Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 12:15 am I was about to go to bed and I said to myself, "Just one more handful" and look what I think I found. Does anyone else think this is what I think this is? In the comparison photo the one on the left is a normal 1997-p. I appreciate all opinions, thanks.

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 06:34 am Yes, I can see at least 5 or 6 other areas (they're kind of tiny) with my loupe. Also, I can find two of the three markers in CC. Report this Post to the Staff

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 09:23 am I am jealous, John1, it is a cool looking coin. I would still like to find your avatar, though, that is the coolest of the ear doubled dies imho. Edited by Sudz 05/20/2013 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 11:18 am I get a $50 bag of pennies from my bank, they save them for me, and I go through the 5,000 pennies as quickly as I can (about 4-5 days). Like most of you, I suspect, I have memorized the majority of what to look for. Also, since I just started doing this Error/Variety coin thing in March, I feel that I have a little "beginner's luck" going on. Add to that the fact that I live in a fairly small town without much competition and right now I am like a kid in a candy shop and having a blast!

coinaki Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 11:56 am Way to go Suds!! Congrats! I'm still looking for my first DEar, but I have patience... I started only 3 months ago. Report this Post to the Staff
Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 12:49 pm I know what you mean, coinaki, as far as DD's are concerned, I have found 2 D-Ears (1997,2006), a major and several small columnar LMC DDR's, a few 2009 FY DDR's and yet no doubled letters or numbers. I keep patiently hoping for my first. coinaki, since you and I both started about the same time don't you think the people on this forum are great. I feel like I am being a given college-level education for free. Amazing! Report this Post to the Staff

I guess going through 1,000 coins per day would get you the results he's getting. Wow, that's quite a lot of checking, Suds. Good for you if you got the time. Report this Post to the Staff
