New Top 50 List for Website

[Brad]

I created a new Top 50 list for the website. I do this every year.

You can view it here: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Top50.html

Additions: 1927 D/D rpm 1, 1953 D/D rpm 1, 1988 Reverse of 89
Subtractions: 1956 omms, 1941 Large S

Big moves up: 1917 ddo 1 from 24 to 12
1994 ddr 1 from 43 to 35

Big moves down: 1951 d/s omm 1 from 29 to 42
1951 d/s omm 1 from 30 to 43

I'm not sure how many please use the list, but I think it is fun

Brad,
I can't speak for anyone else but I use most of your lists, price guides, references, reference sites, etc alot. They are printed out and hung on my peg board next to my computer and I refer to them often. I look forward to the updates and appreciate the time and effort you put into them.

Brad, this site as a whole is invaluable as are your lists. The lists often help establish a context for various varieties for newer collectors. Not having constructed lists such as this I can only imagine the difficulty in constructing them and thank you for taking the time to update the list yearly. It looks great - nevertheless, I will put my two cents in and promote 2006P DDO-003 (1DO-017) and 1995D DDO-003 for inclusion on next year's list...

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad people are getting some use of these. It helps motivate me to keep working on the site, which is difficult this time of year with school. Spring Break right now!

Both of those are good suggestions. I am restrited by my top 50 rpm and top 50 ddo lists. I would like to try to keep those consistent. It would make no sense to have the those above other doubled dies in one list and not the other. Does that make sense. If I ever update the top 50 ddo list the 95 D will move up for sure. The 2006 I will have to think about. Both big 2006 ddos seem to have lost steam lately.

The lists and pictures are always a great resource when I want to check out different varieties. Thank you for all the time and expertise you share with all of us.

I see your point and didn't even think to factor in your DDO list. One day, when you have time to update, the '95D surely needs to move up both in terms of strength of doubling and the rarity factor. Plus, it's maybe the nicest Denver DDO out there. The '06P 1DO-018 (DDO-004) should probably move down if not come off the list IMO, as it has certainly lost its luster. My feeling about '06 DDO-003 is that it has suffered two problems: it is still off many collector's radar as it just hasn't gotten much attention (e.g., it is not in the Redbook or the CPG) and while the population is still under 50 known, the fact that a few sellers on eBay were selling them one after another and several at a time. On two occasions during 2008 there were four up at once!

BTW, speaking of your DDO list, do you need a picture of '47P DDO-001?

Yes. I also need nice pics of almost all the 72 ddos if you are up for it.

How many shots of each DDO do you need? I can do it tomorrow (spring break for me too)... BTW I still don't have '72P DDO-004...

I would like to make a page for each. So like 4 of each would be great. I would let you borrow my ddo 4, but I don't have one either. This would be a great help. One pic of the 47 is fine.

Brad, I use just about everything on this site and frequently. It is user friendly, accurate and everything a collector needs. I think the only other site I use more is CC. Thank you for a great site and all your hard work.
