[QUOTE="Dollar1948, post: 805806, member: 17239"]Hi Im a Canadian but made a decision a couple years back to put my Canadian collection of hiatus, and start collecting circulated Lincoln Cents, all mint marks. After a year of that I changed this collection and have upgraded them to BU Red examples, all in airtites. Instead of tossing the Brwn cents into circulation I kept them all, and last month I bought The Cherry Pickers Guide from Amazon and thought it would be fun to go through them all and see what i got. I must have went through, approx 300 circulated brwns thus far, and would you believe I only found I cent that had any doubling, that was listed in the guide. Minimal value. I have 2 questions. 1. The fact I basically found none, does this really represent reality? For the most part, are these doubled cents really rare? 2. I only louped the cents that had a listing in the guide. Is there a chance there are others out there that never made the guide. 3. The book was published in 2009, and it only goes up to coins to 2000. Is that to suggest that there are no more doubled coins out there past this date? BTW, I got all the mint marks in BU RED from 1934-2009, and some sporadic 1909's-1919's, in which I still have to go through and check out as well.[/QUOTE]
