Need4Speed1299 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 9:33 pm I have been collecting wheat pennies for many years now. Latley, I have been getting into the bank rolls since my local bank had 1 wheat every 2 rolls. I usually only take the wheat pennies. I was wondering what other non-wheat pennies to look for. Also, I am very unfamiliar with the vocabulary you guys use, such as WAPs? RPMs? Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 9:39 pm find the thread titled"Cool Lincoln roll finds" under Modern Coins for starters. There is a glossary on the left side of the page that will help you with terms and abbreviations. Have fun and be prepared to learn from some of the best....and ask plenty of questions.
