Found in a roll of cents
In going thru a roll of cents today, I came across an off-center 2000 cent -
about 35% off! |

I check rolls and change for errors and varieties, and have yet to discover anything that obvious to the unaided eye. Except for a few pieces I got as a premium for joining CONECA or as childhood gifts from an uncle, everything I have always required a magnifier and/or a reference photo to catch. If that was a mixed roll and it's not AU, you have to wonder how a coin like that could have been in circulation for almost ten years without anyone noticing. If it's AU it may have been sitting in a roll or jar all this time |

Found in a roll of cents
This was the first significant error coin I've ever found searching rolls.
I was mainly looking for wheaties and was surprised (to say the least) to find it. "mazorj" wrote in message ... "Petronius" wrote in message ...

My best find was a BU quarter that had a rotated reverse--worth about $115.00 |

That's one of those errors that you really have to consciously focus on to catch, especially if the discrepancy is only slight. And was it a state quarter or "regular" issue? |

It was rotated more than 90 degrees. I wasn't looking for it, but the rotation was so obvious that I couldn't help noticing. I went and got two more cases hoping to find more, but no such luck. |

High or low leaf variety, or just a regular WI-D with an awesome rotated reverse? Jerry |
