That more than a few make sure to check those 1955's it could happen

 

Wholly Toledo Captain , that's a lot ! Any good one's yet ? Nice finds .

 

love that chocolatey goodness

 

Not really 1919,lots of 1940 to 1949.1955 with a bit of red.these are all D mint.

 

Aww , better than nothing .

 

Fun keep your eyes out for RPM's.

 

I don't have microscope.just a 4.00 magnifying glass.rpm not so much.

 

The TPG's use 4-7x magnification for initial grading and only go to the big guns if there is anything major to look for. You should be able to see RPM's easily enough with your 4 x glass. a 30x Loupe, which are pretty cheap these days will help if you're looking for Doubled Dies etc

 

I'm watching for them too.i don't pay much attention to double dies.i read lots of comments here,these lincoln pennies are cool.i bought these knowing nothing .still learning.

 

Keep an eye out for the 1955 Doubled Die Obverse

 

After searching about 2 tons of pennies 5 years ago I have about 50 pounds of wheats.
Someday I’ll separate them by year and search for doubled dies.
Someday I may run for Congress.
Someday

 

I use a 4X loupe. It is plenty when looking for RPM's even most DD's.
No need to go past a 10X. You will start seeing things that really are not there.
Here is a good reference page for rpm's and Doubled dies.
