I am baffled as to why there would not be. Most people do not check their change so it's not like good coins are being cherry picked. I get that there may be wear and tear on them but the thought of just buying coins to build up a collection takes a great deal of the excitement out of it. And buying bank rolls is no cost at all because you still have the exact value back. But, those guys are 50 plus years in so I have to respect their experience. Come now to think of it though, my mom worked at a credit union for years and has some nice coins she pulled out of rolls (they will be mine eventually anyway) so I do think there is something to it.

I appreciate the insight. It is still interesting enough to do some more research for me. I just thought there would be more treasures circulating. I def didn't think it was a way to accumulate wealth, I just assumed it was more of a treasure hunt type hobby where on any day you could stumble on something special. But I am not discouraged to the point of not doing more research into it. Thank you for the reply!!

No I stepped away for a while. I had an investigation that monopolized my time with recon and surveillance so I am literally just getting back to it now. Like today. So all of those mofo's just use that as click bait, "hunt for hidden treasures amongst the circulated and bank rolls." I am not going to lie that takes a big part of the excitement out of it for me. No offense intended for anyone involved but it just seems like another hobby for the well off, collections of "i've got money to throw around" pieces not much different than art. I thought it was a game of find cool stuff in the wild, even-ish playing field and now I am very disappointed. I will not be able to leisurely afford anything worth a when I get like 5 items for 20 bucks at the grocery store. I def appreciate your honesty. I mean this in a funny way, I am the kid who just got told there is no Santa Clause lol.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain things. You can't this knowledge from YouTube or bloggers who lure people in with clickbait titles. It is such a cool and way more extensive than one would think craft. I used to do everything I could to get rid of change now I find myself looking for reasons to buy things with cash. Would you say that bank rolls would be a good way to find some hidden treasures? I see that suggestion a lot with the click baiters.

Thank you for the thorough explanation!! I have indeed seen the big asking prices (I assumed they were scams based on the research I do) and I wondered if anyone ever bit on that stuff. It is sad people do that but buyers should also do their homework. There are so many caveats to all of this and I am slowly learning. I appreciate your reply!

Still trying to get picture taking down, I ordered a microscope with camera (I think) so that should help instead of this crappy phone app. I have seen errors on this Quarter like this but not to this extent. The condition does not look good but I know there are collectors with different taste. Of course I am a total noob so what do I know? Is this a legit error? It says God We Rust instead of In God We Trust which is kind of funny. Also, the P is filled in. If an error and a market how do I go about prepping it (clean it?) and marketing it? Please forgive my idiocy I am trying to learn.

I am going to continue trying until I do. There are so many variables to all of this which makes it more interesting. I am just enjoying being a sponge. I used to despise change and get rid of it at the first opportunity. Now it is a treasure hunt.

First off, I know the pics suck and I have a request for suggestions on another post, I am very well aware. The In God We Trust and date, are there any indicators of DDO? Is that the right thing to call it? Is this worth getting graded? I saw some others with the T and Y in :Liberty messed up like that is it an error or just worn down?

Sandon, I had no idea people went to those lengths to alter them but I could see that being a scenario as it is almost too pretty to have gotten with change from a store. It def has a rose gold or pink look at some angles and orange in others. I am going to try more to capture what I am seeing. Thank ya'll for being so helpful . If nothing else the feedback will help me grow as I am pretty much brand new to all of this. Am I missing something to be able to directly reply to members posts? I feel like I am.

Just saw your tips PowerMad, thank you!! I will certainly try those. I am frustrated because I want to capture what I am seeing since it is pretty unique from what I have seen in my short time collecting and it just has not worked so far. I am sure ya'll have seen it all so I really wanted some perspective. I will keep trying until I get something. It took me forever just to post as I did not want to waste anyone's time and here I am lol. Also, my Asperger's OCD weirdness is beating me down over it.

My phone died so I will return with more pics soon/. This is way frustrating as it has a cool tint in some angles as orange-ish but in others it is pink copper or almost rose gold. I am convinced it is a trick coin and I am being punked.

Wow, sorry, those are way worse than they appeared on my phone.

Ok I have some practicing to do, the color is so unique it is difficult to capture. Almost an orange-ish shine to it. Maybe these will help and maybe not. I am going to work on it more.

Thank you for the tips CoinBuff I am going to try that now.

I tried a couple more further away, doubt it helps much, photo taking tips would be awesome.
