2008 Lincoln Cent Double Die? Please Help

Thanks.. yes, I know but my bank complains about the returning of the coins so, I just kinda have to eat the loss and now they're talking about having to charge me a fee per box.. I have to find another bank asap lol..

Coinstar charges 9.8% now.. yes, so "ouch" there on how much I run through there

 

Definitely pick up another bank. I'm not sure about Missouri, but around here (Greater Philly area) there's tons of banks to choose from, many of which will order me vast quantities of change for free as well as allow me to dump as much as I want... for free.

God, I love banks that are competing for business with one another.

 

RUB IT IN why don't cha!! lol.. this little small town doesn't have very many banks.. the biggest one is Citizens which is the one giving me all the grief. There's Kansas City but that's like a 2 hour drive..

 

Citizens? We have them around here, they never give me issues and I tend to get 2 boxes a week or so from them. Try going to a credit union or a local bank that has a few branches, I've found them very eager to please and will deal with a ton of "abuse" before they cut you off, haha. Major chain banks are starting to charge fees more and more these days...

 

Someone already mentioned Coppercoins.com, but if you are searching for varieties as you are, then I would also recommend:

www.varietyvista.com
www.doubleddie.com
http://www.dvnmagazine.com/
http://www.errorvariety.com/index.html

These are all great resources and will have some varieties that are unknown at coppercoins.

Just make sure they aren't the doubled master die. Probably more than half of all '72s from all mints exhibit this doubling. Interesting, but not worth a premium. You can see it here:

Two more great sites; especially for Lincolns:

Thanks jallengomez for the links! I have 6 boxes to go through this weekend ... I want the 1996 WAM!! has another one ever been found??

 

You just gave me some news...I wasn't aware of one being found. Where there's one, there's bound to be more though.

 

It's listed as too rare to price ..... oh how I wanna find one!! I know that will remove the "too rare to price" off it, but it would still be worth a bundle I'm sure..

 

The only example known mysteriously vanished before any experts could look at it, so its speculated to not actually exist.

 

are you serious!! I thought it got sent away to verify it! it was found by Billy Crawford.. oh come on Merc!! you're killing me here!
lol
here's a link to read about it:

Hmm maybe it does exist, what I heard was from another forum member here, so....

Add it to the list, I suppose.

 

I'm not the type to point out "I'm wrong you're wrong" lol BUT my error guide book does show the error and that it exists! hehe... *doing a little dance* -- kidding..
