Bc collecting is new to me, I have the desire to go through all 2500 of them quickly! BUT I know that it's probably not a good idea & not what I should do, which is why I'm seeking suggestions & tips before I dive in, please, s'il vous plai, por favor? PS: I'm SUPER excited!

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 10:40 pm Just curious .. why you want to delete the post? Have you changed your mind about going through a box of Lincolns? Report this Post to the Staff
LincolnCentMeHere Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 11:10 pm Nope, I most definitely have not changed my mind! I am super excited about going through them!! I just thought that I his post maybe similar to another one I post yesterday. And since one of my first posts were apparently similar it was locked. I'd like to avoid doing having that happen again, as I feel like I'm being a nuisance to the mods!! Do you have any advice for me about hunting through the 2500 pennies (cents) ?

Your collection will serve as a reference set so you have something to compare while searching varieties. The collection itself willprove a lot of fun and a challenge. Good luck. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff

The other thread was locked because it was a duplicate of the one you later posted in the right forum. Again, no big deal. It is what we are here for.

LincolnCentMeHere Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 12:10 pm Ok, thank you! I am getting better (I think?) as I just posted a new topic in the wrong forum, having realized about 20 seconds after posting it. I deleted it & posted it in this forum instead. Progress not perfection! :) What kind of surface should I use when opening up & going through the rolls? Should I wear the special gloves? Or somethings else? Report this Post to the Staff

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9163 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 1:03 pm You do not need gloves for cents, unless you want to keep your fingers clean. When you find a coin you want to keep put it in a pile and keep that pile all the same coin, then when you have a few you can pick the better 1 or more out and then put in a 2x2 or album.
