Key Dates To Look For When CRH

I think that the question is fair, and aside from a few unnecessary tones, the responses are as well. The question asked is a fairly common request made by a number of the CRH enthusiasts (especially at the start). But I think that the research is necessary in order for an individual to create an optimal list. My list (that mainly exists in my mind these days) would satisfy some, annoy others, and be incomplete to the bigtime variety hunters. Where to start? Where to stop? It's impossible to really pinpoint.

I'd be happy to share my cent and nickel lists with others, but they were a series of post-its created and revised every time I found a new site (or one I was directed to as dd27 has done here). They are mostly gone now as I've committed what I search for to my mind and where I'm foggy, I rely on the various sites for a refresher (placed into Favorites). And for that reason, I couldn't post a useful list off the top of my head (and I'm sure I'm not alone).

I recommend the Cherrypicker's Guide, and not necessarily for the listings, but for the information preceding the listings. Essentially, establish your criteria based on the information provided there (e.g. scarcity, desirability, etc.) Using the indexing there, it may be helpful in developing boundaries to the search effort. If the eyes are a concern, limit the list to the obvious errors/varieties and invest in a decent vision system to do the hunting. It'll make it that much more enjoyable. Good luck!

Sure thing - trying to pay it forward, particularly since I learned about all those resources here on CCF.

@druu - I totally forgot about Lincoln Cent Resource--an excellent site! Thank you for mentioning it. :O)
