So I went through all of my weekend rolls; not much luck - a couple of 40%'s out of 6 boxes of halves. Didn't have anything to search through tonight, so I decided to crack open one of those uncirculated cent rolls I bought last month. Broke out my felt pad, white gloves, the whole nine yards and started going through a roll of 1960-D large dates looking for a double die obverse. Didn't find any, but noticed something odd about LIBERTY. The bottom of the R in some of them was filled. My guess is that it's from a die chip, maybe worth a buck or two? However, literally half of the cents had it; I found about 26 of them.
I also noticed on just a few what looked like a die crack on Lincoln's forehead. On some it was a raised line across his brow, and on others it was a raised line with a blob or two across his forehead going into his hair. I took what photos I could - it's freaking HARD getting extreme closeups under magnification!
Do the die chips/die cracks carry much of a premium? Considering I have a couple dozen in uncirculated red condition, is it worth trying to sell a few as a batch? Any advice would be appreciated.
