Lincoln collectors, I just got a brick of mixed date Lincolns from the bank.

direwolf1972

Other than the obvious (95 DDO, and pre 1959) what should I look for before I roll them back up. I am just now starting on my first roll and could use any input.

Thanks

Pre 82 are all copper, you can't melt them now, but wouldn't be bad to hoard them. Wide AM 98-2000, 83 DDR off the top of my head.

Off the top of my head....

1960-D and 1961-D RPMs (they are legion)
1963-D DDO (3 over 3)
1968-D DDR (big spread on EPU)
1969-S and 1970-S DDO (hey, a guy has to dream)
1971 DDO (SW spread on LIBERTY and IN GOD)
1972 DDO (not just the big one)
1980 DDO (date and LIBERTY)
1982 DDO (IGWT)
1983 DDO (several, most show close spread on IGWT)
1983 DDR (the big one)
1984 DDO (both the doubled ear variety in the Red Book and Die #2, which shows on the date and LIBERTY)
1992 and 1992-D close AM
1994 DDR (extra columns in the memorial)
1995 DDO (several)
1995-D DDO (looks like an RPM)
1996 DDO (close on IGWT)
1998, 1999, and 2000 wide AM
2006 DDO (LIBERTY and the date)

I'm sure I'm still forgetting a few major ones, but again, that's off the top of my head. Since that should have you checking more than half of the coins with a loupe already, you might as well check the rest, maybe you can come up with a new variety altogether.

If you can get a copy of the Cherrypickers Guide Volume one the guide has many varieties and nice reference photos for all Lincolns.
