Finding some neat errors in the wheats i bought,
gonna be looking for a long time!
Happy hunting
The magnification on the wheaties was taken with a usb microscope made by Digital blue,look them up on ebay.
there a kids microscope,but they work great for coins,i gave about thirty five dollars for it.i have a QX3,and i got a QX5 used for forty dollars,they magnify at 10X,60X,and 200X.sixty is all you need!
you hook them to usb and view the coins right on your computer screen,it lets you take a picture,then go back a screen and export it to a folder of your choice.

best of luck and Happy Hunting.

You have some good eyes :icon_sunny: Like that double strike D. I bet I have some error coins and don't even know it ::) You said you bought 11,000 wheat's ??? I thought about buying one of those big lot buys but sceptical about the sellers
 
The first coin is a RPM#1. This one is worth a few dollars. Very popular among variety collectors. Do a search on ebay for it and you will probably see a few and get a better idea of value.

The second coin 1940-D is possibly a RPM#5 or strike doubling. hard to tell.

The third coin 1953-D had 21 different RPM's. Not sure on this one :icon_scratch:

The fourth is just what you called it, a filled die.

Nice coins! VPR
 
i have been looking into getting a micro scope myself just for that reason..... good luck with the rest of your searches...
 
I didn't know that so thanks LabradorBob.
Now I got to look at all my wheaties.
 
Thats rather interesting, mostly I just look at my 1955's, that rather cool.

Goodlluck,
HH.
 
Wow, nice photos! Nice finds, too! :icon_sunny:
