I was looking up articles on different statehood quarter errors and came across this article on the top ten valuable coins found in pocket change.

What changes do would you make to the list?

The 1992 and 1992-D Wide AM cents might not be a bad addition.

Personally, I've found three coins on that list. I've found two 72 doubled dies, about 150 1999 Wide AMs, and a bazillion older date Jeffersons.

I'm still stunned by how you pulled that off too. Plus you got a pop top from it.

How bout the 83 and 84 DDR cents?

I look at all of the examples given. Always look at a 72 or 83 cents, searching for that doubling at face value.

Nice article!

I can think of nothing to change on the list but it could be expanded to include some of the less famous DDO/DDR coins.

Good article

1984 Double Ear Lincoln Cent could go on there.

I would include the circulation strikes type B quarters for 1969 D thru 1972 D especially 1972 D.
The silver B's seem to be quite popular these days. I would expect the clads to follow suit some day.

1995-D Doubled die Lincoln value $75?? If any of you guys want to sell for that let me know, that should be ahead of the 72 DDO as should the 1992-D and 1992-P close AM cents.

It's a good list since they're all coins you might actually find but there are far more valuable coins made in the past 45 years that might be found.

As far coins that are out there I'd add the off-metal Lincolns. These aren't worth a lot now but should be in the future.
