It isn’t impossible to find these DDO 1917-P Lincoln pennies — they ARE out there, and I have a few whole rolls of 1917 that have not been searched — but then, how did they get into the “1917-P” stack???

I’ll explain.

I SORT without SEARCHING. The two words are technically very different — “sorting” is just that — you sort the coins by date and mint-mark, without looking closely to see any errors.

When you SEARCH, it’s a whole different ‘nother, as it were.

The action of “searching” means that you examine the coin closely, with magnifiers and maybe drag out the loupe to see details better.

You’d focus on the area that tells the story, such as the date on the 1917-P, where the doubling is very easily evident.

You can visit my eBay store — just ask in the morning chat how to get there, and a link will be posted. I won’t put one here.

See You At The Top!!!
