At my shop I will buy Whitman blue folders and I will circulate the Memorial cents sometimes, even in new red condition.

i just searched a penny box yesterday and I thought it was odd that there were many 60's-70's that were in bu condition I was mainly going for wheats but now that I saw this post should I have kept all these bu coins

should I have kept all these bu coins I probably would have kept them but I keep everything -- well, nearly everything. I like to search for varieties and errors. If you didn't want them and you don't know anybody who does, there's no reason to keep them. They made millions and millions of these. It's just a lot of fun to find something old in your change, especially in BU condition. |

I've been keeping all AU and BU copper pre-1982 Lincoln Memorials. I found a nice BU 1968-S since I first posted this thread. They will be the next "Wheaties" in my opinion.

I never thought I'd be salivating over a BU Memorial cent. I began collecting in 1972, and back then something like this was no big deal. But excuse me while I get a napkin! Thanks! Edited by jpsned

Gotta wonder where that coin has been hanging around all these years .... Did a collector release it back into circulation as I have with a few Weaties every now and then or was it stuck in some dark place at the bottom of some teller drawer and finally got shook loose?
Just where has that coin been all these years?

As I stated in the first post, I found 4 of those 1962-D Lincolns at the same time, Here's a pic of 3 of them, the fourth is in my Dansco album (the best one). I was too lazy to get it out for the group photo. As for how they got released back into the wild, I don't know. It does make you wonder though.  |

It is always nice to find really nice examples of old cents in change. Since you got them together and they are all the same date, I would bet that someone broke open a roll and was spending them. Whether is was intentional or not it doesn't matter. But there are others out there to find I am sure.
