BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 08/30/2009 11:07 pm BTW - I like the title of this thread! I'm one of the few that think the Memorial series is beautiful. It's the most under-appreciated coin types in collecting and, IMO, a bit of a "sleeper" series. Yes....I'm going to say it again, LOL: <soapbox 1> It's VERY difficult to find super nice, ultra-high grade Memorial cents. Black spots, worn dies and hits are extremely prevalent. The true, well-struck, ultra gems are rare and becoming rarer through attrition. <soapbox 0> Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
SilverTurtle Valued Member United States 371 Posts	Posted 08/31/2009 4:52 pm I was quite surprised to find these two in my mom's change jar. My mom had me look through her change jar before she would cash it in at the bank. There was another 60 D, but it lost it's luster. Memorials will gain more appreciation after the 2010 Design, which appears to be a bundle of wheat tied together. I'm mostly interested in Silver Trimes, Barber quarters + Halves, and other old coinage, but some of the modern designs are nice. The Lincoln Memorial Design also has so many error variations, like I was pulling out all the 84s to see if there was a doubled ear, and I was checking to see if the 1960 D up above was an overdate.
