<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2524469, member: 19250&quot;]Dougmeister&nbsp; asked me to get a part of a study group for varieties .&nbsp; And we have talked several&nbsp; times&nbsp; now on how to go about it. When collecting variety&nbsp; coins one must be opened minded as to what may or may not be. I recall your&nbsp; interest&nbsp; in&nbsp; a 1867 shield nickel on the way up to Gettysburg . </p><p>The same nickel received&nbsp; 2 reviews&nbsp; by the same specialist&nbsp; and both came back with a different&nbsp; review each time.</p><p>When you collect&nbsp; variety&nbsp; coins it&#039;s&nbsp; a&nbsp; little&nbsp; different&nbsp; then filling an album . Not that&#039;s&nbsp; anything&nbsp; wrong with choosing&nbsp; how one wishes to collect. </p><p>Variety&nbsp; collector&nbsp; many times gambles on what they believe&nbsp; it&nbsp; to be from what they have retained from what references&nbsp; they have read. Again in a perfect&nbsp; world you have the time to do the research&nbsp; other times ya don&#039;t .&nbsp; That said if the specimen&nbsp; is worth the chance you roll the dice . Sometimes&nbsp; ya win sometimes&nbsp; ya loose .&nbsp; ie years ago I had a roll of 1955 Lincoln&nbsp; cents I found 8 ddo&#039;s&nbsp; not the famous&nbsp; one but the rarer one. Sent them into ngc all came back as 65 red all sold for over $750 each. When most would be looking at the date I was looking at IGWT. And that scored big time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
