just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 11:31 pm If you know anyone near the USA, just ask them to stop in a bank and get some rolls of those. As to which ones to look out for, best to get a copy of that Red Book. You may want to check out some on line dealers for coin books such as Wizard coin supply or coin supply Express. Don't know how far you are from the USA but if you get a chance to come here, first find out if there are any coin shows where your going. Report this Post to the Staff

oober Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 10:06 pm Instead of a penny collection, do a type set. Maybe a 20th century set, This is a better set to start out with. Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 11:19 pm Quote: i prob should invest in a book! Maybe the best book to get started with would be the usual RedBook ("The Official Red Book -- A Guide Book of United States coins"). That's the first book I got decades ago (1959 edition). There should be enough detail in there to get started with the Lincoln Cents. After reading through the guide book, you might become interested in something else -- like a type collection.

AeR0 New Member Canada 25 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 8:58 pm so I am working on getting a set from 1959 to 2015 however I see online there are multiple coins for the same years. without having to buy a book does anyone have a pic or a list of how my collection in my folder should look?

Half Pillar of the Community United States 606 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 09:23 am I think that auto correct got your first sentence. LOL Assuming you mean " Red Book", it is the standard reference for all US coinage. It gives you all the vital information and a little in depth stuff. I have never looked at a black book but, based on the description, it seems to be a price guide mostly To answer your previous question; Most years of Lincoln cents have 3 different mint marks. P, D, and S. Those correspond to Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. There are some years that only have one mint mark (SMS sets), and some years have four different designs (2009) 1982 would be another odd ball year. The Red Book will give all the detail you need to make a decision on what to include and to exclude. Edited by Half 06/25/2015 09:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 09:33 am There is a black book, but it's not as good as the Red Book. I'd get the 2016 Red Book. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 11:38 am Forgot to say that before. As a start go to the Whitman Publishing web site. There you can see a massive amount of books on coins they produce. As to Cents, also try the coppercoins.com web site for lots of info on Cents. Stay away from ebay for buying stuff. And as I've said before, if your going to the USA for anything, look up first locations and times for coin shows. Report this Post to the Staff
matttheriley Pillar of the Community United States 1512 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 11:47 am Hey man! ! Ok, two things: 1.) Look to the left sidebar on your screen; you'll see a section called US Coin Facts. LOTS of information there. 2.) Keep asking questions, posting when relevant, and read old posts. Eventually you will have enough posts to start trading with other members. Be patient, the group here is a great resource for knowledge and fair trades! http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...sp#rulesid12 Report this Post to the Staff
