    Just opened a mint bag of 68D Lincolns.
    Here are a first few of the coins that I pulled out.
    I don't have the luster right, but they are fully brilliant.
    There are a few so far that have a little bag toning. Here are the colors.

    Some with heavy die polishing in order to remove die clashing. The below is one that has very heavy abrasion. The strike and steps are about as good as it gets.

    Even a few that show an earlier die stage.
    The below 68 shows a slight separation of detail from IGWT to the rim, except the W. Maybe a little cameo look from this one.

    I am hoping to find a stronger reverse paired with the above coin.

    Meow would like to know how many pennies are in a bag? Where does one get these? And how much would it cost?

    All I can envision is a horse doing the math stamping it's hoof. :p
    A meow doing the math?
    $50 bag ÷ fifty cent rolls
    # rolls x fifty




    $50.00 ÷.01
    Cost??
    2x face? (seller would dictate the price)

    @Pickin and Grinin Your first photo of the reverse...is that part of a die clash in the last bay?

    Got them for I think 2 cents a piece years ago.
    Three 50$ bags for 300 I think.
    71D 63D and 68D

    I think that this one is just toning. If you are referring to the far-right bay.

    1968 and you just opened the mint bag. I thought I was bad. I have two from 1982 so thanks for making me feel better @Pickin and Grinin. Lol
