Everyone has their own terminology I guess....I call the Lp2 boxes "mint boxes" because they were directly mint issued and mailed to the consumer by ordering them from their website and
I call the 50 roll boxes "bank boxes" because the mint distributed millions of cents through "roll packaging" companies like Strings and Sons for distribution in boxes of 50 rolls, usually
through a bank.
If the roll has the government issued wrapping I call those "mint rolls" even if they happen to have been removed from the white box they were shipped in.
I call them "formative rolls" if an outside agency packaged them for distribution.
Whew...I just tuckered myself out with all of that...good night....Happy Thanksgiving....and two Turkey Legs up!
I have more trouble trying to get a picture up here than you can imagine. I learn how to do it and when I go to use it again I can not remember how I did it last time.
I'm gonna stick with the major errors. I've posted pics for some of my "discoveries" throughout the years with little ripple effect from others on this forum...so don't think you're alone.

Hey One Dollar I did get some 001 and 002 today and they are going as high as 80.00 graded. So I will have to send some coins out soon. Even if I decide to sell my coins at 2.00 a piece I have enough to make a small profit lol I am now addicted to these so I know I will have to have my share of flops and that is ok. I have some 23, 27, 28 and 29 on the way and opening them up is just going to be to much fun
private listings for bid history...price seems a little inflated from my experience. what say you? If this is legit it means my listings are WAY underpriced....I just sold an 006 for $10.50
Wow just looked at your link, I will be listing my oo1 and 002 tomorrow (Sunday) Might even list my 1995 DDO BU it is raw but amazing full red should go MS67-68

Suspicious -- only two bidders. Either a bidding war or shill, thinkin the latter.
And -- that's no 006 -- 001 you betcha...

I'm going to have to find that buyer...lol Too bad they are private bids and you can't find out who it is. It's not too late to buy it...still an hour + for bidding...right now only $20.50!
All the good boxes get scooped up as soon as they hit ebay but they are not hitting as often any more. We were always able to find some until recently.
I am fairly active every day deep sea fishing on ebay for the little white boxes. They are quite elusive.

Yes Papi it is the same coin now enlarge it to the same size as mine and see what it looks like. This is a very large enlargement and I did not do a depth of field multy shot image stack. Is this one a bit better? This is my first attempts using this set up and I still do not have the proper lights.
Agreed. John with that setup you should be getting great pix. Mine were with a cheaper point and shoot.
It's all about the lighting. You still have some glare adversely affecting your shots. Glare is your enemy. Try some diffusers -- even a blank sheet of copier paper can help between the coin and lights. I've even used my fingers to shield the glare. Keep trying!

yep working on it but I need to build a copy stand for better stability or buy one. I like building things though as you can tell from this set up. I am about 1in away from the coin so lighting is a bit tricky especially because this is being shot through the holder.
I saw those listed and couldn't quite pull the trigger. Just goes to show you can't win if you don't enter the race.
You truly are becoming the DDR Godfinger.

1- possible new error images to come!!!!
Not saying that something new in these boxes can't be discovered after almost 5 years, but highly unlikely.
Gas bubbles can be mistaken for die defects
I cant get it to print but I had it on about 3 months ago showing a whole line of gas bubbles across a WDDR 006.

Here is a pic of the die crack off my new rig let me know what you thik of the pics and what kind of value does this die crack have?
You sure have some fancy camera equipment there. Looks like it takes some great pictures.
Show us some good ones of that 006 that you have.
Any better
Alot of the issue is the holder and we are seeing the texture of the surface of the coin.
It's all about the lighting. You still have some glare adversely affecting your shots. Glare is your enemy. Try some diffusers -- even a blank sheet of copier paper can help between the coin and lights. I've even used my fingers to shield the glare. Keep trying!

Sweet; the 1s sell for about $9 & the 2s for about $6 on Ebay. I don't even pay attention to the 3s
I bought 2 bank boxes on ebay one of which was an opened box.
Looked at that box with my dinoscope and found.
3 rolls with 025 on the end of roll.
6 rolls with 032 on the end of roll.
I have opened 10 rolls so far and found 31 925's and 92 032's.
Have not looked at the other box yet.
He has more of these boxes on ebay.
I paid $144 for the 2 boxes, the others are about half of that but they appear sealed so I have no idea if they have errors.
The seller is Hartfield coin and jewelery.
I did open the 2nd box I got from them and found nothing on the end rolls but have not opened any rolls.
Edited to correct spelling
I saw those listed and couldn't quite pull the trigger. Just goes to show you can't win if you don't enter the race.

The 025 seems to be your mother-load coin. Maybe instead of the Double Pinky, we should call it "Boss Finger".
The 2 coins I sure don't need.
Yes Papi, i did hit the mother load on those.

That's what I mean about the bank boxes
It is hard to justify buying a bank box at todays prices when most of them contain no errors.
These were cheap compared to most of them so I just said "what the hell" and bought them.
