[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2013619, member: 15929"]Back in the 80's I made a conscious effort to collect uncirculated rolls of Lincoln Cents back to 1941 with the personal promise of purchasing an uncirculated roll of cents for each year and mintmark in the years to come. That target began to wane in the early 2000's and the proice of rolls from the 40's was beginning to be cost prohibitive when they actually came onto the market. As such, my "roll" collection only dipped back to 1946 with some holes up to 1956. Fighting off boredom in the hopes of creating some excitement, I decided to go through some of the older rolls of those coins. I normally dislike going through rolls of cents as the metal in the coins is so reactive and they are so danged small that I usually end up dropping 1 or 2 out of each roll searched. That can prove costly with uncirculated red cents. At any rate, to make a long story short, I was very excited and pleased to find the following in my roll of 1947's.

I found several RPM's as well but nothing of any real significance. BTW, these rolls were purchased from Virg Marshal out of Wymore Nebraska via ads posted in Coin World or Coinage, I forget which one.[/QUOTE]
