Default anyone finding great lincolns

just curious to know because i roll hunt all the time i find stuff.
thats the best part of this hobby. you can allways find things you want
and need. just today i learned a thing or two about varieties. my friend
discovered a 2004 that had a extra bit to the columns on lincolns side.
i even found that he had pictured it so well that i can see whats up.
and try finding them now. best part is you can still find nice ones of
them untoned or not dirty. im going to rol hunt tomorrow and see if i
can get some san francisco mints or wheats or canadians or 20 or 2010
maybe some foreign stuff.

I did recently find an excellent 1909 S VDB, but not in a coin roll.
This came in an old Dansco album, which it was misplaced as a 1909 S.
Took to several dealers, who confirmed the date and authenticity. Sent
to PCGS, sent back as 1909 S authentic, but with an altered surface.
Still, sold for $705.

Yes and I found a MS70 1916D Merc dime in my breakfast cereal this morning,
complete with PCGS slab!
I took it to several dealers, who confirmed the date and authenticity.
I'm currently taking offers...

Actually, what he said is possible. My wife's cousin was recently
cleaning out her attic and found a bunch of coins that her father
presumably assembled in the late 50s to early 60s. She knows that I'm
into coins and sent them to me to look at. I estimate there is around
$5,000 to $6,000 worth of original, uncleaned stuff in old Whitman
folders including several tough date VF to AU Indian Head and Lincoln
Pennies, Buffs and Mercs, along with some really nice old type.
Admittedly, that is the exception rather than the rule, IMO.

ya know what i found recently a pretty high grade 1940 S my oldest S
mint from roll hunting im predicting this coin gets a 60 to a 65 in
grade but whatever it gets will be my first graded coin and not for sale
as it will be a free grade and my oldest S mint from a roll which is the
reason im grading it at all because its my best coin condition wise im
still new to this and havent bought keys just yet

Does anyone have a babble-sense to English converter? I'd really like to
read this post, but it's just gibberish as is.
