Gription,
If you're into the 22-Ds maybe you can tell me this. I remember years ago people were selling all 3 dies of "no D" plus the weak Ds plus what they called "broken D" or some people were calling them die-5. Do you know about those? Are any of yours the "broken D"? I think it had a crease through the D that looked like a hit but wasn't a hit. They weren't that scarce so there must be a few in your batch. If you have one please post a pic 
Maybe the 24-d would be another good one to add to your hoard?
It seems that 24-D in decent-high grades are TOUGH to get and they seem to trying to sneak from being a semi key to almost be a key in the serries.
Years ago there was a guy hoarding 32-D cents, many coin magazines had his adds to buy them. It was clear someone decided they could be hoarded and made rare. I wonder what happened to the hoard, he must have had tons of them

i actually had an older gentleman once ask me about a broken D variety, but i immediatley thought of this old book i've got - 'major variety & oddity guide' which was printed in '63.
it goes way overboard with technicalities for pretty much every date in every series.. things like 'slanted 1', 'filled MM', 'micro shifts', 'broken #'s', 'broken MM's', etc etc etc - so when he brought it up i thought of this book and i guess i lumped it into the 'overboard' category, and just figured it was kind of like those 'goiter neck' coins.. ever heard of those? i think '24S lincolns had em? basically something that was once considered to be something, but over time just didn't amount to anything of any real signifigance.
who knows though.. i've never seen one, never really looked. never even heard the term since until now.

yeah those, and the 11S, are quickly becoming bigger coins aren't they? just a couple years ago they were like $20, now they're all around $50. it's been fun watching them climb so fast. i do have a batch, but nothing i'd call a hoard.. like half a tube or so at best.

i've heard stories like that about the 32D too, my boss/68 year old buddy has a little hoard as well.. he's always said they're better than you'd think, but since we're in MN we somehow see more than most of the country. to me they're almost common, i've sold tons of solid rolls actually.
i even heard of a guy that's out there hoarding those '82 washington 90% silver commems with hopes of making them rare. good luck

That is quite a little hoard. Very impressive. I once had a 1922 No D, VF20. Interesting coins.

I also have a copy of the major variety and oddity guidebook 6th edition. I purchased it in the mid 70's (when I was about 10 yrs old) because of the 72 ddo but never really got into searching. I found a few bie coins but I wish I pursued it further then. I remember rolling stacks of pennies and turning them into the bank with my parents. We also had some silver dollars that were taken to the bank also!!

I am starting to tear up.  I was into collecting coins when i was in grade school in the 60's, mostly from my dad's change dish. I was very aware of the '55 doubled die, but when I was in my senior yr of high school in 1972, coin collecting was on the back burner and I had no idea there was a '72 doubled die out there.
