Craziest day coin hunting!! I'm back!

So I want to tell you the story lol. Me and my twin (who has an account in here) where going to the local coin shop after work. He knows I'm into toners so he pointed a gorgeous 1943-P nickel that had nice toning, amazing Condition and it had a lamination error. Only paid 4$ for it. Next I bought a roll of 1955-s unc. Wheat cents. I got home and was looking over the nickel with my loupe and to my surprise I had picked up a 1943-P DDO!! I'm not sure which one it is exactly but man oh man I couldn't believe I didn't see that when I bought it! Then.. I started going through my unc. Wheat cents and I've found three triple rpms. S/S/S, 9 of the Rev. Die clashes , about 12 s/s rpms. And a few nice die chips on the Rev. Of the wheat and the date on the obverse. I still have half the roll to check. Sorry my pic skills aren't the best as some of you might remember. But I will out better pics up tomorrow!!

    Thanks man! I'm excited to look through the rest of my wheat cents Tom. I'm worn out lol. My brother turned me to the nickel so if he didn't I wouldn't have found it !

    It’s cool the way the world works sometimes, always a surprise around the corner. Congrats! Fun to get enjoyment out of time with a brother and what is basically coffee money now days.

    ... No. Do not waste money on air tight capsules. That is what they have tubes for. Or just keep them in flips. Unless someone disagrees

    Also those were the OBVERSE die clashes. Not the reverse. With a few chips on the wheat stalks Wich some call a extra leaf or something to that nature.

    In my 30+ years of roll searching/cherrypicking I have found that 4 things determine success at it.
    Knowledge/study
    Persistence
    Networking -- establish a group of dealers who will allow you to do what you do WITH their consent.
    This one is tricky as it can take a lot of time and work, and you have to produce results.
    There are a lot of dealers who don't have the time/inclination to variety search, and they may be willing to
    work with you if you make it worth their while. They will have to trust you, and as I said, this will take time but
    will pay off when word gets around that you can make them money (and yourself) from stuff that they had
    little or no hopes for. And if you do, trust me, word will get around, and you will have more material to go
    through than you ever imagined.
    Persistence --OK, really there are only 3 things.

    The third one is the trickiest, as you have to throw yourself out there and really work at it. I found that most dealers would rather make 50% on their "junk" than 0%.
    But you have to put out feelers and find the right people who will work with you.

    Ao I cant match any die markers for that nickel. I was thinking it was an 001 early stage or new die variety.?

    Thank you! Only problem is I can't match any die markers. And it was closest to the 001 so I was thinking it was ann001 early stage or a new listing perhaps?
