Last roll luck

I have received about $20 in pennies from a family memeber that have been rolled in late 1980s, early 1990s. The latest date I found was 1992. I managed to put several BU coins and set all copper pennies aside for copper penny box. DId not find anything cool until last roll when my luck changed - very happy with this one :)

    That is a sweet find. Good job on identifying it. You might also check for 1988 RDV6.

    edit: You might want a more specific title to get better replies.

    Amazing find. The odds of finding something major like this in just twenty rolls of cents are very slim. Ive probably searched over a hundred thousand rolls in my lifetime without ever finding the 1984 ddo.

    That's a great find. I found one back during COVID. Our host ended up grading it MS65RB. I was not roll hunting. I typically throw my one cent coins into a bucket, and the rest into another bucket. One day, I decided to start looking at the one cent coins and a couple of days into it, I found that coin. I stopped looking at them shortly thereafter figuring I would not find anything else.

    For an 84 that's in decent shape
