1700 Mostly AU/BU Lincoln Cents from the 1990s....What should I look for?

Dennis88

Paid $20 for about 1700 of these, most look fairly nice and didn't mind paying a small premium for something untouched for a decade (or so the seller claimed, who was not a collector).

What should I look for? I'd figured I would have a better shot at finding something in these than from miscellaneous roles from the bank.

I'll add to those excellent suggestions the following:

1990 DDO (pick-up point LIBERTY)
1996 DDO (pick-up point date)
1997 DDO (pick-up point earlobe)

Thanks guys

For the naysayers in this thread: I probably have better odds to get out $100 ahead with these pennies than when playing slots at the casino...and the worst thing I can lose is $3. Well that's definitely not going to kill me!

Don't worry... this naysayer also advises against slot machines

tahoe98

...i'd look at all of them closely. never know what could be discovered, whether it's known now or not.

Baley

the worst thing I can lose is $3

that's true, if you value your time at $0 per hour.

to get out $100 ahead with these pennies

back to point one: how many hours of your time will it take you to turn this into $100, if everything goes perfectly?

(btw, I really do hope you find some valuable coins and reply to this thread proving the naysayers wrong.. I'll eat my share of crow)

have fun, and

Bigrig52

Take them straught to the bank and cash them in.They have already been looked through.

Topdollarpaid

I would be looking for a bank to cash them in.

AUandAG

Look for some paper rolls to wrap them up in and return to the bank

Errors is about all I'd know to look for but I'm sure there are interesting
DDO's but that's an error, right?

When's this going to happen?
Not much copper in them thar coins anyway.
For those who put a price on the time spent looking through them, "Get out of the hobby, you'll lose to much $/time looking at coins."
