      The bag we got came up pretty much empty. Nothing worth a premium in it that we have heard about yet.

          Did you buy a bag of 72Ps?

              To be expected given the mintage, I suppose...but I am a bit of a gambler...

              When (if) I open mine, I will post up exactly what I find.

                The bag has arrived...

                It has a strong odor of DDO coming from it.

                      I have not gone through my share of unsearched rolls from the bag, but the search by Bob did not reveal any significant varieties or errors.

                        I haven't opened it.

                        I want to "get a lot better" at identifying the DDOs before I open the bag.

                        I'm still looking for ways to get a big image of the coins to look at. I don't like squinting through loupes, and the microscope I ordered turned out to be terrible.

                        It is in kind of a state of limbo until I find a better way...

                          Do we have two threads intertwined here?

                            Yes...


                            2 different "groups" each independently bought one of these bags from the same seller.

                            The "earlier" group has looked at some of the coins.

                            I, the only member of the "later" group, have not...yet. I need to get smarter first.

                              The '72 ddo's are all pretty significant. Go through the coppercoins' images, buy yourself an amscope, and let's get this show in the road. The suspense is killing me!

                                There's nothing wrong with going throug it more than once. Go through it, do not discard any of it, and go throught it again and again until you are satisfied that you have done all you could. The major DD's are pretty obvious.
