that is apparently irresistable.

I tend to think this way, too, Paul. I tend to think that something I

My stepfather bought an uncirculated roll of 1968-S Lincoln cents when
they were issued. This year and mint had the lowest mintage number of
any date from 1958 until the present, excluding proofs.

Today, these are worth less than the 1968-P cents which had five times
the mintage numbers, and they are worth about the same as any of the
later common dates. Were the 1968-P's melted down or something??

they'll be worth something".
