Finally hit the IHC jackpot.

[quote="Dick"]Kurt, it is more a thing of " The thrill of the hunt", rather than what I get after the hunt has ended. Like i have said, re gold prospecting, I still have every grain of gold that we found. It has no "sale value', to me. it was just a satisfaction of having found it. The same here in the IHC varieties. I have no inkling of the value of any of my varieties, and dion't really care. my interest is in finding them! I guess that is one of the reasons I will never be a rich man.
I mentioned there is a triple 3 in one of the unknowns. There is also a triple 7, that is known, but I need to have confirmation on it, because there is another digit involved, and it is very weakly seen on my coin, and "mentioned" as a "microscopic re-punching, but without the attow pointing at the area of concern. I don't have, or know about the '73 DDO, but I have the 1887 DDO. I was going to say I have the '88/'87, but that is not true, yet. Who knows what will show up in the next months ahead, because I will be getting the rest of the dates that are pending,(other than the 1877, and 1909-S. I still need the '58's, and '59's, The '64L-69, and the rest. I got most of the '70's recently. I will pick up another batch around the end of the month, and another in January. All from the same source. The later batches will have the '90's, so the timing is right for the new book from Rick. This set of batches, when finidhed, will give me about five, or six full sets, ( minus the '77, and the '09-S. then it will be a change of operation, to get higher grades for the ones I have. Time consuming,but it does keep me busy.Regards.
BTW, here is the triple 7:
