Hi guys,
Yep, on this wonderful Saturday morning, went to my local bank to pick up some quarter rolls to Hunt.
They surprised me with these gems.
11 Rolls of the hot 2023p Bessie Coleman quarter rolls!
Yes! Hopefully, I can continue my luck with this "Women in History" series.
If anyone recalls what had happened to me about a month ago?
Well, to refresh ones memory. I had captured the only "Strike Through" 2023p Bessie Coleman quarter with the Strike right in the best location.
Under the Airplane engine, in which appears to have had the Airplane on fire! Thus, me naming the coin, the "Burning Airplane."
In which, someone bought from me on Ebay for $500!

Here is my spectacular find!



So far, no other such Strike Through has turned up.
Maybe, another is lurking in these 11?
We shall see.
I will keep you guys informed if and when I get lucky once again.
Thank you ALL.


Note:
I did find these 11 in the same vicinity where I found my "Burning Airplane" roll.

Have a Happy Easter everybody!

    You may have something there. It is a cool looking coin!

    No, the Strike Through I posted, was the Strike Through I found about 3-4 weeks ago.
    Thanks

    I placed 2 Rolls on Ebay!
    Maybe, I'll place a few more there if I do well with the first 2?

    What do ya mean, searched? Do you mean on all the ends? Right now, I only placed 2 on Ebay. I did search through 2 rolls.
    Nothing but MD initials, so far.
    Thanks 😊

    Wow someone paid $500 for a strike through?
    Not a bad profit at all for $.25 investment... Go, Joey!

    Great for the seller but someone paid $1000 for the first 1995 double die. Wouldn’t want to be the buyer.

    So true. Remember all the excitement back then?

    Of course, the 1995 ddo was a "variety" with many thousand found, and this strike through is probably unique as an "error."

    But $500? Joey laughing all the way to the bank...
    To pick up more rolls to search! 😆

    Yes, but don't be surprised if that same coin I sold, will turn out to be the only one?
    Rarity, and possible sell for double or more?
    We shall see.
    Thanks 😊

    Wouldn't a strike through like this be a one off?
    How would the piece still be there to strike another?
