Box of cents = $25 worth. Just ask for a "box of pennies".
I think Speedy's about right with the price of $1- at least that's around what they sell for on eBay.
It can't be good for it! Seriously, though, if you're just looking for a cheap example of this variety it's probably not a bad deal, though I'm...
Another Point to Consider A point that hasn't been brought up yet, to think about for those of you who think the dealer (as originally described)...
I collect Lincoln cent DDOs, DDRs, and other varieties (small date/large date, wide AM, etc) but exclusively from circulation; I'll also...
I remember you mentioned this sometime last year and afterwards I started picking up some US 1980's commemorative silver on eBay for right around...
Any coin can have strike doubling. I would doubt that all the 1969-S DDOs have strike doubling, though.

Nice picture! I just got a QX5 myself and am having lighting issues... could you describe (or better yet photograph) the external light source...

Nice image! Do you use any additional light source? My pictures just look washed out when I turn up the brightness on the microscope.
They are straight (although cropped) from the QX5, no touch-up. The lighting issue, well- it's something that needs to be tinkered with; I've...
Yeah, I kind of chuckled to myself when I read that!
Got a QX5 digital microscope from my wife for Christmas (ok, she had some help picking it out!) and here are the first few images- from 1971 and...
Well, not to drag up an old argument unnecessarily, but here's my take on it, as per the previous 1942/1 thread: My understanding is that the...
Can you scan them?
Jack- I think the cause was sorted out to everyone's agreement and the dispute was more whether to call it an "error" or a "variety".
