Message:: [QUOTE="Merlin8971, post: 1517532, member: 39850"]Hello: Thanks for the welcome. I am familiar with all the varieties, MADs, PMDs and machine doubling. I have a number of 1999-P Jefferson nickels that have what one might call machine doubling. However, since I have found  more than fifteen of these coins, all EXACTLY ALIKE I am not convinced the 1999-P Jefferson nickel is machine doubled. I know local coin collectors I know think I have great luck with searching. I found another Jefferson 1938-S on Wednesday. Of course it was about a VF30. I can only say that many of the errors I find are represented in either Cherrypickers or Strike It Rich with Pocket Change photos. I find other errors that are not listed or attributed but are definitely errors. An Example is a 1976-D Roosevelt dime with a full die clash on the front and two complete outline die clashes of Roosevelt on the reverse. There is an example of a 1974-d Roosevelt die clash (single) in Strike It Rich.  I do not have an accurate count but I know I have more than 20 strong die clash Roosevelt dimes. I found another one yesterday that is as strong as the 1976, but it is a 1989-P. I have pictured some of my errors on CONECO and the "Monster Triple Die Clash" can be searched on E-Bay (please dont laugh at my rediculously high asking price). Just know that I calculated the asking price on the rarity. A 1974 Roosevelt single die clash in Strike It Rich is vallued at $250+. I think a two die clash is 5 times rarer and a triple die clash would be 10 times rarer than the two die clash variety. Tis only my opinion but at least I have a rational in the calculation. Anyway, I got 5 rolls of dimes one day and found 10 silver dimes in two of the rolls. Another time several months ago I was shocked to find 3 Roosevelt silvers 2 Mercury's and an 1878 Seated Liberty dime in one roll. That is an issue with me about error coins. No one wants to give any kind of valuation of error coins. Even PCGS will not value a die clash. I sent a 1983-p strong die clash Lincoln penny and they slabbed it as a MS63RB Clashed Dies (PCGS 24439483), but did not value it or give a population for it. I would have thought PCGS would at least put a population on it since their population counts ONLY take into consideration PCGS coin populations. I would think it would have a population of at least 1. As I wrote (AND LOST THE TEXT, because of being auto signed out DAYUM I hate when that happens) yesterday I have approximately 1200 Lincolns, 450 Jeffersons, 650 Roosevelts, and 1025 Quarters including 560 statehood quarters errors. These are ALL from searched bank rolls exclusively. I have a number of other error coins which I purchased as rolls on E-Bay that also have errors within them. I bought two rolls of 1955-S bu/unc Lincoln pennies and almost all of them were a combination of doubled 55's filled S's, and doubled liberty or "BIE" Liberty's with a few that have some doubling of the In God We Trust. Probably for the last 4 months I have been finding many complete rolls of Jeffersons that were mostly au/bu sliders PRE 1965 that apparently a collector or inherited rolls were turned into the various banks around here. So far I have accumulated more than three "bricks" of fine Jefferson nickels. I have 7 oclock obverse die crack statehood quarters of almost every state, a fairly large number of die chip(s), die clashed, struck thru grease etc statehood quarters. Some of these statehood quarters are quite spectacular. I have an Oregon state quarter that is struck thru grease and details on both the obverse/reverse are missing. The reverse only has "GON" where Oregon should be and the date 1859 (only part of the 8 and all of the 59 remains) just below "GON" is partially missing EPU is almost completely gone. On the obverse "ed states of amer" is visbible, "berty" is visible and In Go We Tru" of IGWT is visible. I have a Hawai"i that has extra die chips that look like three new island chains. One below the big island and two on the right side of "whats-his-face (cant remember Emperior's name, and yes I know its on the coin but I am too lazy to get up and look at it right now). Just weeks ago I found a 1989-P washington with a fully 180 degree rotated reverse. I have more than 20 Delaware quarters with either "spitting horse" or "spitting unicorn" (my title for die cracks from the horses mouth down thru Caesar Rodney and to the rim that also goes up around the head of the horse and continues above making it look like a unicorn), die clash washington curls under horse's belly die chips in "The First State" and two doubled Caesar Rodney's (which are NOT the big money Caesar Rodney doubling). I am now going to copy this text to the clip board so I do not loose the text as I try to post. Wish me luck.[/QUOTE]
