[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1075246, member: 17919"]It's mostly a "luck thing", I would say. I've found at least 4 major errors in the last 2 years, after looking through thousands and thousands of coins. 1995 Double Die cent 2002 Louisiana quarter late stage die cap error 1983 Lincoln cent late stage die cap error Off-center cent (no date) I have also found a few minor errors, such as large die cracks, including a die crack that runs across Washington's head on a couple of 1964-D quarters. Your best bet for finding errors might be with pennies, since few people actually pay attention to them and there are several errors (like the '95 Double Die and die cap errors) that can still be found, as well as varieties like the 1992 and 1992-D "Close AM". There are a few other double dies out there as well. And the thing about looking through pennies is, you don't have to really spend any money to do it-- get a bunch of rolls from a bank, look through them, then take the ones you don't keep back to the bank.[/QUOTE]
