I will attempt a long thread at #Saturdaynightcoinshow called

"Gambling on 1960 Lincoln Cents"

Stay tuned...

1. We must first truly understand the 1960 Lincoln cent before we go down this 🐇 hole. I have chosen a 2013 Article from @CoinWorld to get us started #Saturdaynightcoinshow

coinworld.com/news/precious-…

2. Confused yet? Let's get to the basic coins with no varieties. Plain Jane here we go. 1960 P Large Date, 1960 P Small Date, 1960 D Large Date, 1960 D Small Date for business strike only. Then there are proofs which I will not cover today. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

3. There are large and small dates for both Philadelphia & Denver mints in 1960. Now go back to the @CoinWorld article and you can see how a major variety of the small date over top of a large date is possible. Notice the D north of the primary mint mark? #Saturdaynightcoinshow

4. So there is the low hanging fruit for the 1960 Lincoln Cent. I will snag some YouTube videos now, and then we will jump into the rabbit hole to see if there is investment value to the 1960 Lincoln cent. You may be very surprised. Stay tuned...

5. I have chosen Blue Ridge Silver Hound to explain some of the varieties for the 1960 Lincoln cent. I recommend watching this video. You can find Blue at Coin Q&A live on Monday nights on YouTube. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

6. Here is USA Coin Book explaining the small date over the large date variety. Look at that price in MS65. I'm not sure if a 65 PCGS would realize that much but you get the idea. Another video then we will jump into the 🐇 hole. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

7. 1960 P Large Date Doubled Die Reverse. Not a single YouTube video on this variety. The 🗝️ pick up points I look for: Huge designer Initials, huge S in PLURIBUS. This is a fairly valuable variety. Via. Varietyvista.com #Saturdaynightcoinshow

8. Down the 🐇 hole. 1960 P Doubled Die Reverse. Fat FG, Huge S in PLURIBUS. Chuck at coppercoins.com captures the designers initials very well plus he has values for this coin. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

9. Down the 🐇 hole. 1960 D Large Date Doubled Die Obverse Triple Tail 9 Attribution is 1960-D DDO-003 at Variety Vista. The 🗝️ pick-up point I use here is the extra metal at K-11 on top of the "9" in the date. This is a 💰coin. #Saturdaynightcoinshow

10. Coppercoins.com 's version of the above coin with values. When you see this coin in person it's way better than what the pictures show. I found 7 of these DDOs in MS65+ in a tubed roll once.

11. Break time so I'm going to bring in my buddy and educator @hiphughes he'll take us back to 1960 for a history lesson about #JFK . Thanks Hip. 🤓

12. Halftime Show 1960 Billboard hit song. Stay tuned and we will continue down the 1960 Lincoln cent rabbit hole. Via. Youtube

13. Back to 1960 Philadelphia Large Date. I like this coin because it's easy to miss if you don't look in Lincoln's 👁️. Therefore they can be plentiful if you get lucky enough. Via. Variety Vista. I imagine it's a solid 10 to 12 bucks in 65.

14. Back to Denver 1960 Large Date. #Saturdaynightcoinshow @BargainBinBoy found a handful of these in a roll not too long ago. Not bad at $50 a pop. That's an amazing return on investment on a 3 to 5 dollar roll of coins. Via. Coppercoins.com

15. #Saturdaynightcoinshow I think we are starting to see that 1960 Lincoln cents pack a punch.💪 You won't find videos on the 🐇 hole coins because I don't know.... hasn't happened yet. Plus we haven't even covered the small dates yet. 🙄 I'll go as far as I can.

16. #Saturdaynightcoinshow did you know 1960 P and Denver both have BIE error varieties? Most collector's don't know this and they do carry a premium and more so in high grade. Via. Cuds-on-coins.com

17. 1960 D BIE errors. #Saturdaynightcoinshow these coins are some good ones to chase or 🍒 pick in slabs. Via. Cuds-on-coins.com check them out. 👁️👁️👁️👇

18. #Saturdaynightcoinshow the end is in sight. I will not cover 170+ RPMs but you can find them all at Coppercoins.com . Buying a used car in 1960 I bet was tough... Video via. Youtube.

19. #Saturdaynightcoinshow I was just at Coppercoins.com and Chuck has 204 RPMs listed for 1960 Denver Lincoln cents. This is one of my favorites. I will wrap this thread up with some of my own pictures that @BargainBinBoy and I found.

20. 1960 P Large Date Extra Eyelid and a 1960 D small date EIR variety kind of like a BIE but over 1 position.

21. My favorite 1960 D RPM
#Saturdaynightcoinshow

22. #Saturdaynightcoinshow some low hanging fruit. Small over large date and the elusive triple tail 9 which is very difficult to photograph. The picture does no justice. Stay tuned for some closing thoughts on this thread.

23. #Saturdaynightcoinshow tubed coin prices depending on your source. 1960 P L.D. 1-$3. 1960P S.D. $100-$200 a roll. 1960D L.D. 2-$5 1960D S.D 3-$7

24. #Saturdaynightcoinshow the 1960 Lincoln cent rabbit hole is so deep we nearly covered a sliver of it. I hope you enjoy the thread & yes 1960 Lincoln cents can be lucrative if you do your homework. I don't expect the roll prices to stay low for long. Lots of people R hunting.

The End.... Video via YouTube. Enjoy! Off to look at everyone's posts. 🥂😎
