[@shaffty1958]

I just spent two days looking through all the coins I had. I have a bunch of. 1960, 61,62,64,70,72,75, 77, and 80's. Hell thought i saw 50 something.

[@cowboy19721]

Hey Shawn I just started following you about 6 months ago when I started my coin collection Hobbie I love looking for errors on coins my family and friends knows that no change goes through my pockets without being checked I've learned a lot from you thank you for your time and expertise and teaching me a lot about coin collection

[@PWRFLROE]

Interesting Shaun, I’m really happy that you’re starting to put money in as potential grading choices and whether necessary but as a reference point. Thank you

[@mattdclxr6265]

Bro i got the same coin can i sell it if u have any idea plz help me

[@williamlederman7498]

I belive i have 1988 penny I don't know how to send you a picture

[@jackvetra2844]

So I found a 1988 p Lincoln Memorial Cent and on the obverse you see E Pluribus Unum and element's of the memorial. On the reverse you can see Lincoln's coat. From what I've found so far it's called a roll over, double struck with the second strike, slightly off center. I have learned more from your videos than from all the others combined. You're a great teacher thanks Shawn and keep the video's coming.

[@JinxdOne]

I have a flipped in collar double strike it's been on eBay for 2 months not a single bid one of the rarest of the doubles and I don't think people even realize what it is I'm fixing to send it off to PCGS because you can see Lincoln's profile doubled over the memorial on the back that's not normal but you know all those coins are ultra rare with the l on the rim it actually gives me heartburn to seeing all these dumb people so tangent aside I recommend you send it off and get it graded because in all honesty unless one of the coin companies says it I don't think they value our opinions but I wish you the best of luck and if you think about it let me know how it goes

[@dameionclocksin9175]

Oh and another question I tried figuring out how to send my coins in for grading but I don’t know how much it cost and maybe you could do a video on it to try to show people how hard it is or how easy it is thank you very much

[@jamiewheeler6236]

Please make more videos like this. As a newbie this REALLY helps me figure out some starting places for my hunting. There’s sooo much..it’s like where to even start lol

[@gilbertojimenez2453]

I have it

[@JinxdOne]

My recommendation is to get a notebook just shut down you know your key date tweets and buffaloes and Mercury dimes and make list something to reference easily so when you have them in front of you you just flip to this page I just find computer slightly annoying sometimes and I like pen and paper but make sure you keep it organized I have not done that and need to go back and rewrite my notebook but now I can look at just about any coin until you with the varieties should be and what the errors should be so it's kind of like homework write it down you learn it good luck and welcome to one of the most frustrating hobbies I've ever encountered it's fun to lose your mind while staring at coins till you go cross-eyed and fall asleep with an eye loop stuck to your eye and coin stuck to your forehead

[@danielhowe5871]

I have a 1988 D DDO -double ear variety on a transitional reverse. It also has a circular die mark that cuts through the second 8, the D and follows around dissecting the B E in Liberty. Coin is in spectacular condition a high gloss Red.

[@jrjt21]

New to coin collecting and becoming obsessed! Thats what the pandemic did. lol I don't know why but I have a really hard time telling if something is doubled dyed. A lot of times it looks like a shadow or glare even with the usb magnifier. i have the 1988 P and D penny but can't tell if the ear is double dye. With the magnifier when I take a photo there is so much glare. Is there a trick I should know about? Out of all the youtubers I listen to I enjoy yours channel the most.

[@deonaeddy7749]

Tilt the coin and look in all directions. Don't have your light too bright, and don't go much higher than a x10 magnifier or it'll get distorted

[@lucybean4280]

I have this coin as well except the transitional error is on Lincoln it is a beautiful beautiful coin

[@mogra209]

[@alfogel3298]

Hello Shawn. Well, I have found a 1988 with thick smudging around its borders on the front along with the super rare double earlobe. And on the back “ in god we trust” a distinct doubling on the “U.” Another attribute it came with Lincoln perfectly centered. I’m only 2 months into the trade and I am already totally addicted. Worse than heroin ( just an example ...I’ve never taken any drugs, not even marijuana. Looking to sell. All love from Miami Beach , Florida, Al

[@DeborahAnnSiefer]

I found in my pocket change a 1988 double die Lincoln wheat Lincoln penny it’s a double die on the date. The date has no mint mark but there is a mark between the date of the 1 and they 9 but I’m not sure what it is exactly. It has the double ear. I can’t see with enlarging it; can you tell me what it’s worth or where I can contact you at perhaps.I could get it graded and then sell it. Thank you Debby

[@luisbautista2707]

Ok cool, thx BiG Guy👍

[@paulpantig8742]

Good evening sir ., I’m new here and may I ask where to sell the coins if I have one?

[@travelinjohn2163]

Interesting questions on Nichols is it fog or dark they look like a to me? Does no FG bring much value? And lastly what year did they change the d mint mark to the obverse?

[@shanedaniel7]

"No FG" worth a few dollars unless it's the hyped 1969-D. Not sure what you mean on the last question

[@michaelandrews8944]

Shaun..my 88s are phills barely struck.. the date that is. Are they still worth anything

[@vinhennessy3885]

Hey Shaun, have noticed on some 1988D’s, the letter D leans towards the right?

[@tw4259]

i have an 88D penny, the mint mark is a lot lower than what I'm used to seeing - anything special about that ?

[@gloriafredsall2859]

Love you guys your the best and only ones that have text me back glad you are on here and please keep up the great work you are doing I will be asking for help with my coins

[@timson3489]

Umm... Is it just me or were your "normal reverse" actually just the same as your transitional and either was not the normal 88... Thanks for letting me know about that DDE, I'm always forgetting about those kinds of varieties when CRHing...

Aye i got a triple D and 8. On the back side there's a raised dot above the top of the N and then another in the v of the N with mirrored raised dots above the T and in line with the top line of the left side of the T. Any clue or thought about it?

Great video Shaun wish I could find some of these 1988 but still only finding Machine doubling so far with my box searching I have gone through 55 $25 boxs and not one Double Die yet still hoping though

[@JesusRamos-wm7hg]

Change to quarters, easier to read and handling

[@shelaneyleppell1654]

True but not as many error or varieties as Lincoln Cents. And cost to much $25 for pennies and $500 for quarters I'm not rich lol

Thanks BlueRidge for another quality video 💥💥💥💥

[@melodybruce3032]

New collector here. much enjoying your very helpful videos. Question: is the '89 1c more valuable w the old "FG" style? Hope i'm not confusing genre here. Ps : us newbies wd love to see a list of worthless quarters so we can do laundry b4 we figure it all out 😉

[@frankcantu1509]

I have a 1987 d penny no fg initial what it's worth also double on pillars

[@GreenGateTV]

1cent

[@jonbishop9062]

On the picture where you’re showing the second part of the ear with the three arrows at 949 there appears to be a face/head immediately to the right of the ear in the middle of Lincoln’s Head. A little below the head there appears to be a neck also. Any thoughts? There also appears to be a much smaller head and face on the face as you look at it in the above the eye on the left as you look at it. A three headed Lincoln would be pretty rare.

[@gregcushing1716]

I see it kinda looks like cartoonish Obama?

[@jonbishop9062]

Greg Cushing more of a thin cartoonish political Caucasian face from the depression era. In that face there is a smaller head that looks like it’s in black and white of a young Caucasian person above the right eye of cartoonish man and Lincoln’s top part of ear. Almost on cartoonish mans right upper eyebrow right by the combed looking hairline. The smaller face appears to have a thick block cut walrus mustache. When it is zoomed in it can be seen. Is this your coin?

[@KolossalKlam]

Hey Sean. A big thanks for all you do for the coin community. Good job on the channel. Love it. Been watching for about 2 years now I think. Just got done with the video about the 1988 Lincoln cents with the 1989 reverse. My question, is there a variety of the 1989 Lincoln cent with the reverse of the 1988?
