Also - I have a lighted hand held loop for taking to the LCS or antique shops nearby. Mine has a 10x and 30x loop with LED light. I keep that on...
An inexpensive AmScope with 20x magnification. The particular scope I have can go to a higher magnification but I never use it. And I only use...
More laundromat finds for @71Avalon - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/more-laundromat-finds.410054/ !
Laundromats are cyclers of change. Fresh inputs that are reprocessed in coin changers with the rest going to the bank. It’s a good spot to make...
Possibly. But I’m wondering about design transfer from a clash.
Not overthinking…under processing. Create a checklist to work through. Does the MM have the proper characteristics ( split serifs, location)...

As I mentioned, this is the second 1969 S DDO I’ve seen reported in a forum. It happens. I’ve not made a $10,000 find. But I’ve found a...
I wasn’t aware. I’ll keep an eye out.
I’m betting it’s legit. This find will make it into remaining periodicals and websites. There are so few of these that a find is real news....
Time for a new avatar!!
Incredible find, Beth!! I think it’s legit from the RDV markers. Jackpot!!
A couple of things: Doubled die coins can be minted with late stage dies with significant deterioration. They can also display machine damage....
This is a common 1939 with the proper RDV. If it had a 1938 RDV it would have more value. Keep an eye open for those. I don’t see a DDO or a DDR...
Same ODV. As noted, aging dies can create subtle differences but the design remains the same.
Exactly!! Lol
I can usually ID the spot I snag an obvious collectible but not always. And almost never on a minor variety. They emerge out of the accumulated...
Some change I’ve accumulated on vacation - [ATTACH]
