m9frank Pillar of the Community United States 628 Posts	Posted 11/18/2008 6:28 pm More than any other year LMC, I find nice red AU 1968 lincoln cents. They have a nice strong strike and so often look at first glance to be BU. Anybody know why this is? Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/18/2008 8:37 pm I don't have an answer to your question. This question might help me though: Where are you finding AU red LMC? I may be able to answer your question after you answer that one! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 11/18/2008 10:42 pm Are they spotted? All these in the mint sets have carbon spots or tarnish. Maybe people are spending them because they are bad. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 11/19/2008 09:01 am I've noticed the same thing with the 1968. The strike always looks better than other years. I also find reds of this year in searching bank rolls. May have to do with the design changes of that year? Any other ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
m9frank Pillar of the Community United States 628 Posts	Posted 11/20/2008 09:09 am I find them in rolls, not all AU, but many red 1968s, P, D, and S. Yes, they often have slight black spotting, not always. The strike is very strong with this year. I save a lot of them, red or not. I assume I'll get some of flack for saying this, some look BU.
