We're stellar and it looks like you're finding some good stuff.

Best wishes with the new endeavor.

I'm beginning to think the real forensic challenge facing this hobby these days is finding one that isn't a Wexler DDO/DDR...

 

Yeah, sure you're right, nobody has to go thru more than enough pennies to buy a stick of gum to find one or two.

 

All wexler is trying to do is keep the hobby ( varieties ) coming .
With single squeeze, everything changed now ...

 

Amazing this year a blatantly obvious 1944 DDO was discovered, among many others helped along by several actually looking for things far less obvious than that 1955 DDO.

 

Sometimes it make you think, the mint had them in the vault ..

 

Or that nobody was looking quite that close with good glass.

30 years ago, owning a real good piece of 5-10X glass wasn't an everyman thing, even in numismatics. That separated the hole fillers from more serious types with $tereo$ only being a staple the top tier folk. Those upper types likely weren't fooling with lincolns.

That's just my fast and loose theory.

20 years ago, if a coin danced with my GIA, fully-color-corrected inspection scope, it was almost certainly worth serious money, or a really good CF.

I don't recall ever having used it back then to look at a lincoln, and very very few IHC's.

 

I just took a few crappy pics of some coins I grabbed from the stash on the way out the door. Going to post a few and see if you guys see anything significant. I had horrible light so they might be really bad on your end. Lunch break so had to snap em quick. First is a 1969 D where the first 9 and the 6 are split pretty good. I take lots of pics cause I'm not sure which angle you may need. Liberty also seems to have splitti g between several letters. Is this md or red?

 

Appears to be a heavily worn die.

 

They ran those dies, to the end of life ..

 

Gotcha. I figured it was something like that. Got a couple more for ya

 

Have like 3 more coins that just don't look right to me. Maybe you 2 can make things faster for me on these few. Ha.

 

this is the reverse of a 1992. If its mechanical it looks diff than most with the way the material stacked up on the C in cent.

 

Going to start a new thread for a 1958 D quarter I have. Looks to be doubled on the BER def the left leg of the R but maybe I'm wrong. Also the U in Trust.
