This is a not so amazing class VI doubled die so I am not doing close ups. You can see it pretty easy in LIBERTY and the little elf boot on the E of WE. But it's a really nice coin easily MS66RB and maybe 67. For some reason this date has a lot of very nice coins, but no real major varieties.   |

Thanks all! And yes, exactly like those elf boots, the tip of the lower bar of the E in WE points up.

Where do I find nice coins? Well honestly most of the coins I see aren't so nice, but I really try to target the top coins. Three days ago I stopped by a LCS and bought 15,000 Lincoln cents. There are bags, boxes, tubes, rolls etc. I start with anything BU before even thinking about the circulated stuff. If I run out of time and just have too much stuff, I can sell that stuff off unsearched, but I'm gonna look at every BU coin. But I do like to say that it's all about numbers. If rare coins are rare, then the more coins you look at the better your odds that at least one is rare. So I go through many, many thousands of Coins every year to find those few top grade rarities. And sometimes while I'm picking up Lincolns the dealer will have something else worth searching, like the 30 or so rolls of BU 1963 Jefferson nickels I bought at face value since he wanted rid of them. The FS-801 for that year has MS65 as top pop. Now I just have to go through them all and see if I get lucky. After that I move on to the next batch of BU coins. |
