<p>[QUOTE="Tin_Man_0, post: 3443363, member: 100189"]I don't even know what a Red Book is. I do have a simple collection of pennies, mostly from circulation but all red or red brown. The objective being to collect all major varieties of Lincoln cents 1909 to 2019 in as brilliant as possible. I'm not willing to pay for a penny anything more than a penny. It kinda stops being a penny when you do that. So most of coins come from circulation but none the less I've been able to find lots of very clean still pristine condition. I haven't gotten to the way early years yet, and I'm sure those will be a real challenge finding in good condition circulated, but I'm in no hurry to finish that collection since I'm not having much luck with the minor varieties. Some of the minors are error, true, but there are lots that aren't and, really, I'm not really looking at so much that it's a minting error or not. Truth be told I am looking for valuable coins, the value of those coins goes hand in hand with the rarity and popularity of the coin. I do know that there's many other coins out there, such as just simply hunting for MS69 & 70 coins that will also make for some good finds, but those require a good amount of learning before I can effectively search and find that kind of coin. Errors are easy and popular and have the most value. That's where everyone's going to want to start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
