mwr1550 Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 6:32 pm I just picked up a nice bunch of pre 83 LMC's from my local dealer. He had a bag of 2,250 pennies mostly from the 60's and 70's and nearly all of them red. Many that look uncirculated. I got them for $38.00 or about .017 cents per penny. That's below melt. He told me that he had just got them himself and didn't go through them other than to spot check to be sure they were pre 83. I'm going to be having fun checking them out. I looked a little bit and found some really nice 62's 64's and quite a few BU 70d's. I searched maybe 150 so I have a long way to go. Report this Post to the Staff

mwr1550 Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 8:40 pm Yes, I plan to look them all over as wellas I can. I don't know alot about errors or what to look for but I will keep an eye out for one. I am also going to be looking for varieties which I can reference quite easily. I'm hoping to find one or two that will pay for the cost of the lot. Report this Post to the Staff
ibab Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 8:45 pm seems like a great buy. there are plenty of varieties to be found - and in AU/BU they are a bit easier to spot. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 01:46 am Killer DEAL! I would have jumped on that instantly too. If they are mostly MS red coins, you'll easily make your money back. Besides varieties, look for MS66 and up gems. This could be a chance for you to start a BU roll set. Lincoln Cent Lover!
