Been searching for one now for over ten years, and finally have an example to call my own! The major DDR for 1968D, now referred to as 1968D-1DR-001. Photos of another example are in the book (Looking Through Lincoln Cents) under 1968, but now I have my own example of this RARE beast! This is the first major and rare doubled die I've ever found. It came from a junky "BU" roll of 1968D, the rest of which went into change. All of the coins in the roll were RB, and this one is a nice MS64RB.

Photos on the site later of this nice DDR.
