[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 4270418, member: 19250"]Back in the day one could cherry pick and error hunt out of bags. The U.S. mint had looser standards and of course the technology was not what it is today. Where error strikes, or medal bit and pieces are now filtered out. It was fun searching bags you betcha.....one never knew what one could or would find. Over the years I've sold off most all my good finds. Double strikes , off centers, brokage, struck thru, lamination, broad strikes, etc. Etc... Here a set of 1977 I managed to save from all my finds .[ATTACH=full]1087300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1087301[/ATTACH] The first a large broadstrike 77 Jefferson I grade it 65 +/- 5 FS [ATTACH=full]1087305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1087307[/ATTACH] The next specimen again a 77 board strike I grade it 65+/- FS slight Rev, collar strike. The next a 77 5 % off center strike @ 10k[ATTACH=full]1087313[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1087314[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
