I found a 1983 double die reverse!!!!

[zmemarine]

I got $45 in customer rolled pennies and boy did they ever produce. I only found 2 wheaties out of the whole bunch(1918, 1951s), but the error and variety coins were aplenty. I first found a BU 2000 wide AM, then a 1972 double die obverse. This is my third of this variety. I thought ok i'm happy with just this and then a BU 1998 wide AM pops up and then another BU 2000 wide AM. Then I find a 1972 1 pfennig. Then in the second to the last roll out pops a 1983 double die reverse. I didn't even need a loupe to see it because it's so drastic. Just 2 weeks ago I found the 1995 double die obverse and now this. SWEEEEEEEEEET! Enjoy the pics.

Congrats on yor finds!

I am just getting into CRH and have been wondering what a double die reverse looked liked. Now I know, thanks to you. Could you please post a pic of one of your wide AM with a pic of a regular penny? I haven't found one and was wondering what exactly am I looking for. My first box of pennies should be in this week.

Great find on the 1983 double die reverse. My book, "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change", says its worth $55.00 in extra fine condition and $80.00 in about uncirculated condition. Good eye!

Great job! I found one myself last year. The redbook has it listed in MS-65 at $300.

Fantastic finds. I've been looking for those doubled dies and wide AMs for awhile with no luck. Maybe next box.
