<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomaniGypsy, post: 8062774, member: 49234&quot;]How is it humanly possible to examine every last coin you search, for every last variety listed on Variety Vista?</p><p><br /></p><p>And even if you like to spend all of that time looking for those varieties, which ones are actually worth something? Variety Vista shows 17 DDO varieties for the 1972 Lincoln penny, while the Red Book mentions only &quot;doubled die obverse&quot;. Variety Vista shows plenty of doubled dies for coins that the Red Book makes no mention of. Is this because those varieties aren&#039;t worth anything above face value? I mean, with 17 types of DDO on the 1972, surely a lot of them will be doubled and that&#039;d diminish the value. Many of the doubled die varieties showing seemed hardly doubled at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bunch of pennies I&#039;ve kept and I&#039;m trying to decide if I&#039;m going to take the time to sort them by year and mint mark so that I can check them for varieties. I may as well not do that unless I&#039;m likely to hit bank on a variety, because beyond that, I see no point in holding on to a coin that I&#039;d only be able to differentiate from a &quot;plain&quot; example by using a microscope. &quot;Hey, check out my 1975 doubled die! Lemme fire up my microscope so that you can tell why it&#039;s so special!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
