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

Great finds, pound_foolish!

Phreddy, that's quite the haul there!

Yes Errers, I heard there is an interest lately in pennies.

For over a year, Copper has been pulled from circulation in my area and it's not just some person sorting by hand. Since spring of 2024, bank boxes of circulated cents contained 0% Copper so I quit searching cents for a while. I still see the boxes with 0% Copper but not as often as last year so it's game on again.

My latest box of machine wrapped rolls yielded above average results. It contained 64% Copper including 38 1960d (small d variety) and many earlier BU LMC. I found quite a few nice BU 2009s as well. It had 19 LWC including the highlight pictured below:

@sich0015 That was a very nice box. And this coin is in nice condition too.

Im searching one box now that all coin are ugly and dirty But I know the feeling to find a really good box because it has happened to me too. so enjoy the hunting

Will banks still carry pennies even when they aren't being minted anymore?

I think the Zincolns are going to be in circulation a lot longer than we think, especially if there is no formal rounding law in place. I see no discussion of a US Mint alloy recovery program either.

Banks will want them for exact change and some businesses will until rounding rules are codified.
