1955S 12 rolls Link to photo Album

[creilly]

Here is the link to the Album. I want to start off by saying the following. For Best veiwing change the interval rate to 6 or more... other wise it goes to fast and dont forget there is a pause button. There are some really cool things in them even if the pictures are not the best Sorry about that.
I only took 1 photo of a coin as I was looking at them. You will see the same varitey or error repeated over and over again on different coins, then I got tired of that and only took pictures of things I had not seen before.
There was SO much loose copper I got 3 slivers of copper, 2 in my fingers and 1 in my chin from rubbing my face. I had to take off the gloves because the coins were catching on them.
PLEASE tell me what you think. Almost EVERY coin has some sort of either Double Die/strike/machine doubling. Some on front some on reverse. I got a good picture of a T on the rev. that was doubled in some way. I still have 4 rolls to go!!! Not 1 coin yet was free of CUD on the rev.
Enjoy.....

I think you got a lot of learning from those rolls.

Notice how when you get looking you notice almost every coin has some minor error, die chip or mechanical doubling or die crack in the head or wheat stalk. This is why when you read the comments here we often sort of growl when people try to sell off these minor things with silly names on ebay. I'm talking about calling every die crack a speared tree, crack in tree, speared buffalo, head cracked, fly on buffalo, gnat in tree yada yada yada

If you kept error minor error you see you would save everything and it's endless. That's why at some point you probably toss the minor stuff back in the rolls.

The other stuff like listed RPMs like your 1MM-010 or DDOs you'll find are more sellable or tradeable and longer term collectable. Realy nice more major errors can be neat too but you'll find a ton of minor ones for each major one.

Another thing is often you might find you missed stuff even after a good search. There might be another RPM or a tripple eylid still hiding in your rolls so after you get to see examples of those you might look again.

Yes lots of learning.
Here is something. I am seperating the coins into piles of RPM and other issues or varities.... I am noticing one a few actual varities.. 15 actually. Every coin has cud or peeling copper. Almost like they are disinergrading or something. Anyway, I found a pattern to the over strikes. Its really strange... I thought of this last night and I am going to lay them out and put them in order of progression and put them in a slide show.. you will be able to watch the over struck material move across the penny. Having 1 over struck penny is nothing but having them so you can watch the crude move .. now thats something neat.


But yes.. I am learning so much and can now spot stuff fast...
like with RPM's.. thats a 10 thats a 09 thats a 06 fast... you know.
