You're searching Lincolns, right? Have you bought a Red Book for quick reference?

Do you just search pennies?

If you're looking for key dates, the easiest place to find them is probably nickels.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

There are quite a few key dates in the Lincoln series. A good list is as follows:

1909-S
1909-S VDB
1912-D
1912-S (I would consider the 1912s maybe as semi-keys)
1922 plain
1931-S
Any 1943 steel cent found is rare.
1955-P 1DO-001 (The famous DD)
1960-P small date
1969-S 1D0-001 (Extremely rare DD that can fetch upwards of $30,000)
1970-S small date
1982-P small date DDR
1983-P DDR
1984-P DDO
1988 RDV-006
1992 CAMs
1995-P 1DO-001
1997 DD
1998-P, 1999-P (the most valuable), 2000-P WAMs

That's about all I can think of in terms of Lincoln cents. I think any 1931-1934 cent is hard to find.

If you want to find the valuable errors and varieties, you need to do your research and have the right tools to find them. You may literally look at thousands of the same year and mint mark and never find one. If "reading takes too much time lol", this might not be the get rich quick scheme you were hoping for.
