Or am I seeing things?

Mabye lucky, maybe all the great stuff I learned from this forum and books, etc.,
and maybe I am a bit more likely to find things that 'seem out of place'... my old
rockhound abilities at work.

Yes, these coins were in one roll I recenlty purchased from someone on the 'four letter word site'.
What actually fascinates me about finding them is how they managed to stay together and wind up in order
in a roll of cents.

I do have a very large number of cents with anomalies, and I just keep finding them. Even with my new fancy camera I cannot get all of the anomalies photographed. It is evident that I will need a very serious dedicated macro lens to photograph them all.

I am glad you enjoy these. I will keep searching and searching and searching...
Hey, this is like treasure hunting from a front row seat here in my comfortable home.

Okay, just send me a private email message like before so I can get your address again.
Remember when you get it, they are not all exactly alike.

This particular cent does have three or so die cracks.
This isn't what I understand to be a die break error, which is probably the one from the rim, etc.
Of course, don't take my word for it, as I am a rather newcomer to this hobby... er, obsession.

Ah well


Does anyone know if it is legal to send a very limited number of coins to foreign countries?
Are any countries totally off limit for us to send to?

I know the cost is pretty darn steep to send overseas.
