1904 S-10
Early Half Eagle - 1804 'Small Date over Large Date" variety. This was caused when the wrong date logos were initially used to punch the date into the obverse die. Soon enough, someone at the mint realized the error in their ways. There is a normal "small 8" variety which is more common and just doesn't have the pizazz this variety possesses.
I like that you don’t need to squint through a microscope to see this one.

Cool thread. Varieties. My favorite aspect of the hobby!
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I've always been fond of cameo Franklins. Found some of these while searching raw sets.

This is 1805/4 O.103b/T-11, a rare overdate with around 35 known, and much less in this VLDS. This overdate came later in 1805 with the new obverse hub, so it was most likely a blundered date rather than a left over unused 1804 die - as was the case with O.101 and 102. Don't have a reverse image handy. This is one of the most desired varieties of the series with the dramatic cracks and retained triangular cud.

A 1930-S Buff with a near complete missing neck, possibly due to excessive die polishing. Ribbon ties and braid have some missing detail, too.
1857 Flying Eagle Cent, Snow-7 (clashed with a $20 gold piece). Picked it up unattributed off eBay about a month ago, it's currently with PCGS for grading. I expect it'll come back Very Good Details, Corroded.
1956 proof type 1 Franklin is next on my list.

This one is a little esoteric, so not everyone will appreciate it. It's the 1812/1 large 8.

Besides being the highly sought after DDR, the coin also looks a little "rotated"?

I research Franklin varieties. Here is a discovery piece I found that is so far unique. It is attributed by Dr. Wiles and is the only one reported, so far.

There aren't too many varieties in classic commems that are common, but this is one that I found to be slightly interesting. This is FS-501:
If I ever find a nice Grant with star silver commem, it might be a fun one too.

This is what a Gem BU looks like.
Working on a set of these:
These are some more Gem BU coins of mine. The San Diego sold recently. They are undoubtedly PQ.
