All surviving ones are usually in low grades with one at XF condition? Reading from David Lange book, if my memory serves me right. It was stolen and used publicly.

Is this the Judd-1981? I noticed a PR-58 example sold in 2012 on HA for just over $79K...

Though the odds are not in my favor, there is a (rare) chance to get bit by one of the following. 1) Canadian 1973 large bust quarter 2) USA 1998-S Matte Proof Kennedy half dollar3) the usual USA Lincoln cents (1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1914-D, 1924-D, and 1931-S) 4) Canadian 2006-P non-magnetic cent I'll keep dreaming for good luck to smack me some day!! |

@DVCollector,
There are a few 16 Patterns. J-1983 and J-1984 of those don't have Weinman insignia and J-1984 are closer to the business strikes, but the reverse have slight differences. I can only dream!

I continue to look for rare Capped Bust Halves; 1830 large letters 1824 O-102 is possible 1817/4 is nearly impossible but I look every day And on and on. 1942/1 Mercury dimes aren't super rare though I've looked for years and have yet to cherry pic one. Any of the normally poorly struck Lincoln cents found with a good strike are a gas to find. I think I enjoy the hunt more than ownership. Edited by noD

SsuperDdave, that VAM1X is incredible! It's unique in that die state but the die pair has been identified in EDS, the former VAM-1CC. So there's a 1X1 EDS and a 1X2 LDS with the Cud. One got out. I have to believe there's another.  |

1892-micro O Barber half. I'm sure there must be some hiding in Barber half rolls.

Quote:1916 Mercury dime Pattern. I could of swear I saw one years ago, but didn't make that purchase. It was in a regular dealer album in the show. I would think being in an album with other Mercs right next to it, that it just may jump out at you a little more than one being offered by itself as a regular 1916. Now that would be a find!

It was fine grade I think, blend in pretty well with other 16-P. And when I decided to go back I can remember where. LOL! |

For about 10 years I have been trying to put together a set of Washington quarters 1965-1998 P&D struck on nickel planchets. I have close to 50 different dates and mintmarks but have my doubts I will ever complete it. Haven't found one I don't have for about 3 years ! |

I look for Standing Liberty quarter varieties. I have discovered some new ones and find about one a month as listed in Robert H. Knauss's second edition book " Standing Liberty quarter Varieties and Errors" published this year. I have several references and pictures mentioned in Mr. Knauss's book of some of my finds and am challenged to find more to share with him. It's a great book if you're into Standing Liberty quarters. I highly recommend it. |
