You should be able to find a handful in every box you search. Keep the most significant and spend the rest.
The interesting thing is that many (most?) CRH enthusiasts overlook many of the better finds. A ‘60s Ddo or Ddr are normally more valuable than a...
That 1941 S Large S is probably the most valuable find in the box. The Large S is not a common find, so it's value is proportionate to it's...
Very common in the 80s. Some have the appearance of a train wheel. Riding the rail!
Somebody needs to establish a study: plan, protocol, summary report. A professional job to get to the root of this 1 cent problem.
Another thought - it could be that a coin or two was/were used to shim a wobbly table/stool/step ladder.
Not too bad...I caught a 1946 LWC in change today along with my first 2020D Jefferson (I'm sure if I were CRH, I'd have found many sooner). Fun...
I took a break too...lasted about 30 years. ;)
That's one you don't have to worry about. The WAMs were restricted to the Philly mint only. Do go nuts...until you have to!
Bradley - here's a link (PCGS Photograde Online - Estimating Coin Grades Has Never Been Easier) to a useful resource you can get online. But...
Here's a link to the RDV designs - Reverse Design Varieties (varietyvista.com)
That's the correct RDV for the date and strike type. CAM.
I've never seen a satisfactory answer for the groove under the outer devices. Given how much material is flowing at the point of coining, it is...
Mintmark is fine (or was), but as noted by our fellow enthusiasts, plating blisters and the effects of hydrozincite are prevalent.
A high grade 1942 D is worth more than a 1942 P/S Silver, but your specimens don't appear to be high grade. 1942 D specimens were an Achilles...
Here's the link to Coppercoins. See if you have the reference markers. Pics are too magnified to confirm alignment, but the mark at 2:30 on the...
This was going to be cast out at the LCS when I stumbled upon it. 1956-D/D RPM 3. Sometimes we are in the right spot...right time. [ATTACH]
You're not missing...they are. That is unfortunate. You could press them further...escalate to the person in charge, but you might end up...
Note: the best diagnostic for that year is IN GOD WE TRUST...not the date. If your cent looks normal IGWT...then it's not the biggie for the date.
