...thanks for the eyeballs & thanks John1 for the link ...
...a friend / neighbor of mine passed a few years ago, leaving a 5 gal jar (half - filled) with pocket change from the last 40 years ... I went through it for his wife, finding a fair amount of silver, mostly dimes ... he also had a sack (filled by his mother 60-70 years ago) of silver ...halves, quarters, dimes & about 30 or so Morgans &
Peace dollars... (wow)
...I cataloged & put anything of value, over face, into marked holders for her (the silver), then began the 2- month long task of searching the regular stuff for anything of value
...all of the error/problem coins that I have listed here came from that stash ...
...upon completion of my search, I had about 100 coins with errors/problems ... long story short, nothing of any particular value, as 99.9% of the 'errors' are common & no value above face ...
...however, looking on
ebay, seeing incredulous prices for about 1/2 of what I'd found, I thought my buddy's wife had hit the jackpot ... turns out all of the
ebay stuff was a fraud being run by the sellers ...
...I've learned a lot by posting here, & appreciate all of the comments & help I've gotten ... if nothing else, it's a great learning experience, & something I can enjoy in my spare time ...
...Thanks, again, for all the help, & I particularly enjoy the sarcasm ... John
