<p>[QUOTE="Steve E, post: 54634, member: 2147"]I love to see all the varieties that are popping up. They are fun to find and look at but my idea of a rare error is a little different. I used to search every coin I got my hands on and it was common to find die chips, cracks, gouges, filled, cuds, machine doubling, clashes, etc.. These varieties show up way too often, always have and always will, and that is why they don't bring high values at the table (unless someone is crazy enough to get them from ebay) there are exceptions but most are still considered common errors. I filled a 60 pocket coin book in 2 weeks with machine doubled quarters that I found just in pocket change. If I kept up I would need a safe the size of my room to store all the neat little varieties I was finding and yes, buying. That is when I decided to switch to more rare varieties and errors that will always guarantee a premium for my investment. I just finished searching through 70 rolls of 1944 D Lincolns that my father stashed away back in the late 40's and this last hoard of rolls produced 2 D/S OMM#1. 2 out of 3500 coins, that is what I consider rare and that is why they're priced around $400 each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
