  1. Following up on above, I hope to get some of my clearer newly discovered varieties added to the reference officially in the coming months so people will easily be able to check their coin against it with high res images. Stay tuned!

  4. I agree, it's easy to get bogged down with small irregularities and not call everything an error, I'm personally guilty of this but this is why I've not released any of my finds to my reference until I've found a better way to categorise them. Clear overstrikes and errors only for now.
  5. Good to see that this thread is doing well with some keen interest! Needless to say I have 95% of small errors and true varieties being shared here, all will be public on my reference when I have time to image everything properly, though anyone who thinks they've something quite special please email me so I can check my records and make sure I have it. It will be much better to be a community effort as I'm sure I do not have everything out there.
  6. Yes of course! They do exist in quite significant amounts in lowers grades, it's the MS coins you want to find! This series IMHO is underrated for its variety but at the same time I personally find these coins difficult to grade because of the detail, and graders have no idea what they are looking at either so pop reports are a total mess. DISH has taken large steps in making future grades easier, and I feel PCGS are following it well, NGC as always are clueless as ever and put on their labels whatever the user requests, which is extremely lazy and helps nobody.
  7. Hey, this was in my very early days of collecting jubs, I know an awful lot more know mainly thanks to David Iversons research along with Steve Hills publication. What specifically were you interested in knowing? I'm yet to fully publish everything in my reference but it won't be long now.
  8. This thread has been created for anyone with a Sovereign overdate, variation or error etc who would like to ask questions or have them checked out by other forum members. If you are asking for advice on errors please refrain from posting blurry mobile phone pictures! Ideally attached pictures should be taken with a macro lens, or some kind of handheld microscope that will clearly show the part of coin in question as you can see it, this saves a lot of guess work. Thanks and happy hunting!
