<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 394434, member: 12159&quot;]<b>Really really budgood bags of coins</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not going to bore you again with the 1922 plain Lincoln I found in a budgood goody bag. Instead, I am going to list a few of the other coins I found... er, were put in the bag...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One three piece set of beautiful 43 Lincolns in a Capitol holder.</p><p>A couple dozen steel cents in various grades and conditions.</p><p>One 194? Merc, one 1950d Roosevelt.</p><p>More than a dozen IHC, most in very good condition. I am not formally collecting IHC&#039;s, but there is quite nice range of dates... so I will begin collecting them soon as I get a nice display album.</p><p>Two 1853 3c coins.</p><p>One 1867 3c and one 1873 3c pieces.</p><p>An 1862 and an 1864 IHC of copper-nickel with wreath reverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One unknown year IHC which has numbers stamped on both sides.</p><p>Obverse had three 2&#039;s, and reverse has one 1, three 2&#039;s, one 3, two 4&#039;s, two 5&#039;s, one 8, and one 9. For the life of me I cannot figure out why this coin was so abused. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One blank copper cent planchet.</p><p>One 50% off center 1974d Lincoln. (I think this error has a different name than &#039;off-center&#039;).</p><p>One 1951d Lincoln with a very large 0 (zero) stamped on obverse just above Liberty.</p><p>One 1943 steel wheat that has an extended edge which I have not been able to identify with certainty. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One old ancient coin, or a copy... as far as I can determine it has Jupiter standing holding a victory scepter on one side and Carus Antoninanus on the other side. It is a wide oval shape and is about 21mm across the widest point. This coin caused me to do some heavy duty searching on the ancient coin forums. I can tell you that most of the coins made a great impression on me. Very nice. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Okay, so we have the unusual coins accounted for. There is also:</p><p>One 1956D-1MM-001. (verified by Tom Miller of RPM fame).</p><p>One 1956D-1MM-003 D/D North. (also verified by Tom Miller).</p><p>One 1948D-1MM-005 (not verified)</p><p>One 1953D-1MM-001 D/D West (not verified)</p><p>One 1957D possibly a Coneca RPM # 001 (not verified)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Two marvelous 1909 VDB&#039;s, and many more in various grades.</p><p>Many other teen dates in various conditions.</p><p>A 1912D good enough for my album.</p><p>One old bank roll of 1957D bu Lincolns.</p><p>One old bank roll of 1955D bu Lincolns.</p><p>And a great number of 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s Lincolns. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This bag might keep me busy for many months to come as I recheck each and every coin for keepers. </p><p>But, of course, I will gladly get another bag whenever it is offered.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tnank you again budgood! And thank Arizona for talking me into the transaction. He can be relentless...</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
