    At my favorite coin shop about 3 years ago, I was reluctant enough to stumble upon a few mint sewn bags of lincoln cents. One was 1969 San Fransisco Mint the other from 1968 San Fransisco Mint (Still Available). I payed $80 for the bag went home, cut it open and searched through a bit less than half the bag. 50% of what i found was RPM and/or Machine(or Rotated Hub) Doubled Dies Obv. The other, Id say 3000, cents have been untouched and sitting in a trunk in our back room still in the mint bag.
    What are the chances of finding the good one? What are the chances of not finding it?
    If it is in there, I might add that all coins are gem sparkling red with impeccable mint luster. No less than MS65 on most pieces without a doubt!
