<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 25083563, member: 77413&quot;]Thanks. I like finding things that no one else is seeing, and I like sharing the results the best way I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look at these photos and see every microscopic flaw. But I am looking at a 3/4 inch coin blown up to 6 inches, so it’s like using an 8-power loupe. They really are microscopic. Then I go look at auction archives of the same thing, and MS66’s are actually fairly messy, while MS67’s still have the same minor flaws that mine have.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fun part is that I mostly commit my time and attention. These wheats are available graded, of course, and in MS67 are priced as conditional rarities in the hundreds of dollars.

But there are still opportunities in the raw coin market, and there are still original rolls. My 55-D only cost $4.86.
