Hi, I posed this question in another thread and I dont think it got read too many times, so I thought a dedicated thread may be more pertinent... Here goes:
I am currently only (somewhat) into identifying morgan VAMS and the (sometimes) premiums that these types can bring... SO;
How many varieties of peace, ike, susan B etc have valuable (or really interesting looking) varieties?
Same question but repeated for all other denominations.... (Info I'm looking for will sound something like 'roosevelts have 3 interesting varieties such as xxxx, xxxx, xxxx and their respective premiums are ____ value of a regularly graded one of the same date'

Any datum of this sort will be greatly appreciated

I moved this over to the US Modern Variety and Error Coins. You might get more input from the regulars here than in CRH.

It will really depend on what denomination and series you plan on looking at. With Peace dollar VAMs, then your Roosevelt example, you're bounding between classic and modern coins. The best thing to do is figure out what denomination you'll be doing, then researching that extensively to compile your own list. Even getting complete lists from others may cause you to miss something if they've made an omission. Short cuts aren't worth it. There are also excellent resources for cents, which have been my denomination of choice as of late.
Rest in Peace

Give us CCF members a break. The datum for your request is beyond an actual reply. IMHO
Try searching through the wealth of information here at CCF and learn.
Start reading and find the information.

Alright, I guess I wasn't specific enough;
I know :generally: what to look for;

If I were to go through dimes I know to save the silver whether it be American or otherwise, I was wondering is in rossevelt clad coinage if there'll be anything to look for;

I've been contemplating getting Iles to search, I know to save the silver; however I do not know what I'm looking for in the Eisenhower series...

For cents I know to look for wheaties and the '55's and look at '72's

For nickels I know to look for buffaloes and War Nickels

Nothing special in Roosevelt clad, unless you get a W (rare) or maybe an rpm, but not much premium on the roosie-rpms.
Rest in Peace

Dual brain: with a lot of the others here, settle down, do some studying to help determine what YOU may WANT to collect. To go so whole hog and scattered about, you'll never find out the richness of a specific series/coin/type. Start and stay on one area for a while, learn that, THEN move on to another, Patience, man!! Like Druu, I'm into pennies mostly, been doing it for two years plus, still learning DAILY about some new error, RPM...latest are the rim Cuds.

Dual, I think it'll help a lot to do your own research first, then ask for details and clarifications. I say this without hostile intent, but the fact is no one else will do the research for you. There are a ton of resources for cents: coppercoins, lincolncentresource, and I believe CWB has a site that he's linked in his signature.

As for your specific questions, I'll throw out a few answers that I happen to know. For dimes, 1964 and before are 90% silver, but the 1964 dies were used into 1966 or 1967 to finish up the silver planchets, so you may find dimes dated those years struck on silver. Conversely, there may also be 1964 dated dimes struck on clad. Canadian dimes were silver until 1968 I believe (one of you Canadian CRH'ers feel free to correct me). I'm not sure the percentage on Canadian, but I think their last year of silver was 50%? Back to US dimes, look for 1982 without a mint mark.

For cents, all those resources that I listed above. Like Crazy0 said, you learn more every day. Last night, I learned to look for a 1996 DDO that prices at several hundred dollars in high MS grades. That's maybe a $50-100+ coin that you'd pull out of a roll, and I didn't even know to look for it. None of the other fairly comprehensive lists I had seen online listed that one. (Everyone knows about the 1995 DDO because Newsweek had an article on it back then.)

A word of advice: don't spread yourself too thin. Pick a denomination and figure it out, after you master it or tire of it, try a different one. If you go to a bank and ask for a handful of rolls for each denomination, you're going to have a bad time.

This advice is free. More detail and specifics will cost you. I accept payment in bank sealed, unsearched rolls.

Im not totally ignorant on these subjects; <i do have knowledge as to what is valuable> however I was trying to avoide a rabbit hole such as VAMs where there are hundreds of variants and very few offer premiums... I DO look for morgan VAMs and have knowledge on the subject (its too late for me)...

For roosevelts I did know about the silver and no mm 1982, however I wished to avoid searching every single coin with a loupe as I simply do not have the time, and do not wish to sacrifice my vision... An idea of dates to look for would've been nice. And I realize asking this was too much for some of you

Thanks to those that have tried to be helpful (you know who you are)

As for the other remarks; I am quite frankly suprised at how very UNhelpful they were

Everyone needs to dial it back a bit. We are hear to help. Please offer it with more smiles and less snark.

I am a little disappointed that a plurality thought a dog-pile would be more effective than counsel.
