<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2014574, member: 15929&quot;]BonnieSue, 1955 was a banner year for Lincoln Cents and I expect that many, many people set aside uncirculated rolls of ANY 1955 Lincoln Cent. Occasionally, these saved coins find their way into circulation when it becomes more expensive to sell them than it does to spend them.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>Some side notes:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Old Coins do not necessarily mean Expensive or Valuable Coins.</p><p>2. Bright Shiny coins do not necessarily mean Expensive or Valuable Coins.</p><p>3. The amount made for every different kind of coin was not the same. As such, some are harder to find than others. For example, in 1964, the US Mint made 2.8 BILLION Nickels. In 1962 they made 378 MILLION Nickels yet both coins have the same relative value.</p><p>4. Coin Values are based upon supply and demand which basically means, if I have a coin where only 2 exist in the entire world, if nobody wants it, then its worth its face value. On the other hand, if I have a coin where 25,000 were made AND saved, yet, everybody wants one, then I have a coin with some value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome and keep looking.
