Hello everyone, my name is Jon and I have a Lincoln Cent problem. :)
I started collecting coins when I got a "job" at a coin shop (I think I was 13... anyway) and it has been down hill since.
I tell you what, since moving to North Carolina from Minnesota I've been really bored. I've taken to buying boxes of cents from the local banks, sorting them, recording dates/mint marks and searching for varieties. I'm at 80K searched so far :tinysmile_hmm_t: (for some reason my wife says I'm OCD, but I keep telling her I'm OCO... who ever heard of an obsessive compulsive person being disorderly?!)
For the curious here are some of the better finds in the 80K coins:
3 - 2000 Wide AM
11 - 1998 Wide AM
2 - 1997 DDO (Ear)
2 - 1995 DDO
1 - 1994 DDR
1 - 1987 Struck through a fiber obverse(right on Abe's noggin)
2 - 1984 DDO (The minor version not the full lobe)
1 - 1984 Obverse CUD
2 - 1983 DDO (Minor varieties if I remember correctly)
1 - 1983 Obverse CUD
1 - 1983 Counter Clash (Extra Letters)
1 - 1981 Obverse CUD
Oldest being a 1906 Indian Head Cent
Plus 11 Dimes
Anyway I look forward to discussing Lincoln cent coins with you all very soon!
Thanks
Jon
