<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yokozuna, post: 1009899, member: 26087&quot;]I only paid $177 for mine! I&#039;ve seen them up to $479. The only reason I bought the &#039;74-D was because I wanted the thrill of the hunt for an error or 2. Even if I didn&#039;t find anything I&#039;d only be out a couple of bucks at that price and if I rolled and sold them for a fair price I&#039;d break even. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now I don&#039;t know what I should do next. Has anyone found something like this before? What could I do to get them listed as a die variety? I have different obverse dies so far and 6 reverse. Some were die clashed before the die started to rotate and some after. I&#039;m also starting to find dies with more clash and less polish. It&#039;s the coolest thing to find something new each time I pickup the bag. I had 1 slightly misaligned obverse and reverse die on one coin, but NOT in the same direction. I am also finding a strike thru in one spot on the obverse die on 3 coins so far. My favorite has coin so far has 80% of his nose polished away. Like I said. The operator clashed one or more sets of dies and kept trying to polish them, each time getting deeper. This is so much fun!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reverse is just as bad and shows Lincoln in the columns. You cans see his beard and the back of his head. The small seated Lincoln is just floating on most coins where his &quot;seat&quot; was polished off. You can also see the some of the word liberty on most of the coin reverses. The &quot;Y&quot; at the end of LIBERTY is smaller that the other letters and you can see it clearly in the columns. The problem is that it&#039;s hard to get a good scan showing what&#039;s easy to see with a loop on the reverse. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m still working things out and may buy a better scanner. I&#039;m using an OLD 1200 X 2400dpi, but I may upgrade to a 4800 x 9600dpi just for all the errors I&#039;ve bought. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m in error hunters heaven and have almost 20 matching error quarters. It looks like the dies were rusted as the error spots stand out and are not strike thurs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, as far as the offer of 50% off face, I&#039;ll have to say maybe for now. I mean all the copper is still there. It&#039;s the dies that were missing metal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If someone truly has some advise on how I should handle getting these coins the proper attribution, please let me know your phone number or I can give you mine. I&#039;ll call and you can educate me on these things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Ben Jenkins</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;I love the smell of copper in the morning... it smells like...
