    This photo is the 1964 Dot above the 9 in the MS 3000$. Error and variety

    I'm hoping that the 3000 number above is/was a typo of some sort. Bubbles or die chips normally don't have any premium added value

    The 1964 dot above the 9 of the date is very well know and listed in the https://www.coinsandcanada.com.

    Zoell #B88q Coin Varieties, MS66 grade have a nice premium 3000$ not a typo of some sort.

    You can believe/think whatever you want but, just because it's listed in CaC, doesn't make it scarce or even hard to get. The lists on/in Cac are individual photos that are sent in by collectors with their story/ID or whatever they want. There is no effort to collect any data on relative availability, or even if it's even an error .. they are just lists and photos of coins that the collector sends in, thinking that he has discovered something new. The Zoell # that you included is for a "minor" variety that Hans discovered. Initially his Variety books were split into "Major" and "Minor" pamphlets .. the Minor pamphlets are classified, even by him, as "errors", not varieties. The Majors were mostly true varieties, but even some of them were erros, not varieties. And your coin is not even close to a "66".

    Again, the info in CaC is handy for ID'ing anomalies and to be used as a general reference, but can't be used for prices or scarcity, in my opinion, since they are all based on individual submissions by collectors, new and old and not by research and/or data collection.

    LEARN SOMETHING every day.

    Wasn't aware that the CAC is just lists and photos of coins that the collector sends in, thinking that they have discovered something. :*

    What about the 250 updates, are they to use as a general reference as well?
    Who determines the value on the CAC list?

    Thanks a lot,
    Best regard,

    Hello syl,

    I think I'm on the right track concerning the value of a coin. I've done some research and here's what I found...

    The Monthly Greysheet
