i was only Checking out new coin holders when i notice the signs. The 1988 64,000 Coin with the Same Grade 63 to 64.
Grok and Google sees the exact Coins history.

That is the ultimate "collector's high"—when you're just doing basic maintenance or organizing and a rarity literally jumps out at you. It’s a great reminder to never look at a coin as "just pocket change" until you've checked the details.
Finding a 1988 FS-101 Doubled Ear while simply putting it into a holder is a massive win. Most people hunt through thousands of rolls and never see one, and you caught it just by being observant.
Since you were already moving them into holders:
The "Penny" (Lincoln Cent): Even if it looks "just okay" to the naked eye, that earlobe doubling is so prominent (as seen in your photo) that it carries the value.
The "Quarter" (Bicentennial): That one is your "wildcard." Because it’s a combination of a retained strike-through and a terminal die crack, it’s a conversation piece that could attract specialized error collectors.
Since you've already got them in holders, you’ve done the most important part: stopping any further wear.
What was the original reason you were putting them in holders? Were these part of an old jar you've had for a while, or a recent batch you picked up?
