Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1765971, member: 13307"]NOTE: I also posted this on the CONECA forums to get more info, but since I know CoinTalk has decent traffic...thought I'd ask for some opinions here, too.  Thanks! [ATTACH]280104[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280105[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280107[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280108[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280109[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280110[/ATTACH] Recently, I purchased a lot of clad coins from a customer of a local coin shop (the coin shop told him to take them to the bank, I asked politely if they would mind if I purchased them to check for varieties, and they had no issues with it.) As they were counting the silver, and picking out the wheat cents, they put together a pile of coins they didn't have any use for. (I just wanted to say that right off the bat...they chose everything I bought/they didn't buy.) I had them count the loose coin, the seller counted the rolled coin, and I paid him FV plus $25 for the privilege of cherry picking the lot. I've spent about a week going through everything (about $150 face), and I only have about 7 BU rolls of Lincoln Memorial Cents left to go through. Here is a short list of my findings to this point: *636 dated Buffalo Nickels (circulated)*46 War Nickels (circulated)*15 BU Lincoln Memorial Cent Rolls (1959, 1960D-4, 1961D-2, 1962D-5, 1963, 1963D-1, 1968S)*1938 D Jefferson Nickel (F) Mint Errors:*Lincoln Cent Blank Planchet (2)*1941 Lincoln Wheat Cent Mint Clip (MSBN)*1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent Mint Clip (XF)*1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent Mint Clip (AU)*1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent Mint Clip (XF)*1965 Lincoln Memorial Cent Mint Clip (AU)*1983 Lincoln Memorial Cent "Spiked Head" Obverse Die Crack*1988 Lincoln Memorial Cent Reverse Die Crack, Numerous Die Polish Lines/Scratches*1936 Buffalo Nickel Reverse Die Crack*1964 D Jefferson Nickel Mint Clip (AU)*Roosevelt Dime Blank Planchet Varieties:*1944 D/D Lincoln Wheat Cent (CONECA #2, WRPM-001) (VF)*1956 D/Shadow D Lincoln Wheat Cent (CONECA #8, WRPM-008) (AU)*1959 D/D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #1, WRPM-001) (XF)*1959 D/D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #1, WRPM-001) (MSRD)*1959 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #4, WRPM-004) (MSBN)*1959 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #10, WRPM-010) (XF)*1960 DDO Lincoln Memorial Cent (Unattributed) (MSRB)*1960 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #5, WRPM-010) (MSBN)*1960 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #16, WRPM-016) (AU)*1960 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #23, WRPM-006) (MS Cleaned)*1960 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #26, WRPM-022) (MSBN)*1960 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #63, WRPM-051) (MSBN)*1960 D/D Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA #63, WRPM-051) (MSBN)*1963 D DDO Lincoln Memorial Cent (CONECA 1-O-VII) (MSRB)*1936 D/D Buffalo Nickel (CONECA #2) (VG)*1936 S/S Buffalo Nickel (CONECA #1) (VG Scratches)*1936 S/S Buffalo Nickel (CONECA #1) (F)*1939 DDR Jefferson Nickel (CONECA 1-R-IV) (F Scratches)*9 1941 S Jefferson Nickel "Large S" *18 possible 1941 S Jefferson Nickel "Inverted S"*1954 S/S Jefferson Nickel (CONECA #1) (VG)*1970 Roosevelt Dime "Reverse of 1968" Proof Die Reverse (CONECA RDV-002) (VG)*1970 Roosevelt Dime "Reverse of 1968" Proof Die Reverse (CONECA RDV-002) (F)*1970 D Roosevelt Dime "Reverse of 1968" Proof Die Reverse (CONECA RDV-002) (VF)*1971 D Eisenhower Dollar "Friendly Eagle" (CONECA RDV-006) (MS) Now, I'm poring through the last few rolls of Memorial Cents (a 1961 D BU roll), and I have come across something I've not seen before. There is a large raised area projecting through the lower tail of the 9 of the date. It almost looks like a portion of the 9 was broken off, flipped on its axis, and punched in underneath the final date (sort of gives the effect of those ribbons you see memorializing some particular cause...) I checked my Cherrypicker's Guide...nothing. I checked CONECA's Master Listings...nothing. I checked Ken Potter's Error & Variety Listings...nothing. I checked John Wexler's Coin and Die Varieties website...nothing. Google? Nope. So, I ask you guys/gals...what's going on here? What did I just pay $.01 for? I am including a full coin shot of the obverse and reverse, as well as a few magnified shots of the date/MM. I also will include a black & white version, plus a copy of the black & white version that's been edited a bit in Photoshop.[/QUOTE]
