CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 12/16/2019 1:14 pm Traded a cigarette to a guy on the street for three dimes and got the coin pictured below as one of them. nothing jumped out at me initially, but I referred back to my copy of striking it rich with pocket change, and noticed that it appeared to contain the proof reverse error mentioned in the book which refers to a deeper strike on the grooves in the torch as compared to the business strike. According to the book, in 1970 every business strike dime, regardless of the mint, has the potential of containing this error which is pretty cool. I think I probably have it, but I'm throwing it out there to get the group's opinion. Thanks in advance guys. Edited by CouchDiver1978 12/16/2019 1:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/16/2019 6:19 pm These prices seem out of line to me. On the CPG book, they don't list circulated coin prices at all. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 12/16/2019 7:30 pm That's it, nice find! Strike It Rich With Pocket Change's price guide tends to be really far off. The proof reverses of 1970 aren't hard to find in circulated grades, definitely not worth that much. Report this Post to the Staff
CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 12/16/2019 10:26 pm So 4 one of these in fine to extra fine what do y'all think? A dollar, $5, $10? Maybe a pack of Marlboro Lights... Still not bad for a dime if so. Edited by CouchDiver1978 12/16/2019 10:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 12/16/2019 10:36 pm So apparently they're not all that scarce, though undoubtedly less common then the design intended, it seems the meaningful value would be in early die state and/or uncirculated condition. Thanks for the feedback guys! Edited by CouchDiver1978 12/16/2019 10:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
