I am also an amateur collector. Recently I searched through a box of pennies (cents) I bought from my credit union. I found a few 1962, 1963 and 1964 cents that were very 'proof-like' in appearance. I have a collection of Proof cents from 1950 onward and I use these as reference. Perhaps that is what you are seeing in your coin? I ask the community at large what is their experience in these specific dates as far as 'are there a lot of Proof coins in circulation' ???

As an amateur collector, I have 7 sets of Lincoln cents. I look through boxes of coins always looking to upgrade all the sets I maintain. I have plenty of time since I retired 10 years ago and this activity gives me something to do. Every so often I make some incredible finds!, but "you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince" !!
To me, that is what keeps me collecting. I also do nickels, dimes and quarters on a much smaller scale. It really isn't about the value, although I feel that I do have some very nice coins in my folders from my efforts.

Seven sets?! What kind of sets?
Searching coins will definitely keep you busy. Do you have pictures of some of your finds?
