For now, I'm focusing on 4 rolls of uncirculated 1975-d pennies from an estate sale. I have not yet looked through these, but I did open a roll to see general condition and share a few pics. I will say, the older lady that collected these clearly didn't have a good magnifier or microscope. She's had some of the dates wrong, and I doubt she would have been able to see errors, so I'm hopeful that these are truly unsearched in that regard. (I also have 7 rolls of 1960 small date to look through for D/D). But before I get to that, it's time to painstaking look over these coins. Looking for: *MS67 or higher *DDO (3(?) varieties) General die errors I may need some help if I find a few DDO potentials - these double dies seem to be hard for me to differentiate, even with the microscope. At least my 1995 was obvious! I'll be posting some of the funner finds, if any. The rolls  Example from one of the first coins.  Couple of nicer ones out of the first little bit I poured out.  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Best of luck with the search. The coins do look nice.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I see you like estate sales I do too I used to be really into them until they started getting further away from me up to Connecticut. Haven't had any luck here in Pennsylvania . I like the 1947 wheat you have very nice. So far it seems you've been doing well I'm sure there's going to be something down the pike for you . Keep up the post, like finds you're getting and best of luck on your estate endeavors.

First roll down! No evidence yet of any DDOs, but honestly - even staring at examples I still lack a lot of confidence to identify them! Here are the 2 best coins found so far COIN 1   COIN 2   Roll 2 and 3 coming tonight. Probably won't post anymore "best" unless they top these 2. Hope to post a variety! |

Before I post these... I'm going to state I am not positive they are DDO, nor am I saying I found a DDO, but 2 of these coins do look notably different than the other coins. Here is the most prominent one. Ok, now the post (with disclaimer above lol)   |
