Every once in a while I'll get a box of Lincoln's (or a few rolls). I would't consider myself a roll searcher as I've only looked through 25-30 bucks worth. Anyway I found a steel cent yesterday, very worn and rusted, but something I've never seen in circulation.

nice find I'm also very new to searching only went though 30 dollars so far. I have found the more you do the better and quicker you are at it. I found a cool cent yesterday actually I will post it later.

I found it weeks ago and today as check my spare better dates I see that is a rotate die error ! The rotation is only 1 maybe 2 hours counter clockwise but its my 1st rotated die so though why not share with you ?!  Good luck !

That amount of rotation is within Mint spec Ricardo.

I just started on another $50 bag from my bank. Have gone through about 1000 so far and already have over 50 1965 P LMCs. I'm thinking someone must have saved all the 1965s from their birth year or something? Weird..

Jez, I would have searched that 2011 box for a few ultra high grade gems.

Just finished a box, got sorta excited when I found a cent that had the date marked off with ****, some weird error. Then I realized the darn thing was plastic!?!?!?!
Question...I find literally no S mint marks. My brother lives in LA, knowing that cents don't travel as well, would it be worthwhile to ask him to buy me a few boxes and ship them to me?

If you really want S mints, yes, that would be the way to go. not very many wheats in that area, though.

Snoman...its all random chance...Im in Northern Indiana I get "S" mint marks all the time...I also have gone through boxes with no wheat cents at all and then the next box I found 47 wheat cents! So its all random chance.
