Bluntedbobylon Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 1:49 pm I've yet to find any major errors or anything close enough to to be considered an error (unless I just haven't been able to see it with the basic loupe I have) I just set aside coins that seem a little odd and that's been good enough to keepme searching It's obviously not a coin but this is the only error I've come across so far: Report this Post to the Staff
brandino New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 2:11 pm I have an old German coin that's worth about $200 or so. That's about the only thing I have of any significant value. The cool part about that coin is that it was given to me as a quarter when I was a cashier at a grocery store. So I put a quarter of mine in the till and kept it. It looks like I made a good decision there. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 2:33 pm Don't have the Strike it Rich book so who knows...but I have found quite a few doubled dies and other varieties.Since I started keeping track of my roll searching, I've gone through 250,000 cents in the last 6 months..so it does take a bit of looking.

Lion4Life Valued Member United States 370 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 2:51 pm Nothing major. Find some nice older Jeffersons once in a while. If 1964D Jeffersons were rare, I could have retired by now and bought a island somewhere Report this Post to the Staff
Bullnuke Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 3:27 pm I don't really use the Cherry Pickers Guide but I have found several rotated dies, off center strikes, various Rpms and DDO / DDRs, a broadstrike, 98,99 and 2000 WAMs, 92 CAM, and 2 indent strike errors over the last 4 years, to mention a few. Not enough to retire on but I'm not in it for the money. Kie Report this Post to the Staff

Dirty Finger Penny Sorter New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 04/29/2011 11:46 pm A McDonalds gave me a 1922 no D Strong Reverse in change three years ago. I flipped it on ebay for $470.00 and paid for most of my Christmas presents that year. Edited by Dirty Finger Penny Sorter 04/29/2011 11:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
