material"! I refer to 2550 AD Just think, one having a full set of gem BU coins from evry country that ever used coinage!
And now back to 2007, or what's left of it!
Have a nice day!

Scary to think of. Someday they'll be collecting old credit cards or ID implant strips.

No wonder it often seems the things from the past were better and even the times were better. "the good old days"

Part of our hobby is a way to hang onto "those good old things"

If you think it would be handy using fingerprints and arm chips, just remember. They hack into your computer, steal your cards/money/anything they can drag off. What would keep them from severing an arm or thumb just to get the way through the system to get what you had.

[wavysteps2003]

I did the first part in jest, however, Coop's thought is a fesible crime.

Two answers; a bio-machine circutry chip (we are close to that) that is not functional without the heart (electrical pulse) supplying the energy. That function is one of the many that is unique in every human.

The second more distant answer is a brain implant that monitors all conditions of the body and can recieve and transmit data by light emitting bio circuits.

Of course, as technology advances, it is kept pace with ways to counteract it or "cheat the system".

Actually, I think this DDR is a probably a better than most just because the dots are both elongated and thick, it is rather obvious except the pics don't show it very well. As far as "ignoreable varieties" what about the 1960 RPM's? How many of the 161 should be ingnored? At least there are only 4 1960-D DDO's to deal with. Steve
