Just Carl, I see a picture of the poor man's doubled die for 1955 on page 197 of the second edition of Charles Daughtrey's "Looking Through...
Hamman88, I'm not sure if you search halves or not but finding proof halves for whatever reason is much easier than any other denomination. For...
I agree- it looks like close AM to me. Though the A and M are not quite touching, they're still too close to be wide AM. I can't quite tell on...
Yeah, I know what you mean. There's really two issues- the bubbles, which I've also heard are from gas in the annealing process, and die fatigue,...
I was under the impression that most bullion buyers keep "junk silver" in coin form, because there is a ready market for it, because there is a...
Thanks everyone for the comments! Larry, I believe it's the first one given in the CONECA listings, 1-O-II-E; FS-01-1971-101 (031), because the...
I used to do that too but because most die varieties like this one don't stand out to most people, you have a better chance of finding something...

While looking through cents on Monday I found my first example of a 1971 DDO, in what I'd guess is probably XF grade. Just thought I'd share.
We're all thinking about this way too hard, and I think it's a trick question, since he never says what form the $1,000 is in that is to be...

Picked this up at a coin show over the weekend for $0.10- best find of the show!
I've been trying to find folders for canadian cents and nickels locally and haven't had any success- where did you get these, if I may ask?
Frank- out of curiousity, what varieties have you found? Just one denomination or multiple ones?
Are those P&D sets you sold? Because wouldn't that be $15 face for the clad coins, plus 5-40% ('65-'69) silver and 2-90% ('64) silvers, which...
Not to criticize, just to clarify- your understanding of "type set" is not the commonly understood definition in coin collecting (hence some of...
Finally a found a 1970-S small date Lincoln cent.
Thanks for the response- gives me hope that I might find some of the really tough ones, like the '31-S Frank mentioned. That's a nice looking 1914-D!
Thanks everyone for the kind words! For the curious- my bank has a counting machine that they use when people bring in change, and the machine...
