I’d keep it as is. That’s pretty cool, and it probably has extra value in the SMS packaging.

This week’s big hunt: $300 in nickels and $750 in dimes.
I saw that one box of nickels has 27 rolls of solid 2022-D! I’m in Florida! I got two year old brand new coins from the other side of the country!

Searching old silver Washington rolls...
I have only gone through 4 rolls. I found this and wanted to ask you all about it...
For 1963-D, Cherrypickers and CoinFacts only mention a DDO... but I found:
Here is the full coin... 1963-D/D RPM?
Here is a MM close-up... what do you think?

Looks like it to me. Isn't there a way to report new varieties?

@sedulous It looks like machine doubling with the flat shelf-like appearance plus there is serious MD not noticeable (except R in Quarter) due to the significant amount of wear to the coin. Either that or I have managed to pass over several new discoveries.

After reading your notes, I took the coin to my local dealer over lunch. He believes it to be real seeing it in hand (a real D/D)
Well, I have to admit it looks real but I’m no professional on these. In fact once I got a taste of high grade MS coins I basically quit looking for the minor errors and such.
LOL guys, guys, guys! That's cool and all but I thought the point was to find the highest grades
I was just doing exactly that when I noticed the nice luster and halo on this Kennedy. Unfortunately, there were a few hits in the left field and head so, I was just about to throw this mint set in the sell pile when fortunately, I took another look.

These (date run) were anything but a dud in fact almost every pack has at least one stunner. These truly were from a collector and a collector of sets as well obviously. No way every set could be this good on accident.
I’ll post pics and/or TVs, later 😎

Agree, at some point I just have to go sit down… like right now. So that was a nice surprise I have found two of those already but they were in ms 63 pretty sure this one will go 66 or close anyway.

I always loved finding those. A lot of people think all the nice sets are gone and have been for decades but between the destruction of sets that come to market and the segregation of sets by quality the average is barely lower at all. Where there is a difference is with varieties which are removed when identified so are grossly underrepresented.
Very few people collected the sets or the coins n them until the late-'70's but even before this it was possible to find groups of Gems. The best I ever found were several of each SMS that had been cherry picked. This was in the early-'90's and the cameos and Gems we re obviously not distributed together because they were from different dies.

I’m an optimist so the sheer number minted and produced is all I need.
Lately, I’ve kept it to unopened boxes but these were from a seller that I also bought unopened boxes from so roll the bones and roll they did.
I’m more excited for tomorrow’s shipment of around 15 boxes of 5 starting in the seventies bouncing around through 1998. The X factor here, they all have the same zip code, obviously same address that is blacked out. So again, from one collector to another and so on.
These are the finds from the same hunt as the dollar coin box.

Yes he can send it into Variety Vista or to Wexler or CONECA has an attribution area on there site as well. any of those will attribute new varieties.

Disclaimer: I'm not a dealer, trader, grader, investor or professional numismatist. I'm just a hobbyist. (To protect me but mostly you! 🤣 )
It's the DDO. Check out the doubling in Trust and a few other places.
Yes, I know. And it's a nice one!
Disclaimer: I'm not a dealer, trader, grader, investor or professional numismatist. I'm just a hobbyist. (To protect me but mostly you! 🤣 )
No! It can also be a race to the bottom. A straight graded P0-1 Kennedy could be as elusive as an MS-70.
Disclaimer: I'm not a dealer, trader, grader, investor or professional numismatist. I'm just a hobbyist. (To protect me but mostly you! 🤣 )
Yeah but you can make one of those with a sander
This reminds me of the movie Castaway but instead of rubbing two sticks together he was rubbing this Kennedy in the sand.
And besides, what do you mean "What do you mean" if you already know what I mean?
Not to be mean, but, I found this mean looking 1940 nickel, no mint mark, tonight.
