Are all new discovery worth getting examined by CONECA

#1 Unread post by Coinaddict411 »

I have this possible discovery of a variety on a 2021 D penny. It's being looked at by a lead contributor at coneca..its been a couple days and I have been told that he needs to have other attributes look at it to come to a consensus. My question is I'm wondering if there is ever a time when a minor variety is not worth the time or effort?

Almost ALL of them are not worth the time an effort unless you just want discovery on a coin you found.

Most won't bring in a pile of money, but, as you said, the coolness factor is something worth more than money t osome people.

One of the things that drives my habitual research (in many fields) is the thrill I get (for some reason) of finding something unknown or historically forgotten.

I'm waiting patiently to hear back. I'm sure it wont bring a premium as Its very minor if legit. But it would be a cool feeling if they said yep that's a ddr!
