This is why I mentioned before that the rabbit hole of documenting minor varieties leads newbies to believe every small nic or doubling is worth collecting, dealers have binders or cases of these types of coins for a buck or two and rarely ever trades. Colonial has had quite a few pages of these minor dealer old stock for auctions the last few years with either no bids or 20 bucks or so for the page, there is simply almost no market for minor stuff. Stick to a real double struck coin where a coin is struck twice or more, or a major rotation of 90% or 180% or the other cool error strikes, they happen rarely but they are out there

I'll check it out. And I know tiny errors aren't worth anything some can even take away from the value if a coin. But I just want a starter collection minor die chips, alot of doubling looks super hard to make out for me lol. But ya I enjoy researching I'm not here with the intention of striking gold, just to learn and see what I can find for now. I'd love to find a rotated die or a visible double die.

If this coin was not silver say 1970 with the same nics and wear, chips it would only be worth 10 cents today and 50 years from now, but always collect what you like. In the last TCNC sale a cool foldover 20 dollar replacement note that 3 years ago was worth at most 2000.00 it sold for over 20000.00, some not so cool coin errors has also gaining great value the last year or so, that's the difference in minor and major errors

john100, I once had a 1949 10 cent coin with the 9 in the date heavily doubled on the bottom loop graded by ICCS as a MS-64 and I've also seen other years in 40's and 30's with doubling in the dates. But being a dime it never got any recognition seems no one cares about dimes.

I have no idea anything about paper money lol, how can what makes any modern bills special? Is there varieties or anything that make them more rare? Iv never though about looking into paper money but maybe I'll check it out. All I know is a little about old 1-2$ bills but nothing about more modern bills

That is the problem with doubling unless the whole date or the whole side is doubled generally no collectors really care, the only exceptions in recent dimes is the 69 large date, every time it comes up for auction it garners a really good price

Because our poly notes are every note scanned there is very few poly note errors, only a few missing colour but be carefull with these and some 50 dollars poly has double serial numbers, most of the cool error notes comes before the poly series

I'll keep my eyes open, the new notes have so many colours idk if I'd ever notice one missing lol, though serial numbers I'm gonna start looking at, mayb find a double serial or mayb even find one with like a missing letter or number, though I imagine it's as rare as winning the lottery lol.

I'm just not willing to part with the 1976 because it is the only example currently known. Its all about getting them infront of the right people, an I'm not talking unknowing newbies, ive had local well seasoned collectors from my area offer me premiums that some wouldent think twice about accepting.

Pennies seem to be the biggest collector coins in Canada, though I cannot get any lol unless I buy for a premium so it makes sense

wrekkdd, check your local banks and ask them if they have any pennies you can purchase. Most will say no but there will be a couple that will have no issue selling you some.
As for my comment, I was just giving a general idea that minor to major doubled dies on all denominations are actually very collectible, ive found and discovered plenty for all denominations and they are not that easy to come by, ive searched daily for the past 2 years doing 3 to 4 boxes a week for each denomination, and going to different banks in my area, some being scarce and others being common but overall they all end up demanding a premium big and small.
Nothing that would convince you to quit your day job but point being, the only reason most over look them is due to lack of documentation which I am hoping my catalogue will remedy.

Even the bank so far that puts one and two dollar bills, silver or gold coins(if someone dosnt pocket them) and other 1$ and 50¢ pieces aside for me. Said they weren't aloud to anymore. I'm sure if you knew someone well enough you could mayb but iv tried a few banks for pennies and no luck.

wrekkdd, if all else fails, bring in a couple rolls of pennies and tell them you dont want to cash them but was curious if they would exchange them for the same amount of pennies, it has worked for me at banks that have told me no or that they cant.
Usually it is not because they dont "want" to its mostly because of paperwork and having pennies go missing from the drawer/vault that shouldent be. Ive done it with a couple boxes recently and was told its not a problem anymore as long as I bring some in.

I get that,iv noticed even when I buy rolls with bills they put the money and a receipt in a ziplock bag and write something down before giving me normal circulation customer rolls. But unfortunately I have no pennies lol. Honestly I don't remember the last time I saw a penny lol, well before covid even. My fiance had a little jar 1/4 filled with them sitting outside with her plants for some reason. But other then this(never looked through) also I think they got left when we moved:p
On a separate note that just reminded me that the first time I ever has an interest in coins was the year the penny was stopping. I had alot and was young and was sifting through them seeing if the new ones were magnetic or not etc. After that something made me forget about my love for coins lol,and hunting, and untill I joined the forum here I had forgotten that. Thanks for the memory lol
