Well, after finding the 1980 DDO on October 16th, November 2nd had a little gift for me as well. I went through two more boxes between the 16th and yesterday, when I picked up this current box, and I found absolutely nothing but wheat cents and rather minor error coins - per the usual. I had cracked into about 20 or so of the rolls in this box when I found this coin. In a box of pure, regularly wrapped rolls (hand-wrapped customer rolls, oh yes), there was a singular red wrapper roll. I found this 1972 P DDO #2 in there! I had yet to find a single 1972 DDO while coin roll hunting, though I could count the 1972 D DDO #2 that I found earlier this year. Maybe I should call the bank and see if they have any more red wrapper rolls.  I did not have my magnifier with me, so these close ups may be low-quality (iPhone 5c), but the doubling is major enough to pick up without one. Anyways, here are the photos, and I hope my good luck streak continues!    Before 10-minute 100% distilled acetone soak:   After acetone soak and distilled water rinse:   Doubling:      |

Some people have all the luck.  Of course, it would probably help if I actually got rolls to search.  Congrats!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

CC...I just looked at your post and you had stated been going through the box finding "nothing but wheat cents and rather minor error coins - per the usual". I was wondering what you look for (as far as variety's) when going through a box. I am new at this and would like to pull out anything others may have an interest in. It not only would help me learn more about the coins I'm going through, but might start a collection for me. Worst case I could always trade or sell them if I did not end up keeping them for myself. Hopefully you could post a list of the things you try to look for when going through a box. I assume you don't look for all of the hundreds (and probably thousands) or minor errors & variations. If anyone else hunts cents, I would love to heat the same from all of you. Thanks for your continued help.

Well, I actually just look at dates to see if doubling is evident and for other minor error coins. I have done years of research into the Lincoln Cent series and it took my a year and a half to get a good grip on it. Look at doubleddie.com and study the varieties; pay specific attention to the different types of doubled dies and how they effect the coin. Also look at the worthless doubling section. I'm actually compiling what I consider a "master list" of significant errors for myself that I might be able to post somewhere on here in the future. |

Cool...ty for the reply. Right now I got the newbie bug. Almost 24x7 YouTube videos, CCF board, various info sites like doubleddie.com, & ebay (to watch actual sales of actual coins). I do look at the various variety's, it is just hard to tell the difference between some of them at my stage in the game. I will check the worthless doubling section as I don't remember looking in there. I do appreciate the help. ThankYouVeryMuch (in my best Latka voice if your old enough to remember Taxi). |
