Minted Money Errors
This Hobby Changed How I Handle Money
Collecting & Selling U.S. Minted Money Errors
U.S. minted money errors and varieties exist. For instance, I had a job I loved that meant a lot of cash and change flowed through my fingers. Furthermore, after I read a news story about minted money errors and another about a penny that sold for more than $20,000.00 at a coin auction, I was intrigued, and decided to embark on the exciting endeavor of hunting for minted oney errors.

1969 D Penny Error: Floating Roof & Missing Designer Initials.

First, some of the unique coins I’ve kept, while others I examine and write about via markedmoney.tech, and then list on auction sites like Ebay for coin collectors to purchase or bid on.
The Benefits of Searching & Coin Collecting are Numerous
For instance, not only has this hobby for natural born detectives changed how I handle money, by influencing me to observe before spending, there’s a lucrative market that exists for sellers too! For instance, selling variety and error coins is one way to make money from home.
In other words, various collectors seek to add to the uniqueness and value of their own personal coin collections. Looking for variety coins and cash errors is like finding prizes in your pocket worth more than as appears. Furthermore, people really can get rich with pocket change!
Observe Coin Errors & Varieties Found and Documented via MarkedMoney.tech

For instance, a rare U.S. 1965 Doubled Die Obverse Washington Quarter Dollar in high mint state grade provided the finder with a generous $4,700.00 finder’s fee!

Check out more doubled die variety 1965 quarters available! I didn’t know anything about this 1965 quarter dollar coin until I found the one in the image above in my change after work one evening. I’ve linked the information I found when I sought out about it.
First, I armed myself with a bright light and magnifying glass to see if it had such errors on it. Sure enough I thought I had a winner! Practice makes the master so I aim to get better with time.
Hunting for Doubled Die Reverse Variety Coins

Furthermore, I eventually learned the 1965 quarter I found was actually known as “strike doubling” or “machine doubling” and not a genuine doubled die. However, it’s still a neat find, and people do buy them from Ebay.

Additionally, I purchased a USB Coin Microscope, which lets me see clearly without straining my eyes, and double check for coin errors. Finally, I’ve found several doubled die varieties using a great microscope! Please subscribe, and like the recordings of my coin examinations. Thank you!
Additionally, observe a unique U.S. minted money error quarter I found when I first began searching for W quarters. In other words, it’s a 2020 “W” or West Point minted Weir Farm Connecticut Quarter Dollar with a reverse die crack. I learned about these rare collectible coins from the memo about the Great American Coin Hunt.

The Downtown Diner
The Downtown Diner
The Downtown Diner is a nostalgic restaurant located in downtown Granite City Illinois. Moreover, this place has an excellent location just down the road and near a local movie theater.
Furthermore, specific food items on the menu are familiar to citizens like me who attended Granite City School District 9. I personally acquired a taste for and looked forward to the square pizza when I was a kid. Moreover, I had no shame dipping it in ketchup. I like my fries with ketchup too.
Encouraging Creative Marketing Strategies
The Downtown Diner used a common social media marketing strategy to boost awareness of and engagement with their business, and at little cost to them. For instance, what they did was make a post offering citizens an opportunity to win a strawberry shortcake dessert just by liking and sharing their post. As an already experienced customer I was delighted to engage in their marketing strategy! The dessert was free, but I went as a paying customer.
I Liked And Shared This Post For A Chance To Win This Delicious Dessert.

Corvette: The Factory of Dreams
The Factory of Dreams is an Excellent Gift For Classic Car & Convertible Corvette Enthusiasts
Collectible Corvette book. For a number of years, the St. Louis Corvette factory defined a way of life for thousands of St. Louis area workers, including Granite City business owner, Mike Dixon of Dixon Heating & Cooling. Check out these Classic Vettes for sale!
In 1981, the assembly line at the St. Louis Corvette plant halted for good. “It was a combination of track on the floor, pushed hand carts and what workers called a ‘knife-edge’ conveyor.” ~ Vette Magazine.
The plant shut its doors and production moved south to Bowling Green, Kentucky, but the memories remain and Mike Dixon decided it was time to share his experience in the story. The Factory of Dreams is a rare product for Corvette collectible items collectors.
“On August 1, 1981, the St. Louis Corvette Assembly came to a final halt, and the last Corvette built there rolled out of the factory.” My dad was a lover of classic cars and loved perusing at car shows. If he were still on this earth,
I’d buy him this book as a gift from my heart because I know he’d enjoy reading it. Moreover, if you know someone in a Corvette Club interested in collectible Corvette items, then this book will be a great gift for them!
“There Are Really Two Stories Told In The Book.”
One is about the car. Moreover, it’s a peek into the life of an auto worker in the 1950s and ‘60s. This was a time when the industry was at its peak for its workers in St. Louis.
Furthermore, it shares an engineering triumph, by St. Louis and automotive engineers. It’s about the startup of the plant. However, it’s also about the history of the cars and the men who built them.” Melissa Meske ~ Advantage News
Dixon Now Has His Hands On Vettes as an Owner
Additionally, he has five of them and enjoys taking them to Classic Car Shows, including his 1972 red convertible corvette with its value being sentimental and not just material. In other words, Mike had a part in putting this one together when he worked at the factory. Are you looking to buy an old classic car?
“I did a VIN search, determining when and where it was built. From that, I know it is one that I dropped the body on. And it only took me 40 years to own it,” Dixon said, laughing.”
