1000 Lincolns my finds and pain...

Hello all Iam sorry that i was unable to visit the forums the last 2 days, it is due to my computer. It is fine now and working better than ever.

On to coins, I went to my local bank yeasterday and bought 10 dollars in pennies. The teller looked at me funny like no one had ever done that before, there had to be. Anyways i took them home and immediatley got out a big rag towel and searched them one by one. When i was done with opening the rolls I went back to the certain piles of 00's, 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's and 50's-wheaties and looked for what i needed. I made my way through all the years and filled up about 10 slots on my temporary lincoln folders. I was proud considering that all of them were wheaties and D's.

Here are my finds:

8 Wheaties in total, only one of which i needed-go figure-a decent 1965 D.

5 canadian pennies

2006 penny - which i thought was meraculous these days

And my best find in my opinion a 1971 S penny, my only proof coin.



These are my results. Iam happy that i got through these 1000 coins in about only 3 hours and that my neck has finally healed after a soaking .


My plan now is to go through with a list of weird oddities of lincolns and see what i got. Only thing is is that i cant find a list, i dont want anyone sitting there making me one because thats ridiculous but if someone can find one that'd be great.

Iam going to cash in my non-needed pennies after going through with the list and searching.



Peter
