Hi,

I've been collecting coins and banknotes seriously for the past two years and not quite seriously for 30 years before that. I like to collect anything and everything, but being Canadian, I tend to have a soft spot for the home team.

As far as Lincoln cents are concerned, I've haven't actually paid much attention to them until a few days ago when I bought a tin of 2500 wheats. Now, I've been pouring over them and using this site as a guide. I even think I may have found a few minor varieties, but not knowing a lot about the subject I can't be totally sure I'm not seeing things :)

Anyway, thanks for the great resource and I'll be reading the forums heavily for the next few days!

Welcome to the LCR Forum and welcome to errror and variety collecting.

Looks like your not a wannabe any longer as all it takes is a " tin of wheats" and persistence. But watch out after your first nice find you may get hooked.

Welcome LordCo. It's nice to have some Royalty. Here is a site (http://www.coppercoins.com/)that may help you identify some of those varieties. Just click on the "die varieties search" button and enter the appropriate info and click "search" to locate your variety. I hope you learn much here on LCR.

Great. I had gone through about 1/4 of the wheats already... now I have to go back and start again, otherwise I'll always wonder what I missed. :)

And thanks to all of you for the welcome. If it's ok, perhaps I could post pics of some of my finds later and get some opinions/confirmations.

Of course it is OK. Let's see 'em.
