Well, generally for me, assuming I even have the same die state, matching up with a written description of markers is a necessary but not...
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion- I had looked at that and saw what I thought was die scratches in the right place, but without a picture to...
Hi All, I recently found what I believe to be the 1957 proof quadrupled die obverse 5c listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide as FS-035.8 or...
I'm selling some extra variety and error cents I have on eBay- here's the list of them: Errors: 3 cuds die clash struck through die cap rotated...
My only big cherrypick was at a recent show: 1970-S BU small date cent for a large date price ($0.15). I was happy that day!

Richie- nice finds and way to go. I don't see anything wrong with what you did.
Google "jackson metals" along with "melting" and/or "cents" or "pennies". For example, one result: http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v10n45a20.html

Don't forget those nice 1983 doubled dies on the obverse, too!
Sounds like you are getting the hang of all the different RDVs! Regarding your 1984D cent, not to be overly pessimistic but because the mint...
Nice one- I couldn't think of any good rhymes off-hand other than methane, ethane, butane, "a crane", etc...
Not sure bout the andorians, but it's definitely not an RPM. Nice pictures, though!
Propane? Hmm... doesn't sound quite right!
It's a word you use to rub your smug sense of self-superiority in other's faces. Or, maybe he meant "meme" which means "an idea, behavior, style,...
The redbook is basically useless when it comes to varieties and their prices. As others have mentioned, the Cherrypicker's guide is a good source...
This made me laugh!
The 1983 has a die chip inside the lower loop of the 8. The 1943 cent is probably struck through grease, giving a weak 4. The 1941 cent has...
Looks like Machine Doubling, in the extreme.
