<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 25289416, member: 56869&quot;]I&#039;m a bit surprised that more people haven&#039;t responded to this thread. Surely, any roll searchers must find something worthwhile every now and then or they wouldn&#039;t keep searching. Well, I said in my first posting that I had another find that I would mention. It was a 1924-S Lincoln in AU+ condition. This is not a rare coin by any means and even today it isn&#039;t worth a lot, but I thought it was a nice coin when I found it and still think it is one of my better finds. For one thing, the coin is the Goiter Neck variety, which I believe was a Red Book variety back in the late 50s when I retrieved it from a bunch of rolls. Here&#039;s what David Lange wrote about the coin in his 1996 book, The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents: &quot;The only other variety known for this issue is the so-called &#039;goiter&#039; variety. This consists of a raised, bar-shaped lump at Lincoln&#039;s neck. . . . Attaining some popularity during the 1930s . . ., this variety reappeared in print sporadically through the mid 1960s, when interest in coin collecting in general began to wane. Today, it carries no premium value and is considered fairly common.&quot; The current wholesale value is $65, and its PCGS value is $85. Not bad for a penny, right? Of course, I&#039;ve had it for 64 years![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
