[QUOTE="kdizzler, post: 935815, member: 25664"]Just started collecting about 6 months ago, I usually just search rolls of Lincoln cents from the bank. One thing that's been bugging me is why are they're so many listed errors for P cents and hardly any from the Denver mint? I live near Seattle, WA and I'm mainly looking for the '83, '84, '88, '94, - '07 errors. However my ratio of finding denver mintmarks to finding p mintmarks is about 10-1. So for example every ten 1983-D that I find, I'll find one 1983. Based on that, my chances of finding any of those errors are slim to none, which kind of discourages me. I guess what I'm asking is people that live on the west coast how do you acquire coins? I've been to a few local shops but they never have BU rolls with P mintmarks. Is eBay my only option or should I stick with roll searching and hope to get lucky? Thanks for your input.[/QUOTE]
