Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

Rook - as Numisma notes, the Error and Variety hunting is a rather broad topic. One thing to keep in mind is that a single minor variety is worth a few common LWCs. For instance, the 1989 LMC DDO I found last night lists for $3-$6 in EF40 at Coppercoins. The LWCs from 1940-1958 in EF40 condition list for $0.12-$1.25 in Red Book (2014).

Keep in mind, the values listed at Coppercoins and Red Book are higher than you will typically pay. But it does illustrate that Error/Variety hunting has greater potential value. For me, I love the mix of finding LWCs and high grade LMCs and LSC. And searching for the E/V coins increases the interest for me and the likelihood I'll find a few keepers in a box.

Good luck on the hunt!

PS - the 2004P-1DR-010 on the previous page lists for $15 at Coppercoins.

VDB, great find! I've never found one!

While searching through this past weekends box for varieties, I discovered 1994 DDR.

It's ground off. PMD. Is the coin thinner than normal?

Electronic scales for coins go for less than $60 - not cheap but invaluable for providing measurements to support informed decisions. I have a similar penny... weighing made it obvious that the reverse was removed by abrasion.

Thanks for the tip Numismatic, I ordered the scale and a calibration weight. I'll provide a follow up post on this coin.

today was definitely one of my best boxes of cents Ive done. There were no enders. but it did produce 53 wheats, 29 of which were BU 1955 s mint wheats!

When I saw the first BU cent alone in a roll, it was so new looking, I thought I might have missed one. So I rechecked what I already searched, but there were no others. Then I opened the next roll and another one came out! 2 in a box, wow!

Then the next roll spilled out 15 or 20, I lost count. There were other wheats coming out heavy here too. Then a few more 55s BU stragglers at the end. I need to try to mine this vein tomorrow, there is probably the rest of the roll out there, plus other wheats in the same dump.


Look at this beauty, they all look like this!







been a great weekend of hunting coins

thanks, I figure the bank that sold me that box is probably my best bet, I will try them again tomorrow. It wont be the first time ive gone in there with the # stamped piece of the coin box in my hand asking them to help me get a box with a certain # stamped on it. When they can bring the box piece in the vault with them, it helps them remember and find the stamp on the boxes in the vault. Usually the tellers have no idea that the boxes are # stamped unless you tell them.

even if I dont find more, I'm happy to have found these!
