[QUOTE="RomaniGypsy, post: 8062833, member: 49234"]I must've been thinking about another date I just checked, that had 17. Still, 10. That's a lot. Would you say that to someone who searches halves and dimes purely to find silver? I'm trying to pull stuff that's optimally valuable for the least time investment. If an esoteric die variety only commands a few times face value, it's hardly worth putting the coin under a microscope to find it. I read recently of a CT poster who went through 2,000,000 pennies. There's no way he microscoped each and every last one of them. What I really want to know is - which ones are actually worth something? Is there a resource where I can find values for this stuff - even relative values - like the Red Book? To give you an idea, there's a big thing about the 1975-D nickel, where the location of the mint mark can cause it to be a valuable die variety. But there are numerous locations of that mint mark, some of which are "closer" than others, and apparently only the "really close" one is worth more than face. (And how much more, I don't know.)
