[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 406851, member: 12159"]That sure is a good place to start. I have to take a more aggressive approach because I shop very little and most of the coins I find in change seem to be ones I have already rejected and turned into the bank. We live in a very small town.. I am using both the Whitman folder and the W.E. Harris folder for the Lincolns I am collecting for my four grandkids. For my own collections I have invested in Dansco albums. I know others who do not like the Danscos and are using the Intercept brand. Or, like a lot of us who are stashing away the extras, cardboard flips seem to suffice for the ordinary coins. Then there capsules which can protect the coin better, but are more difficult to store... in my opinion. By the way, I would take a very close look at your 42d cent if it were mine. If I am not mistaken it could be an error coin, i.e., 1942D-1MM-002. Look it over carefully, if you see a small raised area shaped like the top of a 'D' just above the mint mark, then chances are it is this error variety. You can compare yours with the same type of coin by going to coppercoins.com ... it is a great site to check out Lincoln errors. All the others are really good. But that 1911 from pocket change? Wow! jeankay[/QUOTE]
