    Yup that looks like a 1968 torch to me. Good find.

    Yes that is it.
    Nice find.
    I don't want to burst your bubble but they're not really as scarce as they are sometimes marketed to be.
    Around these parts about 10% of the 1970-D dimes that I find are this variety.

    wow didn't know that....thanks hope to find more like it.

    The 1970 Philadelphia coin will be tougher...but it's a tougher coin to begin with (in relative terms.)
    Good eye to pick it out; once you know what these look like it becomes easy to spot them.

    eagle eye, I scan my change religiously......but you got to know your errors in all coin denominations to be on point to catch something special....I try the best i can....plus...you have to be pretty dedicated to it, as I am

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Excellent catch.... I too check my change.... though I would likely have missed this one.... I look for more apparent finds... such as a '55DDO... :D:D:D I really do check my change and I keep Wheaties as well... Cheers, RickO

    Got another 1970 D RO68 as change today. Maybe kinda common like Mannie Gray suggested

  • erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,396 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Going to have to check my stuff to see if I can cherry pick myself, LOL!!

    What is it worth?

  • CNCMACHINISTCNCMACHINIST Posts: 131 ✭✭✭

    well, you have to kinda go by what people pay on ebay and alike, from what I have seen maybe 80-300 dollard depending on grade. I believe mine are ms-63. Its what the market will bare I guess.

    Cool, good find. I do not see yours as an MS63, but maybe your pictures make it look flat. It looks AU to me.

    I am new to grading..i read the grading criteria in the redbook. I need to study up
