<p>[QUOTE="Kaipolehua, post: 4417895, member: 96083"]Good job on this find...I have found a few errors before and used to get all excited and had visions of submitting my find for grading and dreaming of it selling for a “record” price...I usually take my find to my local dealer...and he will take a look at it and explain what he sees upon his examination...so far- none of my finds have been valuable...I’ve gained knowledge from Vince, and really appreciate that he takes the time to examine the coin and will explain what he sees...The most recent coin I took in, was a copper weight cent that my magnet picked up! </p><p>The date wasn’t 1943 or 1944...it was 1925...so I knew something was wrong...took it to Vince who got his magnet out and “click” - the penny was picked up by his magnet! Using his magnifying glass and careful examination- he found a piece of solder on the coin- that’s what our magnets picked up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Guessing that this coin was used as jewelry at one point in the journey to me. Oh well...</p><p>another reality check...I give Vince a box of candy or something for his time...I usually buy my supplies from him and bid on his weekly auction board as well.
