Congrats on the WAM!

Tonight I found a couple nice coins of note. A 1959D in MS-63/64 RD and an absolutely blazing red 1984 that's about MS-67. The 84 was the nicest of that year I've ever found, it's outstanding even though it has a good number of gas bubbles.

I completed my Lincoln Cent collection from circulation last night. Pretty easy to accomplish I know, but nice to have Whitman folders full!

This 1980 looks like it's been cleaned. It's more "gold" than copper. Just different-enough for me to hang onto.

On a side note...I'm officially known as "that penny-guy" at 3 of my local banks now. It seems I've depleted their stash of paper-rolled cents...and I now have to call ahead to order bank boxes.


I've got my eye on a Union bank though. They've got a "coinstar-type" sorting machine in the lobby for their customers. I'm thinking about opening an account with them, just to see if I can get the bagged coin.

Nice finds there scotty!

I completed my 1986-D BU roll today. THESE ARE WICKED TOUGH! About 10-15 of them have pretty bad black mint spotting. I will upgrade those as I get lucky but it's going to take some time. Finding a nice, red BU 86-D is a rare thing.

I'm (planning) on getting 10 more roles today, as I don't want to rush in and get a box and potentially ruin my relationship with the bank! lol!

If you have an account at that bank, they should be willing to order a box for you. If not, take your account elsewhere. They will certainly have no probelm charging you for overdrawing your account or ATM fees for using another bank etc! Most banks place coin orders weekly so all they have to do is add one extra.

Guys, I have a big jar of (2,5 kilos) Lincoln pennies with me, they come from lots I purchased plus from people that know I colelct coins and finally, back in 2001, I bought a lot of them from a local dealer in Turkey. I am willing to go through them since I have some time nowadays. What should I look for?.. I have seen many bright, shiny 1990's and 1980's cents in them.. What years and mitmarks I should save and which ones to discard, any ideas?..thank you.

What does "BU" mean? I've seen that term in just about every thread and every response on this forum.

WAM is " Wide AM". On some 1998,99 and 2000 Lincoln cents there is a space between the bases of the letters"A and M" in "America. On most cents of those years the bases touch each other so the ones that don't touch are the WAM's.

I just went through 4 rolls of cents and 2 rolls had 4 dimes in them.That's almost like getting 2 free rolls of cents(unfortunately none of the dimes were silver!).

I found this along with 20 other wheatbacks in a single roll! I danced in my desk chair when I saw that silvery gleam.
