Message:: [QUOTE="cherrypickermom, post: 996953, member: 27032"]Hi!I began collecting in June after a 1920 happen across my path. Since June I have found many S mint coins. 1-1954 S, 1 1955 S, 6-1969 S, 6-1970 S, 4-1971 S, 3-1972 S, 1-1973 S, and 4-1974 S. Admittedly I am an intentional picker, yet how common are S minted coins out there? And how common is the 1969 S. I went the Boston Coin show recently (the large one) and inquired of a more knowledgeable dealer about the 1969 S. His very quick response to me was that its no longer really a collectable as there are so many out there and did not look at what I had. Maybe he was just tired. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But wow what a great show that was! So I have also noticed that dimes have what seems to me to be extra medal...? I have come across so many dimes with excess medal on the eyebrow or corner lip area of Roosevelt. Looks like he's got crumbs on the corner of his lip, lol. Could anyone please tell my why this is? Is this considered errors? Often I notice excessive on the reverse aslo and what look to be double die on the reverse design. But Im still training eyes to tell the difference between double die, strike, etc.   Thank you all for your help! Have a great weekend![/QUOTE]
