The only Lincolns I need in the 40-74 folder are 1943-D, 1954, 1955-S.
May never find the 54 and 55-S.

ricko · March 3, 2020 7:04AM

@mannie gray....Filling a Lincoln album from rolls and change is fun....and still cheap except for keys....Cheers, RickO

Coinscratch · March 3, 2020 4:15PM

@mannie gray I found a nice 55 a while back. Now i’ll have to see if it’s an S.

isaiah58 · March 3, 2020 5:19PM

Thought I had a nice 55 S, until I checked the reverse. I took these experimenting with lighting.

Mdcoincollector2003 · March 3, 2020 6:32PM

Found my first proof cent today and it was a dandy. A beautiful, almost flawless Philadelphia mint 1961 proof cent.

Coinscratch · March 5, 2020 4:36PM

To my surprise it is a 55 S.
I’ll have to check the price guide I’m guessing ms65/66

isaiah58 · March 5, 2020 5:43PM

AU 55 maybe, isn't there rub from the forehead down through the coat?

I think so. After closer inspection it always gets worse. I thought it was just the cell phone pic so I took some more pics with my scope. And a couple with added light from my cell phone from different angles just to show the luster. It'l look good in Mannie's album

ricko · March 6, 2020 7:04AM

Good pictures... The S looks like it has been slightly hit on the bottom curl....Nice find and will look good in an album. Cheers, RickO

bearcave · March 6, 2020 9:04AM

I used to have a roll of 1955 S cents. Not no more!

Jeremytriplej32 · March 6, 2020 2:39PM

Found a bunch of 1970 S double dies. Jackpot? i want to sell a few very nice ungraded non certified examples at a bargain price, let me know if youre interested.

Jeremytriplej32 · March 6, 2020 2:56PM

ChrisH821 · March 6, 2020 4:10PM

@Jeremytriplej32 those are not the 1970-S DDO. The DDO looks like this:

Jeremytriplej32 · March 6, 2020 10:11PM

what am install requested i seeing, this is a 1970 S

The image is too distorted to tell if it is actually doubling however it looks doubled in the L.

Coinscratch · March 6, 2020 10:13PM

Can you take a pic more in focus?

emeraldATV · March 6, 2020 10:36PM

Try this.
Can't see doubling.
But focus is the factor.
Carry on.

Jeremytriplej32 · March 7, 2020 6:05AM

I dont know, this is as good as my ipad can do for pics.

Coinscratch · March 7, 2020 7:20AM

Google Opti-Tekscope, I think I paid $80.

Which is real and which is memorex?

The first is a DDO, the second MD

Coinscratch · March 7, 2020 6:21PM

You need some jams when coin roll hunting...
Edited for this works better with coins...

So close.

Yet, so far away.

emeraldATV · March 7, 2020 9:44PM

Well, I open 4 rolls every night. ( US 1 cent, from a box of 50, looks like loomis but no name, from the bank)
Last night found this 1993.
Mild doubling on both sides through the whole strike.
Sorry no whole photos available as of present time, but my I.T. department is working on it. (lol)
Luster is blinding and dont trip on the steps.

DBSTrader2 · March 7, 2020 11:20PM

Looking to score the last few ATB quarters from 2019, I went to the local bank & picked up a few quarter rolls, along with a couple nickel rolls as well.

Didn't find any of the Q's I needed, but I did find a Buffalo Nickel! Nic-A-Date candidate, but always a minor thrill to still find these lurking out there!

aj2525rr · March 8, 2020 9:27AM

Hello,

I just got a 63-D quarter out of two rolls I got from the bank to look for the latest America the Beautiful quarters. I do not remember the last time I got a silver quarter from a roll.

Coinscratch · March 8, 2020 12:31PM

@emeraldATV
I unroll a box a night, 3 or 4 days a week sometimes more. But I’m quick mostly looking for high grades aside from the usual suspects, 66, 68, 69, 72, 83, 84, 88, 92, 94, 98, 99, 00, 06, did I miss any

ricko · March 8, 2020 3:37PM

@aj2525rr....Welcome aboard.... A silver quarter in a roll... cool...don't find many of them anymore. Good luck in your searches...Cheers, RickO

Do you look for 69-D no FG?
1964 has a really nice DDR ...

Many thanks for the W quarters from your recent GTG contest.
Your enthusiasm and generosity and willingness to "let us in" on your learning curve have been genuinely refreshing.
Thank you !😎😎

Coinscratch · March 9, 2020 8:48AM

@mannie gray The pleasures all mine. And the information especially the kind you can’t find on the net is priceless. Not to mention the hospitality. I have found several no 69 FG’s but no 64’s just yet. 😎
Edited: Oh wait this is the net

Jeremytriplej32 · March 9, 2020 11:37AM

i weighed this coin its copper, is it the small date?

Negative. That is the large date.

Here is the small date.

Jeremytriplej32 · March 9, 2020 3:20PM

2008 D Hawaii quarter. Is this doubling on the reverse? I was checking and didnt see anything about a double die 2008 D Hawaii quarter. Thoughts and opinions?

Coinscratch · March 9, 2020 3:31PM

@Jeremytriplej32
Again, the pics are too blurry to tell. If I had to guess I would say machine doubling but I can’t even tell where the doubling is from those pics. Sorry

ricko · March 9, 2020 3:34PM

I see no doubling at all in those pictures....could be the blur or the glare. That being said, if there is anything there, it is most likely machine doubling. Cheers, RickO

emeraldATV · March 9, 2020 7:55PM

Yes, large as shown.
One fact (breaking news) must be kept in mind.
See the 8 on the small ?
Match it, regardless of large or small 2.
More details to follow.

tom1 · March 9, 2020 10:30PM

Woww. You have so many coins. I would like to save different coins but I didn't get much coins. From whwre I will get different coins?

ricko · March 10, 2020 5:09AM

@tom1....Welcome aboard.... You can get coins at a local coin shop, coin shows or online coin dealers (google is your friend). Also, the BST here (Buy, Sell, Trade forum) is a great source with no extra fees. Good luck...Cheers, RickO

Coinscratch · March 10, 2020 7:46AM

@tom1 . I like to get them from banks and stores, this way your only paying face value.

emeraldATV · March 10, 2020 8:07PM

Last night was very odd in a way out, way.
Had 4 rolls to go, and only got through 1.
4-5 hours with one roll. Dont ask. Will show all as time and space permits.

is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection.

Coinscratch · March 10, 2020 8:50PM

@emeraldATV . That's cool. I like the one you did a while back that had the moving effect, kinda like the strange symmetrical pics designed to measure stress levels. Perhaps, I should smoke some of that stuff you got But then the pics might speed up even more

That's an excellent tutorial there, 1630Boston!

Is the top one a 1971 DDO or one of the many 1972 DDO? Either way a nice example.

It looks like 1972 DDO die 3.

You know your good when you can pick the exact year and number of ddo from that pick... I'm just shaking my head Mannie, lol.

Coinscratch · March 12, 2020 11:18AM

As a coin roll junkie, you gotta love it when the rolls weigh in at 150.0 + grams and they're solid copper. Well, 40 or 50 boxes later I found myself at the right place at the right time Yesterday. And I've been to this bank a couple of times before and again this morning but, those times didn't matter so much. Some of these will be headed west very soon. Your only seeing a taste here, I actually went through 3 packs of Saflips and most with two coins each.

Then had a bonus roll but, they were not as good as most of the '81's
