@Hoghead515 your truck looks just about like mine! I have done the exact same thing on many occasions my friend.  Especially on a long road trip in the wife's car when I have the whole backseat to myself.  I just "go into my own little world" and the next thing I know..... we are at our destination.

I been searching all week. Been trading in rolls for more rolls. No luck this week so far. Did fill a few spots in my Whitmans. Rough trying to do it in a truck. 

I'M LOVING IT!!!!!!!! Especially what's tucked under the seat.......

You still looking for this one?

Hello tj.  You asked if J P was still looking for the v75 Billings.....  I'm in the same boat looking for the 5th one but I'm lacking the Samoa Privy..... I'm like J P, it'll show up some day, and most likely when you are least expecting it.

I'll go through them and see if I can help fill gaps for anyone.

Very generous Mr. Stein!

It was in a roll of 49 cents.

That's a good one J P!! Pretty witty I have to say.  Speaking of "spacers", I can't believe how many perfectly Cent sized flat galvanized washers I continually find in bank wrapped rolls.  I'm not talking about the brown bag Walmart sleeves.  I'm talking about the tightly wrapped (no re-wraps involved here) Loomis rolled Lincolns.  Very odd these things wind up in a roll.  I told one of my bank teller about this and she said that it was not possible.  Well....... she's wrong.

Hey @Mr.Bill347  I just stumbled on your thread.  Just wanted to also add that your pictures are really good especially if you are taking them with a phone!  I'm still struggling with my newer phone in taking good clear pics like you have posted.  If you have time, could you PM me and tell me exactly what settings, and type of phone if that's what you are in fact using, to get this quality of pics.  Thanks Bill!

Yes Mike, thank you. I have been trying to improve my coin photos.

Hello Brad and welcome to the forum (can't help but to like the name...). I agree with the other comments above, just a damaged Lincoln.  Here's a picture of a die cap and a website link to numerous types of die caps.  There's also lots of good info on error-ref.com concerning just about any type of Mint made error out there.  Good luck.

Brutal abuse. Whatever tool was used to do that to that Walker should be used on the nuts of whoever did it. (I assume nuts because as a general rule women are not nearly as stupidly destructive.)

Damaged way before the Dremel was invented I would assume.  Probably an Exacto razor which would more likely fit the time frame. I couldn't imagine an Exacto being used as you mentioned JKK......🥴 (or a Dremel for that matter.....🤮)

I'm not too young anymore,

Mohawk...... I'm old enough to be your father (and @VKurtB your grandfather... OH MY... I am typing out loud again... my apologies) So, YES..... you are still a youngin!!!!

I try to keep my folders free of nasty coins, which tend to wear them out...

I could only imagine how many "folders or albums" you have acquired over the years due to your passion for them...... Probably mind boggling......

I am always suspicious of lighting and reflection artifacts on proofs when I’m not holding the coin. 

Thank you for your response VKurt....... I was getting concerned about you.... Seriously.... I was!!!!   I will have to jump on the wagon here as I did when this post was current, I believe the op's coin is 100% a DDO.  Yes, proofs are hard to photograph, but the pics supplied were very good and very easy to see the splits/notches IMHO.  

Hello @Jas17931. I agree with all of the above comments.  You can also see Machine Doubling (MD) on the upper lip, nose, and the forehead of Washington' profile from your pics.  The raised metal at the base of George's neck (right side of lower neck) are the designer's initials which are completely normal, they are supposed to be there.  There is noticeable MD on the word DOLLAR, just below the designer's initial's, and most likely this is what has happened to the designer's initials as well creating a "spread" of sorts but this would not considered true hub doubling..... Basically just a case of machine doubling and maybe a bit of die deterioration doubling but nothing else.  No premium on this one, sorry. And.... welcome to the forum!!!!

Thank God! I thought they errored on a Baconater!

Heart attack in a sack....... 

That is a very nice off-center strike.  As said earlier, seeing the date is a bonus on one of these.  One thing that caught my attention was the designer's initials on the reverse, FG.  In my opinion, they look to me to be relatively close to the Memorial which would signal one thing. I had to turn my computer upside down to see this though...haha.  However, we will never know....... I do remember seeing a very nice 1999 struck off-center in the past that was a WAM. Very nice find in the wild @Lisae228!!!

@Mohawk, I can't read either language so I'm not sure which one it is. I only speak North Georgia. I will pm you a pic of it in just a few minutes.  Thanks.

I've given some thought to picking up some from other countries, too.  Specifically Japan

First of all, nice pick-ups J P!  Ima tellin ya...... you got the golden touch for finding deals and I can't imagine where you live that you have such a plentitude of shops to pick from!! Or even flea markets if that's the case.  I felt like I hit the lotto when I found three Whitman albums full of Wheats and those numerous board holders full of foreign stuff.  

Not hijacking your thread here J P... @Mohawk, do you know anything about Japanese or maybe Chinese coins?

And now, your name will officially be recorded for posterity as the discoverer of this variety. Pretty cool. 

Thank you Just Bob.  I really appreciate you taking the time to make that comment.  I know it's just a very minor one, and there's a lot of them for this year, but I'm still pretty excited about it. Even though my final tally considering the cost of attribution, and now sending it to ANACS for slabbing ($$$$$), will "maybe" be what it's worth.  No idea about the value of this one (but then again, I really don't care.. cause I ain't selling it.....!! ) Thanks again!

I hear you, Greg.  I completely screwed up Hog's GTG with the Washington Quarter!! I wasn't even close!!!

I wasn't sure to Like...Thanks.... or Laugh at this post.....  So, I will give you all three! 

I will chose not to comment on this potential RPM.  The reason; I am batting 0 for 5 on Jefferson RPM's.....😞 I don't even think I could get onto a little league baseball team these days........

Now, I have a question for the OP, if he comes back: what was the purpose of putting all of those tags at the top of the page?

Surely..... oh my.....please, no...... surely not...... this ain't 'him' is it????

Why should the mintmark stand in the way....after all, all dies have "first stricken" coins....

Very true.  However, be very careful here Roger...... our buddy ol' SlickLoins may be lurking and see this post and start ranting, Ha! Obviously, I was kidding about a 64 SMS (but.. who knows....🤔 hmmmmm....., maybe they do exist but we just don't have scientific 'proof' they do.... hence my Avatar).  After I made my last post/comment above, I thought to myself, "Greg..... what in the -_-_are you thinking mentioning anything about a 1964 SMS....?"  I DO NOT want to open up a can of worms here..... 

On 1/10/2022 at 2:22 PM, RWB said:

It's almost "Full Steps" too

I know, right... it was ever so close! In addition, it really wasn't far from being a SMS.  If only it wasn't for that dang D mint mark........

On 1/10/2022 at 10:44 AM, DWLange said:

I don't believe that's an RPM. It appears to be strike doubling, aka mechanical or machine doubling.

ARGH...... And the search goes on!  Thank you DWLange.  I appreciate you looking at my coin.
