I also have about 4k in 82 cents alone, but i guess that will be another project
i see the 82 also doesnt state there is 7 diff varieties, copper, non copper, large n small date, smoething else?

Varieties Are The Spice Of LIFE and Thanks to Those who teach us what to search For.
I might want to add though that the 43 coppers are not just for the Philly mints; there are examples from all 3. Just a trivial note.
...thanks all. the list could use some more additions for sure but there's enough here to keep ya busy.
update it with 'new' discoveries but in the mean time don't strain your eyes roll searching.
And while we're at it 1927 ddo, 1935 ddo, 1936 ddo 1-3, 1946 inverted s, 1955 ddo#2.
The Lincoln cent series is chock full of varieties.

<< <i>Good list...but can't leave these out: 1980 ddo, 1982 ddo, 1983 ddo's 1-3, 1984 ddo#2, and my favorite 1996 doubled die obverse. All of these have significant doubling and can bring huge premiums.

...you're right, there are more that should go on the list. there will be more in the future too. will have to amend
the list from time to time.
...i think i saw that somewhere (CW or NN or coinage or coins or the numismatist) someplace! i'll try and find it.
It's an excellent idea and I definitely plan on referring to it on my next search.
You should totally edit this thread and include modern dimes, nickels, and quarters...could be the "Pocket Change Quick List" or "Piggy Bank Potential" thread or something
