<p>[QUOTE="lonegunlawyer, post: 1548072, member: 40282"]First, the book is great, but it only lists a few varieties. The first volume covers half cents through buffalo nickels. I was a bit disappointed that it did not cover more Lincolns (and then only up through 2001). With that said, it is still a valuable addition to my numismatic library. If you order through Amazon it is like $27 as compared to the $40 list (also there is a link through CoinTalk that you can go through that will benefit the site).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really want to see almost 3,000 varieties of Lincolns, then check out coppercoins.com. Also, lincolncentresource.com is very good.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOW, about all those cents you will have left over. Above all, you want to be courteous. Some banks do not mind if you bring in a big jar of cents. However, what I do is re-roll them with a cheap counting machine you can buy at a hobby store or office supply store. Then, I will spend some (I usually buy an 85 cent drink M-F and that is 2 rolls right there). I have had places thank me for spending a roll or two of pennies because it gives them change. The majority I take back to the bank, at least a different branch if not different bank, because when you order more, you do not want what you just gave back. You want coins that have been back to some larger fed bank for rolling (I also found a dime in one roll this weekend).</p><p><br /></p><p>Did I get to everything?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
