Let's See Your Cherry Picks....

Have a coin that you knew that there was more than met the eye?
Let's see your cherry picks....and hear how you kept a poker face until the deal was done... Post them stories...
Here's one I found today at a show an 1876 MPD -001 Misplaced date in the denticles.

One other one found today a buffalo nickel 1935 P FS-801 a DDR.

 

Here's one of my more recent ones..

1910-S Lincoln Cent PCGS MS-63BN Unattributed S/S RPM FS-502.

 

I know everyone probably get's tired of this one. But it was and probably will remain my biggest cherrypick of all time.

 

<1853> H-10 bisected die crack

 

1971 -S Proof toned RPM

 

RPD. Nothing special. I just thought it was cool.

 

DDO with an off center clash on the reverse.

 

DDO

 

1884 IHC Star in Reverse shield top left corner there's a device that looks like an misplaced star. Snow #1

 

1889 IHC MPD A Snow #4

 

another 1876 SLQ MPD

 

1862/1 US Silver 3 Cent pc.

 

Two very cool 1869 RPD Shields nickels

 

How about a variety that made the cover of the Cherrypickers guide.....but wasn't listed in the book? An 1847 large cent with a large 7 over small 7.

 

This is a recent addition that I just photographed for the under $50 thread but this may be more appropriate - a raw Coneca DDO-004/ Wexler DDO-008. The most impressive spread for a 1940-S Mercury.

 

Large cents are fun.

 

So true Larry ,as the porpoise of this thread to make others aware.
How many collectors have these or others that add a huge interest to their collections? Not to mention extra meat on the bone should they sell.
Not everyone is a variety collector ,that's not what they collect , but what if they discovered that one coin of their set was a real raw variety ? I hope others post their variety coins to educate , as to the possibility of a major score.
