A few recent finds.. Sorry about the pics.! haven't had much time lately..
Anyhow, the first is a 1969s with slight rotation of the reverse die as seen in the pic.. Probably not enough rotation to command a premium.! But it is in decent condition & was a joy to find.. Second Lincoln is a 58 P.. Nothing unusual about this,except I was simply suprised to find it in such good condition from circulated bank roll... Ditto for the 83.! Most circulated 83's I find are a mess..
Last but not least (my Favorite) a 98 wide AM.. Been looking for this one a while.! Now if I can find the impossible 99 AM to complete the set.. LOL, needle in a hay stack comes to mind.!

Nice finds you have there!
Isn't it great to know that you can still find interesting varieties in pocket change? Relatively few people know that wide/narrow AMs exist and the majority of the public wouldn't believe that a "penny" can be quite valuable.
Keep us posted on any future finds!

To dealers they are just proof-BU- Or lower grade coins. Why? Because of the volume of coins they handle they don't have time to look at each coin individually. so they are one of the best sources to go to for "regular" coins. If you don't tell them, they will not be anything other than "regular" coins to them. You just need one of these to put in your collection.

Kind of like having the EYE in the cokkie jar. Let us know what you find. Almost all coinage has it little secret varieties.
Nice find Bobby. Find anything else interesting lately? I have. I guess I will need to start a new thread for it...... Only if any one want to see it though....
