Kevin Flynn Auction Of Certified Die Varieties At Heritage Auctions

When I was pouring over hundreds of Barber dime images for a subsequent article, and explained my discoveries to my kid, he said "It's interesting but useless."

Just skimmed through a few pages. What a collection! It will definitely out of my reach.

Once again, wish you the best of luck.

Totally.
Unprofessional to me.

1870/0 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS63 Brown NGC. Mintage 5,275,000.
Flynn Reference and Cross Reference: DDO-003, DBL TY, S-1, FS-101 (008.6)

They did get it right on at least one coin..but yeah mostly used "Double"

Thanks everyone for your responses, makes me feel like I accomplished something
Also, please call me Kevin, I feel older than I am when people call me Mr. Flynn

Anyone Else Checking out the Auctions?


I have seen Coins in these auctions Here, We collect that have a " Red Book " listed value, That is NOT very consistent with the Prices being Realized as I see these auctions progress, with about 3 Weeks to go. The Prices people are Obviously More than Willing to Bid on Paying Much Higher Too!!!

The Fact the Recognition of a Person or a Person's Name ON Distinctive Collections has Historically Brought Record Prices, IMO....

However, My point Here is, While Extremely Crisp Struck coins are All Here, I can Not help Realize, The Coin Collecting Hobby is Far From Stagnant, Far From Gone. It's Very Refreshing, Very Promising for Collectors of Unique, Die Variety, Errors and Plate coins that Some I did NOT Know Existed....


Check out The Fugio , Continental Currency Piece, How many Known? Last I saw it was at a Bid of $ 155.000.00..... Just Awesome these are in One Person's Ward, I Hope Others take the Time to see, Supreme Examples, of Days Gone Bye , Some of The American Classic Coinage......

One person had the Foresight to Want to Name and Recognize Special Varieties, some Unknown.......

Nickel, in the short couple of years I have been on this site, you have done nothing but uplift the community and help out folks who need it. I get out in the fast lane occasionally, did yesterday, it happens. Own up, as you have and all should be done, that is what I do, when it happens and move on. Anyone who cannot accept that, has not lived or has lived incorrectly.

nickelsearcher, thanks, not a problem. You have done over 11K posts on this site, that is a heck of a lot of time and effort. We all contribute in different ways to help our hobby and our fellow collectors.
Trust me, I am extremely happy with the responses herein, and in the future, when I focus on books getting kids involved in our hobby, this will be one of the sites I will be recommending as a learning place as IMO collectors here are extremely helpful and positive to others.
On another site (unnamed), IMO it is a hostile environment, not only in my experience posting there, but in many other posts from others I have seen. It is not a site I would want people to go, especially new collectors.

Kevin What a noble future you go for. Me I done this (sets of coins) for the kids in the terminal fase from years. I gived them an light on theirs last months, weeks or days. I have many time messages from brothers and sisters of those kid who continous this hobby, and nothing could hit more my heart.
