SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WISCONSIN LEAF ERRORS I HAVE KEPT CLOSE EYE TO THE PAGE COUNTS ON THE ERROR COINS AS THEY SHOW UP. THESE ADAMS ERRORS HAVE NOT COME EVEN CLOSE TO THE AMOUNTS WE HAD FOR LEAF ERRORS. AT ONE TIME LEAFS SEARCHED WOULD SHOW 2000 PAGES AND THIS ADAMS ERROR HAS NOT BUT BARELY WENT OVER 300 AT ANY TIME. THAT IS ALL THE ERRORS INCLUDED. THE SCAMS OR JUNK AUCTIONS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. THESE USUALLY TAKE UP HALF.

SO THIS MEANS THE DOUBLED RIM ERRORS ARE VERY RARE COMPARED TO THE WASHINGTON WHICH WENT INTO THE 900 AND 1000 PAGE AND RAN THAT WAY FOR A LONG TIME.  THE WASHINGTON WAS JUST A SMOOTH RIM ERROR TOO, THIS ADAMS DOLLAR HAS SHOWN UP WITH TWO ERRORS AND BETWEEN BOTH ERRORS WE HAVE ONLY SEEN 300 PAGES. THIS IS JUST IN THE ERRORS GROUP.

CONSIDER THE TURN AROUND AVERAGE FOR EBAY AT 7 DAYS AND IN ONE MONTH THERE ARE ONLY 1200 PAGES FOR ADAMS ERRORS. AND REMEMBER THAT HALF OF THOSE ARE NOT THE MAJOR ERRORS. ONLY 600 FOR ONE MONTH. SOME GO ON DAILY SO A BIT MORE AUCTIONS IS PROBABLY MORE REAL. AND NOW THE SLABBED COINS ARE HITTING. THESE ARE A LOT OF THE COINS THAT SOLD ON EBAY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I SLAB COINS AND RESELL THEM ON EBAY SO I AM ASSURED THAT OTHERS DO TOO.

PAGE COUNTS FOR TODAY, 6-27-07 WAS 196. THEY SEEM TO BE SLOWING UP NOW. THE WEEKEND IS NEAR THOUGH. I REMEMBER BUYING BUFFALO NICKELS WITH SPEARS FOR $20 ON EBAY. SELLING THEM FOR $1000 AND BETTER WAS QUITE THE THRILL. THESE ADAMS DOLLARS HAVE A FEW MORE IN PAGE COUNTS THAN THE SPEARED NICKELS AND THE SPEARED NICKELS RAN OUT FASTER BUT THIS COUNT IS STILL LOW AND I AM GOING BACK TO BIDDING. I THINK WE HAVE A GOLD MINE IN THESE ERORS. THAT IS, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE NEW OWNERS. THANKS FOR READING, IF YOU DID.

NOW 7-1-07 THERE ARE 400 ADAMS LISTINGS TODAY. MEANING 200 POSSIBLE ERRORS IN DOUBLED RIMS AND SMOOTH. VERY FEW SMOOTH. SEEMS THE SMOOTH RIMS ARE GOING TO BE THE RARE ONE. WE STILL DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE HOW MANY DOUBLED RIM COINS THE MINT MADE. COULD THEY HAVE POSSIBLY DONE AN ENTIRE BIN FULL AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD THESE BINS HOLD 150 TO 170 THOUSAND COINS.

IF A FULL BIN OF SMOOTHIES GOT OUT THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE LISTED. NOT KNOWING COMPLETELY THE OPERATIONS OF THE MINT ON THESE NEW COINS WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW ONLY A FEW MISSED THIS PROCESS. DID THE BIN THAT MISSED THE EDGE LETTERING COME FROM AND END BATCH AND THERE WERE ONLY A FEW THOUSAND LEFT TO DO? WAS IT BREAKTIME FOR THE BOYS IN THE MINT AND JUST A FEW COINS GOT MISSED? WHO KNOWS. SEEMS TO ME WE NEED A SPY IN THE MINT THAT WATCHES WHAT IS GOING ON DURING THE PROCESS. OH YEAH, THEY HAVE ONE. WAS IT TIME FOR HIS LITTLE COCA SNORT BREAK AND THE SPYING WAS EVEN STOPPED. QUALITY CONTROL IS DEFINATELY A PROBLEM HERE. IF SOMEONE OUT THERE THINKS THE PHILLY MINT IS DOING A GOOD JOB THEY NEED TO UNROLL 100 ROLLS OF COINS FROM EACH MINT AND THEN DECIDE. THE MINNESOTA QUARTER HAD AN ERROR TOO. OR 3 OR 4 OR HOW MANY? OVER 100 VARIETIES OF ERROR COINS JUST ON ONE ISSUE OF QUARTERS. THATS BAD WORK. I BUILD HOUSES FOR A LIVING AND IF I HAD OVER 100 ERRORS ONE ONE HOUSE I WOULD BE SOON UNEMPLOYED. SEE THE POINT? WHO IS IN CHARGE OF FIRING THESE BOYS? OH YEAH, AGAIN, HE OR SHE IS PROBABLY NOT DOING THE JOB APPOINTED EITHER. MAYBE I AM A BIT TO HARD ON THE PHILLY MINT WORKERS. WHEN I GOT MY FIRST EXTRA TREE ERROR FOR 100 BUCKS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO REALLY DO GOOD WITH THOSE. THEN AFTER I AQUIRED HUNDREDS OF THE MINNESOTA ERRORS I LEARNED THAT GETTING 20 BUCKS BACK FOR ONE WAS A LUCKY DAY. I HAVE LEARNED NOW THE RARE COIN FROM THE PHILLY MINT IS ONE WITHOUT AN ERROR. TRY TO FIND ONE.

HOPE ALL THIS HELPS SOMEONE. I AM GOING TO GO BID ON ANOTHER SMOOTH ADAMS DOLLAR OR TWO. IF YOU WANT ONE YOU WILL NEED TO FIND MY PROXY BID AND GO HIGHER.
