Errors or varieties are you after.

You say error, they list varieties. I think you are actually talking about varieties since you mention the '55 DDO and the '37 D Three-legged Nickel. You can get a knockout off center struck coin , which is an error, for around ten bucks. You can cherry pick Kennedy varieties at almost any coin show. You can also pull them out of rolls. (If you know what to look for) Probably the most obvious for the least money would be the 1995 DDO Lincoln Cent. Edited by foundinrolls

How about a 1983 DDO Lincoln? Those are running a couple of hundred bucks in mint state. Michael |

Which 1983 DDO? There are at least 7 DDO varieties that I know of for that year. |

Sorry, I meant the 1-R-IV. As was asked by USArmyParatrooper it has the most spread. Thus being very obvious.

No Need to apologize, I just wanted to clarify it a little as one DDO is not the same as another pricewise and I wouldn't want somebody to spend a hundred bucks, lets say for a ten dollar version:-) |

I hate to say this but just because it is in a slab doesn't mean it's a big deal. I dont even think they know what they are talking about on this one.
Think about it, Unless PCGS scraped off a piece of the "white metal", which of course , they did not. There is no way they can tell what that is or whether it was added after the coin left the mint.
Ecven in a slab, I don't buy this one...

The 1937-D Three legged Buffalo nickel I wouldn't call a variety. I would think of this as an error. The first coins made with this die was normal and later after too much die polishing they removed that fourth leg. So I would not think it fits into the variety category. In order for it to be a variety, it would show on the earliest strikes. It only shows on the later die states. Same also on the 1922 no D Cent. All the dies were normal when they started. They were over polished later to create this error. |

For a nice variety, I like the Kennedy 1964-D Quadruple Die Obverse. It's very prominant even to a novice and available for around $50. Also love the 1956-1964 Type B quarter series.
