Also on the I believe 82 LMC there are copper and zinc varieties...How can I tell which is copper and which is zinc? Since I am starting on my bank box of lincolns tonight are there any others to keep an eye out for? G Report this Post to the Staff

everything Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 4:31 pm IF your good at flipping coins you'll find copper makes a distinct 18 kilohertz ring vs. a zinc which won't really ring at all when you flip it. But, it would be quicker to just separate them all out, then do them later. I did a search for you, check out this post titled "found a list of lincoln cents to look for." http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=33344 Report this Post to the Staff

By the way, I recall some time ago seeing a topic on CCF regarding a singule example of a 1995(?) WAM discovery. I (quietly) felt it was probably bogus, but it received quite a bit of attention from the experts nonetheless. It may even have achieved certification. Report this Post to the Staff

murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 5:21 pm That lot will go for a lot more than $10.50. 1999 WAM's will go for $100-$200 by itself based on condition. the 1998 and 2000 are worth less though. Report this Post to the Staff
