Normally not good form, but you have to take into account the "body of work" on here from certain folks.

I see evidence of split serif in upper left tip of first T and tip of the R, but it's hard to tell. FS-101 seems pretty obvious and it doesn't look like yours is it. Variety Vista lists an SDO-001 but I don't know what "SDO" stands for. Don't be afraid to take them out of 2x2 for better images. I gently pry up the staple ends with the tip of a pocket knife and extract the staples. Others might use a staple remover but they tear up the 2x2 and I typically reuse the original. Of course you have to be very careful using a knife around coins! Wear gloves, don't get fingerprints on the coins or sneeze/blow on them, etc.

Might get "Details - Scratched" but they are usually lenient with chairs of this era.

I grade the chair VF20.

I pictured you much taller.

Not only are there "no other known Roosevelt dimes in the world that has this unique finish", there are no other known collectors in the world who believe that it is. It's a party of one.

I'm not sure if I would bet on that. I suppose the ethical dilemma is whether you just sell them as genuine and let the buyer deal with the guarantee. The problem I guess is that they could sit in someone's collection for decades after that and they would never know. Care to give any details about what type these coins are and how many "several" means? If they've graded thousands of them, could be something they put the newbie on. My first ever submission will probably be similar. After looking at images of every example I can find, I've convinced myself that they mistook die polish for hairlines (my profile pic is the coin). If it still came back cleaned, I'd be fine with it. They do make mistakes, particularly (in my view) around "cleaning". There's a story on CCF about a Canadian cent graded by a Canadian TPG (1881 maybe?), with the wrong date on the holder, unknown obverse type for the real year, XRF gave the correct composition, sent to US TPG, came back counterfeit, resubmitted to Canadian TPG, came back holdered as genuine again. This stuff happens. The fake was incredibly good. What gave it away to people on that forum was microscopic lines from laser etching of the dies. Aside from the unknown die pair, of course.

There's a (supposedly) Strickland 1795 dollar in there too, not sure if that's considered "elite". The auction description calls it "partially prooflike", which made me chuckle a little, given past discussions on here. Simpson has owned it for less than five years (Pogue, 09/2015, $705,000). I'm cashing in all my assets for a down payment on the 1894-S.

Consider this. Every working die produced prior to about 1996 was a "doubled die". The dies were pressed against the hub more than once, until single-squeeze hubbing was implemented. With fresh dies and a good strike, or a proof strike in this case, you can always find stuff with a microscope. To me you have to see clear separation under low mag or even with naked eye before it's interesting, and some of the stuff on Wexler's... I think, really? That's a "doubled die" worthy of a listing? All I see is a fat letter. I can understand JKK's reaction, because you loudly and definitively proclaim that you "finally found one", and people go, huh? Where? (I mean, you do know what some of these obvious DD's look like, right?) I don't want to say that yours is not a DDO, because like I said, they all are. I see a couple minute indications of actual "doubling", but it could be MD, and didn't they strike proofs twice? While it's cool to think you've discovered something, I'd focus on stuff that's already listed. Millions of people have looked at Lincolns for decades, so to think that you've found something new that somebody else will consider "valuable" is a real long shot when it's this invisible.

My point was to illustrate a handful of examples. There are varieties all over Canadian coinage and people do collect them. Their dollar collections are not complete without at least both the 1947 pointed and blunt 7. 1926 5c near and far 6. Etc etc. Price differences across the board indicate desire for nearly all varieties. I was merely countering your assertion that "There is no never going to be any significant variety or error collecting of world coinage" but I don't want to argue about it.

I must be old. I wish people would treat requests for help like they were writing for publication instead of texting their friends. In other words, read what you wrote, evaluate whether someone else can understand it, correct mistakes, punctuate, then post. There aren't any 1958 Flying Eagle cents. The only 1858 Indian Head cents are rare pattern coins. 1858 is not the "last year" of Indian Head cents. Nobody can tell anything from the picture unless they save it, rotate it, zoom in, and then discover that they can't read the date on the IHC. It's all just too much work.

There are 575 total here in the NGC pop report for 9 Canadian 1947 $1 varieties alone. Arnprior, short waterlines, large beads, small beads, shoulder fold or none - hundreds more. In Thailand, an alley along the Grand Palace area used to be lined with coin vendors (because the national coin museum was there). Whenever a commemorative bill came out (60th anniversary on the throne 60 baht bills, etc), people snapped them up by the millions. On my last trip over there last summer, I took note of how many little shops devoted to stuff unrelated to coins had a small sample of coins or bills for sale in a case. "Popular" is how you want to define it, I guess, and depends on your personal experience and niche.

There are a lot of varieties in Canadian coins and many people collect them. My profile pic for example is a famous one. Some Canadian collectors focus on 1859 large cent varieties, there must be 100 of them, just like US collectors go after VAMs. Back sections of the Charlton guides list varieties for different series across various editions. I would imagine collectors within specific countries are familiar with varieties that US collectors aren't.

Looks like something spat out after scrapping a car or appliance, bound for the mutilated coin redemption program. Consider that if any of these were a valuable "error", you could make as many as you want.

"What a maroon!" - Bugs Bunny. Every time i see this thread, that pops into my head.

I'm happy to hear that.

I looked through some on Heritage (I'm sooo bored) and there are a few with a small number of raised dots (https://coins.ha.com/itm/france/world-coins/france-napoleon-5-francs-1810-a-ms61-ngc-/a/3035-30494.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 field around the last N for example) but not to this extent. I'd ask for more pictures.

Actually, aren't there two of them? Perhaps you meant "by people posting them on forums". https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/ngc-confirms-second-bronze-1982-d-small-date-cent.html

The images are also missing the giant blob of whatever it is going through the E in ONE.

I'm no expert and nothing but a searcher of stuff online, but a 25% off-center in MS64 Red sold on Heritage last September for $75. Beware of getting scammed. 10x for a coin in a lesser grade with a smaller offset sounds really fishy.

Your pictures are better. #1 gets 8,729 points for their 1935-D in MS67, and you get 2,464 for your 1935-S in 65. Over 6000 points different for 2 grade points, hurts my brain. I can see why I don't have any desire to play in this sport.

It's always entertaining when someone comes on here wearing the "I struck it rich" goggles. No one will ever pry the goggles off, so they get told numerous times to send it in for authentication, and not once have I ever seen them follow that advice or post results.
