I wouldn’t create a separate thread for a small find like this.

Instead, you could put it in another existing thread like perhaps the Coinstar thread or maybe even a better existing one.

Now, if the coin had a really obvious error like a double die or being way off center, that might deserve a separate posting, especially with a good quality photo.

Just my own two cents worth…

Thanks! Didn't know how many were legit errors that I see online. I do know mine has the low 7.

Wanted to share that I got home and found I already had this coin (apologies, mentioned that in the above posts already), but my youngest son didn't. He wanted to know if he could trade another coin for it. I said yep. :)

So my son comes back with a paper list of the S coins he has available for trade. He's 14.

I circle 2 coins on the paper that I need. He goes away. I put the '70-s in a plastic slide holder to get it ready for him. The next day, I get a coin from him, a '40-S. My other choice was a '54-s. I said that's great, thank you. He proceeds to tell me, "yeah after you circled the coins, I went and checked, and the '54-s is actually rarer, so, I'm giving you the '40-s..." :o

I give him the '70-s and he says "oh wow! can I keep the slider thing?" My wife and I both replied, "oh, that's an extra charge". :lol:
