The main ones are:

1936 DDO's
1943 copper cent
1944 steel cent
45-S inverted MM
55 DDO
56-D RPM#1

I might have missed a couple, but someone will be along shortly and list the others, lol. And all S mints. Also, you might want to get a nice loupe (I have a 14x, and it works well!), to look for minor DDO's and DDR's, and RPM's. Check out www.coppercoins.com for more info. Good luck! :thumb:

Try to keep an eye out for the 1936 doubled-die, 1944-D/S, 1946-S/D, the famous 1955 doubled-die, and the 1958 doubled-die (which is extremely rare, but think positive!).There are norarities in these years in circulated condition.Unciculated dates before 1943 bring a decent return, however. Have fun, cherry-picking is fun.

 

Pick up the Guide Book (Red Book) and check for the better dates.

Add to the list the '44-D/S and '46-S/D. See a more exhaustive list of these "keepers," at www.coppercoins.com (...click "die variety search," fill in the year, check the boxes).

 

wheat cent

now wheat cent intrinsic value is only $0.011

 

You get a mixed bag of those together and any of us here will give you double that in a heartbeat.

 

Add 38-S/S to that, and the S/S/S

Basically, your better dates are 38-S,39-D,55-S

All the ideas offered above can overwhelm, but take your time, you might even have fun !!
