<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3971169, member: 106826"]That's a good point. I suppose Red Book has identified the more generally accepted variety coins (1922 Plain, 1917/1955/1972/1983/1995 Lincoln DDs, etc.) but there are thousands of other DDs of which there are a number that have reasonable value too. Still, there are tons that merit little more than what could be had for a bit over accessed value of a 'normal' specimen. And as many can attest to, it sometimes takes more effort to figure out which RPM you have when there are more than 100 listed for some dates. I've gotten pretty good at attributing, but I have way more unattributed varieties that are waiting for the proverbial 'rainy day'. And forget the press minted DDRs; I am sure I have a hundred or more unattributed varieties...maybe closer to 200 (cents/nickels). I toss them into a container waiting for an eventual attribution...but not in my name. It would have to be a fairly interesting variety to warrant that interest. But despite all of this, I enjoy finding variety coins. If I wasn't doing it, I'm sure I wouldn't have known about the Henning Nickels and would have spent the one I found.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
