<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2965098, member: 31533"]Many years have errors. Some errors are specific to certain years and mint marks. Some errors are difficult for new people to spot. Make sure you learn the differences in the large and small dates for some years. Also learn transitional changes (usually on the reverse of Lincoln memorials). Learn Pick-up-points, such as a close AM for a number of later memorials also has a wide spacing for the FG initials near the memorial and the opposite is true for the Wide AM. If you come across any 1982D Small Date Cents, save them separately and later figure out if they are all zinc (probably will be, but one copper one has been found). The weight will be different. You can either then weigh them individually on a scale if you get one later, or you can do a popsicle stick scale test. You probably will not get a lot of these coins to test, but you might as well be considering it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
