Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

well I try to glance from 1993-present for WAMS.. I also look at the 1992 and 92-d for the "CAM" Close AM. I look for the DDR on the 1983. the DOubled ear lobe on the 1984. The doubled column on the 1994. 1995 and 1995 DDO. I also look for 1997 doubled ear lobe and the 2006 doubled ear lobe. If you go to coppercoins.com he has a whole lot of different die varietys. Hope this helps.

I found my first 1943 steel Wheat cent a few days ago.

InTheCrew,

Here is what I look for:
1960d Small Date over Large Date, and two other doubled dies, one showing primarily in "WE" of In God We Trust, and the other on the date
1964 DDR (most notable on the last S in STATES)
1968d DDR (clearly visible on the FG designers initials)
1969s DDO (VERY clear, and very valuable!)
1970s Small Date DDO (clearest on IN GOD WE TRUST)
1971 DDO (IN GOD WE TRUST)
1972 DDO (lots of doubled dies this year, all fun to find, some quite valuable)
1972s DDO (EXTREMELY RARE, clearest on IN GOD WE TRUST)
1980 DDO (clearest on the date, scarce)
1983 DDR (very clear on all lettering)
1984 DDO (doubled ear, very obvious)
1992 and 1992d CAM (the 92 is scarce, and I believe the 92d is either one or two known)
1996 WAM (unique)
1998 WAM (scarce)
1999 WAM (rare)
2000 WAM (tough to find, but the easiest of the WAM's)
I also personally look at the reverses of all 94,95,97, and 2001 cents for the possibility of finding another WAM
1994 DDR (two different DDR's, both different combinations of doubled columns)
1995 DDO (clearest on LIBERTY and IN)
1995d DDO (scarce, clearest on WE)
1996d with Lathe Lines - no real market established for these as of yet, but they are scarce. These lines are in concentric circles on the obverse of the coin, giving the coin surface a "bullseye" look. I've found about a half dozen of these.
1997 DDO (doubled earlobe)
2001 DDO (mostly visible on the Y of Liberty)
2004 DDR (E PLURIBUS UNUM, look for the dots in the motto to be distended (not round))
2004d DDR (similar to 2004 DDR)
2006 DDO Lots of doubled dies this year, the most valuable ones show either a doubled earlobe or an almost visible to the naked eye doubling on LIBERTY. Identified on coppercoins.com as 1DO-017, don;t mistake this for a large number of less dramatic doubled Liberty DDO's

That is a summary of what I look for. See coppercoins.com for many many more varieties and detailed pictures of most of the above; it is an invaluable resource!

thank you very much for that list....

found a 1966 Canadian one cent piece... dont know anything about them

congrats cole... I'm on my first box... still no IHC... but congrats on your find

How hard do you think it would be to build a collection of Canadian cents from U.S. Lincoln rolls? (say 1975 to now?) I already have about 4 dates I've pulled. The 1974 seems very common, I have 3 of those already from rolls.

I was just thinking about the same thing. I have some nice Canadian cents from the 1940's.
