Poll Question:
Do you pull and keep separate the S-mint Memorial Lincolns you find? (1968-1974)
Personally, I have a labeled tube for each.

Yes I put them all in one container together.
This was as close as I could come to a description for my "system". I do keep all of those dates together in a jar, EXCEPT for the 1970S. I keep those separate in a small coin tube hoping that one day my eyes or someone else will tell me that I have found a 1970S Small Date that carries a premium.
I also keep the few S mint mark wheat cents separate from the regular wheat pennies that I find.
Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. |

| I hand sort. I might look for things like that when I open a fresh box, but after a while I am speed sorting and just straight up looking at dates. I have my 59-82 copper pile, I throw all my wheats in a bag and roll them when I get 50, and I put all my copper canadians in a bag as well. Other than that I dont really have a method to my madness. |

| I find so few 's' mints I can't justify a tube. |

It really depends. I hold the some that look stellar, but aside from BU LMC's what's the point to keep them outside the regular pile.

| I'Ve been sorting cents for the copper value. Are the S-mint memorial cents worth more? |

I do notice them however only the red ones get separated. The rest go in with the other coppers.

I grew up in Craigsville(Nicholas County) graduated from Richwood High School. Then I lived four years in Huntington while attending Marshall University; then Morgantown for 6 years for more school and some work in Fairmont. Now I am “back home” in beautiful Nicholas County living in Summersville.
Where are your ties located?

Nicholas is great - I've been on the lake. Family roots in Greenbrier Co mostly - I grew up in the Charleston area. Family farm in Summers also.

| I put all my S mints in a seperate container. When I looked through them about half of them are 1974. I too am a Mountianeer. Not from there, just went to school there. |

I keep all my AU/BU's together, unsearched so far. There may be a fair number of S mints in there, but I won't take the time to search them until I am no longer able to source boxes from the bank. However, I doubt that they will ever fetch much of a premium unless you have a full roll, at minimum.  |
Hoard now and hold on!
