Hello,
A few years ago I inherited a number of coins. Several appear to me to be error or die variety. It would be like my dad to collect the more unique coins, especially if he thought they'd be collectible some day. In the coins, one is a 1970S large date with possible doubling and to me, it looks very much like the one pictured in the book about pocket change errors but, I'm really new to this and identifying a mint error from a die variety isn't easy and takes practice. I'm hoping I can get some opinions about what I may have. It does bare a striking resemblance right down to the curved lines in the coin and the impression on the top left of the 9, which are both clear on the coin pictured in the book.
I'm sure the book brought in a new rush of people into the error coin society. I find this really interesting and have been having a lot of fun with it.
I understand that there is no true way to tell from a photo or series of photos but, I'm hoping I can get a general feeling so I know if it's worth sending off for analysis and grading.
Thank you very much. I hope one day to be a help to some of you.
OH, btw, I see more of the doubling with a loup or microscope than in the photographs but, my eye isn't trained. Let me know if the photos need to be retaken and I'll get right on it.
Again, thank you so much for your time and opinions. Even if it's not what I hope, this is a lot of fun, very educational and interesting.
