<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1206626, member: 13650"]If you're talking about roll searching, yeah, I'd say they're gone. I'd say you have about the same chance of finding a $20 gold piece buried in your front yard as you would finding one of those in a roll. You have to consider the fact that you could search hundreds of dollars worth of dimes, maybe thousands, and you may or may not even find a single silver dime from any year. Let alone a 42/41, that was probably rare in 1943! </p><p><br /></p><p> Now, both those errors are somewhat subtle. Especially the merc. Still long odds but there's always the chance somebody overlooked one and threw it in the bargain bin at a show for a few bucks. Both being common dates. That'd probably be your best chance of scoring something cheap. It sounds like many dealers don't know about and don't look for errors. Especially the real unique errors that are not as common. Though rare, some people here have found errors by ebay pics that somebody didn't realize what it was. Non-collectors selling on ebay have no idea about errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
