i like collecting copper pennies because i set up a drawer @ the restaurant i work for and i get a nice handfull every time i get new change, which is a lot more than i can say for silver.

Newer to the forum than the hobby, but I found this very informative. Thanks to all who contributed and look forward to countless more info being absorbed through my computer screen.

Just saying as far as errors and varieties go, here are links to the two best sites on the internet for errors and varieties on Lincoln Cents:

Good information! I always learn something on these threads!

This is all great info - thanks!

Thanks RC community, for the information and tons of new bookmarks. I hope to start crackin' on a 5 gallon jug soonish...

I've been keeping my pre 82's, but am not expecting them to be able to be melted in my lifetime. That would imply logic being used, lol!
