    Yes, I do turn dreck into cash, which in turn goes into a really nice coin. Over and over again, rinse and repeat. An amzingling simple business model.

    It is a tremendous amount of work. I do dread it. I was suppose to go Kayak fishing today but bailed.

    I may go out on a boat rockfishing next week tho. Hope to get all this work done before then.

    All work and no play.

    Is that original toning or artificial toning on the pomegranate, can't tell from the photos. Could you post a better pic and focus on the reverse.

    I think the reason you have such a great sense of humour is "You get to play with coins all day". Don't see how you can call that work. Man I would volunteer to work for you without pay just to be able to do that all day long. Congrats on some good looking collections also. Looking at the pics makes me realize I am ignorant about error coins, I thought that due to exceptional quality control at the mints, error coins would be few and far between. What an eye opener.

    Sweet. I'm out of the fun stuff to process, down to about 25 pounds of World Coins, a double row box of RPMs, and about 200 BU & OBW rolls of Lincolns and Jeffersons to go through, but not much in the error realm.

    But next show is next week and a few times a year I get "Hey - I bought this huge collection, but don't mess with errors or varieties - I set this box aside for you" - fingers crossed!

    What are you doing with those rolls of new cents? I just got 4 boxes of 2018 cents figuring it would be a quick review - then I heard there was a known DD. :s So many coins, so little patience...

    Anyone know if the 2018 DD is common?

    That photos make the date look so BIG. I spot checked a few 2018 cents and the dates are really really small in real life. :(:D

    Apparently, I am wrong as I went by just the photo. That said, I would never give that coin any extra value.

    I do not do Double Dies at all. No RPM's Either. As an Error guy, I have never even owned the very common 1955 DD.

    Ok, those are some cool errors. Just where in the heck do they come from? Can't be in rolls like that when they can't fit. Maybe 'splain what they are?

    The best thing about being a coin dealer is that you get to do what you want when you want as long as all the deadlines are met. I have had a few back to back 16 hour work days so I decided it was time to go out into the Pacific Ocean to get taco meat. ...
