New User, New Collector - 15 years in banking handling coin/currency and ....

[Guest]

Hey y'all!

So I'm definitely a Newbie to the 100% addicting hobby known to most of y'all as coin collecting.

In my house it's called the "Mom's side of the bed was empty again" obsession. It helps that my all-nighters are during the daytime in the States!

Tonight's bout of insomnia brought to you by the seemingly MIA Lincoln on my 1990 Lincoln Memorial Penny.

I have been googling for 3 days on this penny (as well as a possible weird Ike variation) so I'll be posting pics to get y'alls opinion.

Please share your wisdom with me! I worked in financial institutions for over 15 years and have thought I had seen just about every possible variation of coins and bills... but alas I was extremely mistaken
