<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1531173, member: 36230&quot;]No offense, but lists like this do nothing but remind me of the &quot;strike it rich with pocket change&quot; type mentality. Just as with the book, and even though it may contain decent beginner info, listing only (or mostly) the so-called &quot;big ones&quot; is the same as buying a lottery ticket... it&#039;s searching for the big score while possibly throwing away something lesser but still has value. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of varieties in pre-82 cents, so what it really comes down to is the OP&#039;s purpose in searching. If his/her interest is only in the more popular and/or higher value varieties, the above lists are general but fine. However, if he/she is interested in finding any varieties, its worth spending the time to educate themselves before starting. Rick had the right idea in posting two fine sites to start with... doubleddie.com is also an excellent reference and has a section that explains the minting process in depth. There is a lot of great info available on the interwebs, so make good use of it. Learn first how to identify the different variety types instead of searching for specific varieties. For example: both of the above posts made mention of &quot;1972 DDO&quot;, and even though standingpride did add &quot;#1&quot;, nothing was said about the numerous other doubled dies known for the date/mint. John Wexler once told me that there are &quot;over 100 different doubled die reverses known for the 1964-P alone&quot; and although most are very minor, they are still varieties even if not listed in any of the popular books. The point is that there is so much more out there than any basic list could not even begin to touch on what could be found, so learning or knowing how to identify the varieties may be the better starting point... worry about attributing later. All depends on the reason for searching. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
