Hey everyone ! There's one thing I want to talk about that I haven't heard anyone mention before and that's looking over every coin you find, whether it's a Colonial or a coin from the 1800's and 1900's with a good Loop.
In the past few months, since I haven't been out Detecting, I decided to take a closer look at my coin collection and what I found was amazing !! On three of my Silver Quarters ( 1963D's), I found they were actually Re-punched Mintmark Errors. There in Mint State and according to my CherryPicker's Guide Book and Ebay, their worth as much as 3 times their normal value. So, instead of being $15 coins there worth up to $45.
I also found several Die Cracks as well. Die Cracks are more common than RPM's but they do increase the value.
Another great Error I found was on a 1936 Wheatie is a Hub Break on the letter R in liberty. I found out this is a common error, so check any that you might have as well as the Quarters. I also found Hub Breaks on a 1868 Shield Nickel I had and that year is also known for this kind of error. Here are some of the coins. Can you spot the Errors ?
