How many of you take the time to search for the major or minor varieties? A dealer called me this morning to inform me that a customer found a 1982 Dime with no "P" in her change. The coin grades in VF to XF and appearantly has seen a bit of circulation. I just wonder how many collectors overlooked the variety in their pocket or within their collection.

Rest in Peace

ND,

I have to admitt that I'm one of those who don't pay much attention to varieties, errors or oddities. I have coins that I bought in the late 1950's and early 1960's that have never been attributed. Lotsa of Bust Half Dollars. I'm just not into that. If someone buys a coin from me that's a good variety, good for them.

Me too...Since Lincolns are my game, I look at 72 and 95's for the DDO and periodically check 98 to 2000 for the Wide A M's. Other that, they end up in my loose change bin.

I am one of those who checks for varieties. Of course, I have days at work with nothing better to do than go through the coin and plenty of loose coin to look through, so why not? And I always check my pocket change before I spend it. Most of what I find are not varieties, but stuff like clipped planchets and filled dies, plus the occasional Proof coin that escaped into circulation.
