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

You're welcome and no problem. Good luck and have fun!

The last box we did, got us this off-center (?) 1974 D, 18 (2009's), 3 (59's) and 16 Canadians including a 1941

Wheats: 1930, 1939 S, 1941, 1946, 1948 S, 1951 S, 1952 S, 1953 S, 1953 D

Just a Dad, nice finds! That 1974 D is not Off Center. It's called a Misaligned Die. It happens when usually the obverse die is a little bit off. Not the same as a Off Center Strike, as it only affects one side. An Off Center Strike will affect both sides equally.

E&V with the great info!

Box 22 complete:
526 Copper
14 Wheats
191?, cant really tell the last number
'25,'44x2,'44S,'45,'46x3,'52,'52D,'53,'55x2
14 Canadian copper
1 2009

Next box started. I'm 10 rolls in without a single copper. This is the first time in 8 years or so I was skunked on a single roll but 10 down and no copper. I'll update on the next 40 rolls.

I recently searched two boxes and found a total of 21 wheats, along with a 1955 YH and a 1952 George VI Canadian. Out of the wheats, the oldest was a 1934, with everything else being 40's and 50's. Two nicer than usual wheats, a '54-D and '57-D. There were also two unc/BU cents from the 60's, a 61-D and a 63-D. I also found a 2009 cent that might be a satin finish or might just be nicely toned. Thoughts?

1st thanks for the information "Errers and Varietys" for letting us it was a misaligned die and how to tell it apart from an off-center one.

this week I and the little one did 2 boxes and got a ton of 09's and Canadian's.
Here were the wheats:

1942
1942 S
1944
1944 S
1945 S
1951 D
1957
1957 S
1956 D (x2)
1958 D

Also, my 9 year old asked me about this 1955 and why the last 5 and the start of Liberty where the way they were, and what is the bump in the 9 about, I am still new and don't know. So I'm roll modeling by asking for help.

Nice finds Just a Dad! That 1955 Wheat cent is showing heavy Die Deterioration, along with Die Deterioration Doubling. Back in the 1950's, the U.S. Mint really pushed those dies to their limits, resulting in very poor quality details on some 1955 LWC's. Unfortunately, it's very common to see them like that.
