Ricardocody, one thing to remember is even if nobody ever heard of something, it could be a new discovery.So don't lose hope yet.There is a thread right now called Heartbreaker, look and see if your 72 looks like the one in the first post..that is Machine Doubling.

I love going though rolls! My latest find was 2 days ago. I found not one but two 1984 double ears! Both are in AU condition. My finds seem to always come in twos. Awhile back I found two 1997 double ear lobe lincolns in the same roll. I Love it!

Could you all tell me what these 84 double ear lincolns in AU are worth. The books I read say in AU they can go for about 80 dollars but when I talk to dealers they tell me I'll be lucky if I get ten bucks for one. I understand the retail price vs dealer price but come on! Was I just being lowballed or are the books that far off?

livefree, I usually look up ended auctions on ebay to get a good idea of value.That sure sounds low to me.Do you have any pics of the 84's ?

Well, I found the 1997 DDO-1, a 1995 DDO-1, a 1998 WAM,and two I haven't identified.One is a 1984-D with something on it's earlobe,I posted it in the error section.And another 1997 with something on it's earlobe. Then there was 16 wheats,7 modern S cents,and a panama penny.All of the majot errors were very nice examples too.This definitely has been my best bag so far.

Very cool finds Maineman750, thats why I keep searching. Still learning, I am in the process of checking the coins that I saved doing my roll set. So I am keeping my fingers crossed.

All I can say is be patient and don't give up. I had about (5) $50 bags in a row with no major finds before this one. Good thing I'm retired or I wouldn't get anything done except searching pennies [:0]

Maineman, I like having them separated by year. That way I pull up coppercoins and look at the varieties for the year I am working on at that time. Sure helps to refresh my head on what to look for. I have so many 2009s I am dreading trying to sort all that out.

We all have our systems I'm sure.I know most of the major varieties and what to look for so that helps.I'm not so concerned with some of the minor varieties and RPM's either.I have a roll of each of the 2009's but haven't bothered looking at them...not sure why, but I'm stuck on double dies,WAM's,CAM's and the 88 RDV-006
