I searched through $150 of the Adams Dollars and all I found was a dollars where the edge lettering went off the edge is some places. I was hoping for a doubled edge letering... What is the name of the edge lettering going off the edge? I could not find one on ebay, how much are they worth? It's prety minor though.
I think Twiggs is right. Seems our mint cannot get these dull coins right. God bless Can..uh I mean America
Seems that way to me as well. I'm not really getting involved in them. I have a Washington that my dealer gave me for a buck. If I WERE to go out and search rolls I'd look for coins WITHOUT problems. Probably have a higher rarity.
I'd say you're doing it right then - pull the better coins and better "errors" as it were. It is scary that this stuff sells though but I've had similar experiences with wheat rolls especially from the 50s. Open a roll and it's full of BIE errors and clogged 9s. People will always pay a few bucks for those in BU. Good luck in your endeavors.
While error coins will probably always command a premium, the current amounts being paid almost guarantee that the buyer will lose money. It's probably a better idea to sell them when you find them than to keep them and regret it later. That's just my opinion.
I have to agree the "novelty" usually wears off. A good example is the 1995 Lincoln Double Die. Dealers would pay $100 in the beginning and now have a hard time selling a PCGS MS67 for same. NOT ALWAYS the case though but so many errors sold today are so slight. Sell em, make a few bucks and keep a few. You can't lose that way.
Get this... It was on ebay and the seller called it a " Rim Rider" that was kinda funny... but catchy... I like it!
