Let's turn it back around... FIRST, go out to PCGS Online Photograde ( https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/) and do the leg work to figure out what you think they grade... Then post some of these asking for grading help, specifically "I think it's such-and-such, why or why not". You'll learn a ton. It's the old saying: If you give a cat a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a cat to fish, he mostly sits around complaining you didn't give him a fish.

I'll even open up another  topic. Circulated vs. uncirculated. Assuming OP is CRHing his nice coin finds. Please be advised where you "discover" these coins are important. If found in change or from a current rolled coin from a bank or business it is my Belier and some others these coins are CIRCULATED, period. Circulated means someone, somewhere has had hands-on connection to this coin(s). Once that happens they are no longer the same as when leaving the mint, as in Mint State as in current grading scale of MM-60-MS-70. Highest circulated grade therefore becomes AU59, Almost Uncirculated, and NO HIGHER! Period! So I question where these coins came from a roll containing all 1963Ps? Or mixed dates? Mixed dares aren't mint rolls folks. The OP's coins are fine in a "BU" set(another bug up my craw, for another time) but never in a "certified Mint " set.

 mrzllewellyn. I would advise you to buy a coin already slabbed if that's what you really want. It will most likely end up being less expensive and there are tons out there.

I'm really bad at telling if anything is double die or machine doubled or whatever but it looks like the 1957 has a little doubling to me but you guys know more then I do and I'm sure you guys would have said something if it was but just wanted to make sure I see it most on the date

I plan on it. Does every one keep all their copper pennies they find?

I used to, until I realized 1) government doesn't allow melted copper and most likely never will. 2). Pure copper raw is too plentiful now for keeping an alloy mix that is too expensive to separate. 3). Just try selling "BU" LMC's collections...ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!  , I have, doesn't work wound up giving away as prizes or gifts to YNs. The rest of my AU/XF shiny Lincolns(copper and zincs) from 750,000 CRH searches got bank dumped a couple months ago, all 6900 coppers and 5300 zincolns just to give you new guys a big thrill  ! It gave me $122 to spend on worthwhile coins for my expanded 7070, a much better future investment than "pennies"!  BTW, I do save OBW rolls of copper lincolns, these I sell as individual coin sets, seems people want a true MS state coin rather than a questionable "BU" coin(BU is an arbitrary definition, does not mean grades, just "shiny")!

Depends on dates. CAM/WAM are normal for their respective years. 1998-2000 have the WAM Wide AM, close FG, normal for those years is opposite,close AM, Far FG which is what you have there. The 1992/1993 years are the opposite of the 1998-2000. They are the CAM, far FG where normal is far AM, close FG. Confused enough already?  Just you wait!
