Great thread idea... we have had a few discovery coins by members. Cheers, RickO
Even though CaptHenway was the catalyst for the discovery that the Sacagawea Cheerios Dollars has a "pattern" reverse, another board member had the "Discovery Specimen". I don't know if he is still active here or not. I have a photo of it but will wait to see if he will post the photo of the coin.
Probably the only one I'll ever own, but I'm still looking for a 75-S BF-17.
mine are locked away at the moment. We are moving to a new building. If this thread is still going in December I'll post them.
@Coinstartled ,,,,, I think the OP is too obscure.

Nonsense, I disagree. Many discovery coins are even "labeled as such." One of mine is while the two others were bought after I realized the variety was unrecognized and published the discovery.
Great post, thanks for sharing !!!

If that is the three legged variety, you really have something!

Most of the images have been deleted, but these threads made history. Maybe someone can post images?
