SD, I was very pleased to find it. I think I will be keeping mine. I like to have as many examples of errors as possible for reference. Cool to know what it is approximately worth, though.
I really appreciated Mike Diamond commenting on it. I was pretty sure what it was but the depression running through the bust bothered me. I had read an article by Mike regarding ghost images on greasers. It seemed that the depression might be part of the memorial.
Thx, Jim

Just picked up 10 rolls of uncrimped hand rolled lincolns from bank downstairs in my office building. Have not done this in a few years. See what happens now that I am armed with much much more knowledge on varieties.

SDCoinGuy, I have heard the term, 4 diamond IHC, but not 4 star. There are 4 diamonds on the piece of ribbon on the obverse. A 4 diamond would have all 4 clearly visible. I have edited this post to say what I meant, not what I said.

found two wheats in my 10 rolls yesterday - 1953, 1954-d both in commonly found circulated condition. Also found one of those counterstamped lincolns with the Rhode Island state north of the date, a toned 1983, and a nice BU 1992, and an unc 1960-d large date. Not a great pull - we shall keep trying.

I went through an N.F. String & sons box last night and had 24 wheaties - my best in a while. I usually average about 15. Nothing special, but there were 2 1930s.

24 is a decent haul, I rarely get that many from a box anymore.

Do you ever get new boxes? I picked up two boxes of the 2009 Formative Years boxes at our local bank late last year. I still have most of the rolls but I plan to search them for gems and errors. Maybe this winter. Better than that, I wonder if those would have any premium value at the coin show that we are going to next weekend? I think I will toss them in the car and ask around. Maybe try to do some trading!

Nice find on the 68-S, Thad. I am amazed every time I find a coin from circulation in that condition and 42 yrs old. Will hate to see it end, but the coin jars have to run out sooner or later, don't they?
