    It IS special, Swampy! Look at the FG. See how big it is? 1973 is the only year it appears, because the Mint made Gasparro make it smaller for 1974.

    I consider 1973 to be a one year Type Coin, although it has no big following as such.

    WOW! Great pick up. I would never think anything like that would remotely be found in a roll.

    1936 DDO Lincoln Wheat Cent. 1914-D Lincoln Wheat cent. 1922- no D , Strong reverse Lincoln wheat cent. They all graded VF. Not great, but fun.

    Coin roll hunting is like Good Will Hunting, I guess.

    That's what made undated Lincoln error collecting nice back then. If it had the big initials you knew it was a '73.

    Well, the 5 plus pounds of uncirculated late 50's early 60's pennies from one box was memorable.

    My best find ever (never ever to be outdone or even matched by me, I realize) was a 2016 nickel struck over a 2015 nickel, found in a bank box of new 2016 nickel rolls.

    It was black from grease and I almost overlooked the understrike details, but I was thankful for the grease as I assumed that is what caused it to stick around at the mint for a second ride through the presses in 2016.

    My Avatar, not sure I want to have it graded though as it might ruin it for me :)
