wifey New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 7:52 pm So I'm sorting through mountains and mountains of wheat pennies, loose, rolled and in albums, and I notice a roll of 1968 S Lincoln Memorial Cents. Are these special for some reason? Having a hard time knowing what I'm looking for here. Report this Post to the Staff

wifey New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 8:32 pm They are very shiny but I can see some wear on some of them, so I'm guessing circulated Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse master hub was slightly redesigned for 1969. I suspect you have what we call a "BU roll", in other words, a roll of red, uncirculated coins. They may appear worn because the master obverse hub in 1968 was very worn and produced "weak" dies. This is what is referred to as a BU (mint state) 1968 cent. If your coins look like this, then they are mint state. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 04:47 am While I didn't find a roll, I did get one in circulation here in the Tampa area the other day. I thought it was a proof that somehow made it into circulation too. It's one of the best looking LMCs I've ever found in circulation. Thanks for clearing that up. Report this Post to the Staff
