    Just started on this sack of copper Lincoln Memorials that I bought off EBAY. Let’s see what pops up. Heavy duty machine doubling @paddyman98 ?

    Now you've got me wondering if I should start looking through the 20,000+ cents I have put away in a bag. Problem is that I don't have a clue what to look for.

    Wait.... people buy copper memorials? Like, for a premium? I think I know my next business venture.

    Look on e-Bay. Haven't looked recently but they used to be common when copper was more valuable.

    Yeah I posted the other day A 5000 coin sack that I got for $.0015 over face delivered. I’m know the seller lost money the shipping was over $17.00. Hand sorted in the Eighties before the error craze so I’m not expecting any 1960’s or the likes but I’m thinking errors galore!

    @ken454 im pretty sure paddy knew that was tongue in cheek. I know what I got thanks for your help though. That coin was out of the first 30 or so I pulled from the sack. It’s the nicest MD I’ve pulled in awhile. Show me yours you found from raw bulk hunting lately and then you can make comments about my little MD coin. Anyways this is just the start of a year of bank box and bulk hunting so I’m sure I’ll look at a few more than 5k by years end. If you look at my Avatar that’s 7500 or so from Oct to Dec 2017 yah I just finished up a bunch and I bought some more, that’s how it works for me been doing it that way for awhile now. Back in 1968 I could only afford about 4 boxes a year so not so many back then!

    I’m sure @paddyman98 has a name for that kind of doubling! I wouldn’t normally photo MD errors either but this MD is a superb example with the doubling almost visible to the naked eye. Well not my naked eye maybe!

    I’m going to post coins I find but I’m going to have fun also so let’s have some fun and not argue! Enjoy my tread.

    God I love living in Seattle! I used to see these guys all the time during the Seventies and Eighties but not so much anymore.
