Dave,nice finds. Glad you got out and brought home some goodies. I think you meant a silver rosey, 1960, as Mercury dimes were produced only 1916 to 1945. Interesting Lincoln, that someone must've been bored and decided to kill some time and so defaced it..?..

Your right kschae4 I meant rosie.Found out you could buy these pennies in 1976 as souveniers.Now there out there for around 4 bucks.First gold penny I ever dug.

Yeah, most likely some sort of special Bicentennial penny...I found a gold plated Bicentennial JFK half a few years back and nearly messed myself...nice hunting there Dave!
