Wow, I just found four 1962-D Lincoln cents in BU condition in my pocket change. Just think, they're 53 years old and look like they were just freshly minted. I guess someone must have spent a roll or stash of these coins in order to buy Christmas presents?  |

The best known variety for this year cent is the D/D, but alas, none of these coins appear to show any doubling around the mint mark.

A beauty - love finding those cherry red old Lincolns in circulation. I am amazed at how many are still out there although that 62-D is quite a find.

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

Nice. I like everyone else on here, pluck coins from my change. Though they are mostly wheaties and in the past year ive found 2 64 dimes and a 64 qaurter. Recently found a 63 canadian penny that looked to be in bu coditio. Though they head was scratched.

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.
