Thanks for checking out my finds, CoffeeTime! Not quite sure what you are looking for but I'll give you a little background and how I search. I have other finds, other than on here but I started this thread just for my bankroll finds. I'm very fortunate to have a wife that works for a big box and she's in the vault, so she will bring me bricks home and take back what I've searched.

My beginning in coins was in 2011, when I saw a 1914 D Lincoln Cent sell for $5000 on the bay and this peaked my interest. I was always familiar with watching for silver coins and silver certificates in circulation but beyond that, did not really know much more about coins. I jumped into Morgan dollars, because of seeing them, once again, on the bay and thought they were the most beautiful coin ever, and still think they are. I did that for about 6 years and spent quite a bit of time on VamWorld and found a couple of discovery Vams, in my time there. I then moved back to Lincoln cents, in 2017 and have been with them predominately, ever since.

The majority of my learning, both in Lincolns and the minting process and all that comes with it, was on a site called " Lincoln Cent Forum". There are so many members on there, that have an immense amount of knowledge, in varieties, errors, clashes, Cuds, trail dies and so on. The site has its ebbs and flows and is in a little bit of an ebb right now but you can learn much there.

As far as my search method, I use a scope, on my laptop, and search at night, while we watch TV. I tried using a loope but just can not train myself to do well with it. I search, predominately, Lincoln cents by the brick. I have found, the more you know is out there, the more you will find, so knowledge and time, is key.
Here are a few links I have bookmarked, that have served me well. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thanks for sharing. I'm familiar with the Lincoln Cent Forum, but like you mentioned, it's a bit quite there. There is still a vast amount of knowledge in the old posts. My search flow isn't too different; it's good to see I'm on the right track. I also have a microscope which is much easier than my 10x loupe

I have seen folks show their bank rolls with wheat enders quite often but just found one a little bit ago. I gestimate that I have searched around 6500 rolls in the last few years and can easily count on one hand the times I've had a wheat ender.

Fantastic!

I enjoy every single wheat found in the wild. They are not as common as they used to be.

Thanks for looking jbuck! I average about 15 wheats a brick but they are seeming to dwindle a little in the last few years. The enders for me have been few and far between.

I had never found this variety until March of this year and found two that month, found another just a few minutes ago. Nothing super exciting but it does have nice distortion in the date, LIBERTY and TRUST. Thanks for looking.

Pickins are still pretty slim lately but found this nice, unlisted and very unusual spike head this evening. I have rolls of spike heads that I have just saved while searching. If anyone would like a roll, free of charge, just let me know. Thanks for looking.

2021 P Lincoln Cent unlisted spike head.

Just found this guy, a nice RIDB. There is one listing for this year/mm but mine looks a little different, maybe a later die stage or new.

1991 P RIDB.
