Someone has a Golden Horseshoe 'you know where.....' That is awesome. You need to go play the Powerball or hit the Casino...... Great finds for sure!

It's easier to get lucky at finding good stuff when you have a room full of coins to choose from to search. It'll slow down a lot once I'm stuck with off-year BU memorial rolls and circulated wheat bags, which is most of it.

Very nice! I have two examples of this die but they would have a hard time making F30.

Dearborn, well not exactly. I was on a run to my dentist today, stopped by a shop and bought another 2,000. The number keeps going up no matter how many I get through each night, and trying to do about 1000 a night right now.

Do you use a loupe or a scope to search?

The differences between the DDO-003 and the DDO-008 is this on the date.
The 003 looks like the '2' is starting to make a muscle.

The 008 has the big guns on that area:

I search all business strikes with a loupe, and all proofs with a scope. But the scope is set up right beside me so if the loupe shows anything fishy I can scope it in seconds.

Old school, I like it! Thanks for the reply. I started searching, well into the tech error and used a scope early on. I've tried to us a loupe but just can't make any time with it. I've noticed that the searchers, who put out numbers, use loupes though. I'm pretty fast with the scope but feel I could be faster with a loupe, if I could get used to it.
