That date is off the hook....the 0 is so off as well as the other digits . Very cool find.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the size of the market for these? How easy are they to sell and is there much of a difference between graded and raw if you can get a good picture of the relevant details?

 

1975S Roosevelt Rpm FS-501

 

Love the 51/81. It's the first variety I ever bought unknowingly. I always look for them now.

 

Sure an 1847 /7 cent in xf $350.,1851/81 xf $200., 1955/1955 Lincoln cent in xf. $1600.,
1939 Jefferson nickel ddr in xf. $125. 1942 D/ horizontal D in xf. $200. 1942/3 in xf. $80.
1942/1 Mercury dime in xf. $650.
And just about every series has some sort of variety . And of course I gave you across the board in xf. In higher grades some get moon money! The 1876 mpd seated quarter mpd-001 only 7 known now there's 8 .

Compare the same series and date to coins without the variety and I'm sure you'll understand How an 1942 Mercury dime in xf. Is worth $6.50 if it's the 2/1 - 100 times the non variety value.
So yes there's a huge market do some series bring higher returns yes..... however most show some increased value over the non variety date.

 

I understand there's a premium for these and some significantly more than others. My question though is if you had all of those coins you listed on eBay at the prices you listed, would they sell? Or would they sit there for months waiting for a variety collector to see it who had to have that coin? I know 42/41 mercury and 55/55 Lincoln have wider appeal so the misplaced dates and over dates of lesser known types are what I'm curious about.

 

One other point to be made.....is discovery coins....as Justin posted the 1919 I'm not sure if he found the first....? No matter as it's nice going to a Web site or picking up a book and seeing your name in print for the find!

 

Here's just another variety type an 1876 cc SLD #117 Type 1 an R-3

 

Two excellent examples of repunched dates on a shield and a V nickel. Nice Larry two thumbs up

 

seeing double vision..... double eye Jefferson

 

Nice thread. I've never considered collecting varieties but looking at most of the coins in this thread has been enlightening. Pretty cool stuff.

 

@ldhair: your Libnick is a nice RPD. Your shield is (alas!) just strike doubled, but it does have some interesting lathe lines through the annulet area and at the bottom of the shield.

 

You may already have just don't realize it yet.

 

Does cherry picking 2 bracelets from an old woman at a flea market count??

 

Seller's pics of a lot of ten CWTs I bought last month. Left column, fourth down is a F-54/342a Flip-over Doublestrike, listed as Rarity 9. Patience will let me sell off the rest of the lot and likely own this piece for free.

 

Nice find.

 

Bought this one as an AU damaged coin for $20.69. PCGS gave it MS-62.
