Haven't found much silver lately so I've really been looking at the 74D close.

Like the tittle says I've been pretty much skunked lately so I set all the 74'd aside to look at with my new loupe. I have decent eyesight (not over the hill yet but I can see the top of it from here) :-) But had given up on seeing it with a 8x glass. Anyhow I took this close shot with a lower end sony 5.1 mega pixel and my 16x loupe.

After someone else posted they done it I thought I'd try in disbelief.

Thats cool. I couldn't beleive it either until I tried it. I have found ten of these. I plan on selling them as a roll when I hit 20. Hope I get a good return on them.

My count on them now is 121 (I have an advantage in that I have been looking for them for several years now), and that is not counting about 5 or 6 coins I have put back in circulation due to them spending too much time in Vegas (very beat up). I have thought about putting some on ebay also, and probably will, but right now just still accumulating.

Great find. Still looking for my first.

Same here. After several thousand bucks worth of halves, I still have yet to find one. And I check all my 1974-Ds.

1974-D's aren't the only ones you should be looking for. Here is a photo of a 1971-D. There are also double dies on other years(72,73,77,84) but these aren't as common and the seperation may be less making them harder to spot especially on circulated coins.
