ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19140 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 08:02 am Nice example. Unfortunate the reverse has that corrosive blivit. Still, very cool. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188052 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 09:26 am The reverse is unfortunate, but at 107 years it is still a nice example! Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 10:29 am I look at the error forums regularly even though I haven't spent a lot of time searching my coins. I know that DDs and RPMs can carry premiums, even on circulated coins and especially if listed in Cherrypicker's Guide. Although I have stumbled across a couple of Cuds and laminations over the years, I have not looked through my huge pile of wheat cents in detail for these anomalies. Do these also carry premiums, enough for me to spend the time searching? I'll be glad to do that and put my CP to good use. Just curious. Thanks.

uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 11:46 am Thanks EV , Bump111 , responding to your question the short answer is yes , they add value to your coin the bigger and most unusual carry more value in my opinion Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19140 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 11:51 am Yes. Spectacular (emphasis on spectacular) lamination issues can increase the value of a coin--but not enough to pay for seats on the 50 yard line at an obscure college football bowl game.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 2:34 pm Very few people get rich from collecting coins, in fact, if you calculate what you make per hour you will be disappointed. Just have fun in the hunt. Report this Post to the Staff
igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1464 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 2:53 pm I like this one, despite the corrosion on the reverse. Nice find Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 3:49 pm Thanks for the replies. I'm not really trying to calculate monetary payback per hour. Since I still work full time, I have limited time to spend on my collection and try to focus on areas where there is reason to holder coins and make notes. I've done this with all my Morgan dollars and Buffalo nickels, but with very few Lincoln cents - only those where the anomaly was obvious to the naked eye. SO many more of those to put under the stereoscope! "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
