<p>[QUOTE="Copper56, post: 2612557, member: 74010"]I began hording Lincolns in the very late '50's. In the early to mid '60's I searched them for the tough ones to fill my Whitman album. Found them all. (Yes, later removed them) Didn't know about anomalies. After I returned from the Army I bought all 'wheat' cents that was offered. One purchase included a Radio Flyer wagon full and, in 1974, of 6 White House vinegar gallon jugs from an elderly relative who just got tired of them being in his way. He said he started saving them in the '30's. Anyway, I have what amounts to (by weight) 18+ bags. These were all saved and purchased prior to 1980. I have bought a few bags since but suspect they have been searched. Was going to have something to do when I retired. I've retired. And, as bad luck would have it, I can no longer see up close. I'm training my grand kids to help me. Right now they are sorting by date when they come visit. We have looked at some of the better years and together we have found three '31-S, One '09-S VDB, Two '09-S and One '14-D. Several of lesser rarity. '11-S, '24-D, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my advise would be to not wait until your eyes will no longer work with you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
