BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19999 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 11:51 am It's hard to find a proof roll searching because they were only issued in proof sets and not intended for circulation. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
MrHaz New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 12:03 pm I went through the other rolls I got yesterday and here are the results: 1969S-six 1968S- two 1905 Indian Head cent I'm almost positive that the 69s & 68s are proofs. It's difficult to tell from my pics from previous post, but their luster and sharpness is just amazing. Gonna stop by again today and see how many more rolls they have. I'm the only guy who get's rolls from them, so hopefuly there's some more waiting for me! Report this Post to the Staff

grancap74 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 2:37 pm Whats up with these. Looks like Abe got the mumps. Looking through rolls I have come across similar ones, I know they are die related but are they worth keeping for any reason. The first 2 (1992) are a very light strike with a lot of "bubbling". The 1990 has so many "bubbles" it really odd looking. The 1995 has marks from the die that I have seen a lot more lately searching. Any thoughts or ideas. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 3:29 pm They are zinc bubbles. Something about the copper layer not bonding well with the zinc core I think. A common problem among early zincs. Edited by VisigothKing 10/13/2011 3:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
grancap74 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 3:48 pm Jangofett, thanks. We've gone through about 300 rolls over the last month and it's amazing how bad the quality was in the late 80's and early 90's on these coins. We at least found a few "s" mints from the 60's so it wasn't a total skunk. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 4:02 pm The thing is finding early red zincs without zinc bubbles, or any other problem. Report this Post to the Staff
