[BuffaloBoy]

hi all, title of thread says it all, what errors do you look for in pennies? Here's what I look for:

1960d/d
1972 dbl die obv
1983 doubled "one cent"
1984 double ear
1992d close "AM"
1995 dbl die obv
1998 WAM
1999 WAM
2000 WAM

Are there dates I should not waste my time on? if there are dates you look for in errors, please specify the year and type of error, thanks!!!

I always keep thinking to myself whenever i buy a box of pennies... "I should search for errors, but which errors?"

I check the 2009 cents for doubled die reverses - there are dozens.

Sorry im no help but unless an error jumps out at me , i also wouldnt know what to look for. it doesnt help that many errors are ugly coins and lloking at them does nothing for me unlike silvers. Even proofs , gold plated halves and stamped coins are fun to find.

Here is a good link for Lincoln cent varieties and what to look for as well as values of the same.
http://www.lincolncentresource.com/index.html. One reason I don't search as many cents as i'd like to is because they take soooo long to look at with so many dates and varieties to look for, with many needing a loupe for inspection.

On a related note I picked these 6 coins up at a yardsale a couple weeks ago, $2 for the lot-

I only look at the 55's if I scoop out any wheats that turn out to be 55's for the DDO.
