    Well, I found 3 that look like the real deal. Let's just hope at least 1, matches. Paid hardly nothing for them. lol. Bought a SMS 1965 DD Kennedy and the three coins, she only charged me $5.

    Go for it.

  • bolivarshagnastybolivarshagnasty Posts: 7,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would agree with coins #1 and #2 being the d/d.

    Those examples in F to VF probably worth 35 to 50. Certainly not worth having them graded.
    I picked the example above years ago at a coin show. Graded ms64.

    Graded ms64 non full step initially at PCGS. Years later I saw it in an NGC ms65fs holder after I had sold.

  • joeykoinsjoeykoins Posts: 16,209 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Going back, Monday, to finish the picking! Notice a whole roll unopened? Well, at least, partial? Lol.

    Here's my other Pick. SMS Kennedy 1965 DDO. I picked this same DDO, about two weeks ago.

    Yes-that '65 50c is a doubled die but it's so minor it isn't worth a premium.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice finds on the nickels.... They are out there, just takes an effort to search for them. Good luck... Cheers, RickO

    It's nice to score stuff like that 🙂

  • DCWDCW Posts: 7,381 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice job. I agree that coins #1 and 2 are probably the variety.
    Tough to determine when a coin circulates down to that level, but your photos appear to show that horizontal D.
    Now hurry back with a handful more. Maybe an AU is hiding in those rolls!

    That is a remarkable stroke of luck.
    I have only found 2 of these and have been looking since the 80s.

    Well, this is probably the reason why.

    About 10 rolls to go through. Lol

    Where are you finding a dealer that is letting you go through all those rolls and cherrypick? My local guy in the 1990s had a wall full of Lincoln rolls and he wouldn't let me exhale on them, nevermind search them.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    There lots more of potential goodies in that date range-1939, 1942, 1943, 1945, 1954-S, and 1955-D are the good ones and more of a minor to moderate nature for many of the rest. I once got to search a box of tubes like that of Buffalo nickels 20-25 years ago and found a '36-D 3 1/2 legged in fine and a full good 18/17-D among others.

    Over the 30 years searching this series, located only two MS examples and sold them because I needed to get on with a few things in life. Always figured I'd find another. Same thing with the 53-S, had several at one time. Came from a smelter in Missouri. He said they would throw both the canvas bag and coins into the fire. And have recently found another. Use to own 3 54-S in ANACS holders and still have one left, 61-D's could be bought through coin world, Numismatic News although the strikes and steps were flawed. Traded them for other coins.
    Congrats on the great finds!

    I wouldn't.
    You would be upside down in the coin after grading fees, not even mentioning the added cost of variety attribution.

    Each one is only valued approximately $50 tops, huh? :*
    Pictured is my last questionable find. Whatcha guy's think, another one or no? Thanks. :)
