<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eskychess, post: 138357, member: 4692&quot;]I have been searching $50 bags of pennies from the bank for almost 8 months and nearly a quarter million now. The best I found up to date was a nice 1931 D and a 1969 S CUD that was quite nice. Then last week, I had a friend come over and we talked about coins and when I went to do my banking I decided I&#039;d do a bag of pennies for the weekend. Oh am I glad I did - I found a 1998 Wide AM right off the bat and then this baby - a 1984 Lincoln Double Die Obverse (double ear) error!!! I&#039;m generically grading the coin at MS 62 or 63 ... I&#039;m a pretty accurate grader, but don&#039;t hold my word for it. Attached is a picture of the error. Wow - this literally made my month! My kids want me to sell it - little do they know I almost paid $300 for one of these babies in mint condition! There is no way I can part with it - probably ever. I have a 1909 S VDB and a MS - 64 Flying Eagle penny I bought, but this 1984 Lincoln Double Ear is my absolute favorite, because I found it. Value is roughly $90-$150 I estimate and all I paid for it was a penny! hehehe Maybe not even that much, since the very first coin I pulled out of the bag was a dime! lol Seriously, the first coin I took out of the bag of pennies was a dime and I had to double check they didn&#039;t give me dimes by mistake. They didn&#039;t, but that bag was magical!! I also found 12 wheat pennies in that bag, which is below average, but several were old in the teens and the 1936 D might be AU condition. All I can say is what FOUNDINROLLS told me .... Study up so you know what you are looking for, but most importantly DO NOT GIVE UP. The coins will come, you just have to keep at it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care - Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
