Hello, i have inherited my father's coin collection and there's a lot of wheat pennies. Are they worth anything?
Also, I've been reading about error coins. I realize that they are extremely rare, but I don't know how to recognize them. Specifically when it says "wrong planchette" or stamped on a different coin. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!
Nice size error on the reverse of this key date. I’m having this one graded next week at the big show in Pittsburgh.
I am familiar enough with coin collecting to know the terminology, but still otally confused when it comes to differentiating between errors and their details. This is the one coin I haven't been able to get to clear answer from any AI or Google image search. The area where the mint mark should be it's just as confusing in person as it is in pictures. I've tried adjusting contrast and everything but I can't figure out if it's a partial letter or what, it is raised up.
Shocked to see a 1939 red or 29. Can't tell if real or not
Cool struck through grease error on a 1956 D
Last week I had 4 boxes with 17 enders. I opened everything but the ender rolls. If I include the end pennies I finished up with 222 total Wheaties. I don't think it was part of the batch from the week before because these were mostly 40's and 50's like usual.
Curious what grade you’d give this and how the verdigris would affect the grade/price.
Hi all, i've been hoarding these pennies since i was in elementary school, i knew something was special about old pennies, and I know i've got more laying around but I found this subreddit and decided i'd post what I had stored. Can anyone tell me if any one of these are worth anythjng?
The one at the very top is a 1946 and the bottom right is a 1911 if you can't read the dates. I doubt any of these are necessarily super special or expensive but I would very much appreciate some professional insight.
I got myself a 1931 s wheatie!! Lowest minted penny I have ever bought, price was 150$, hope the photos are not too bad…
I recently visited a big coin shop where i wanted to buy some american coins to take home from my vacation. Found those in a big jar full of Wheaties, paid 4$ for all of them, 18$ for the Indian Heads and really like them. Searched a few rolls of customer wrapped pennies already but didnt had the luck to find one myself yet.
Is this a 1919 S or 1949 S?
1944 S
1945 S
1947 S
1952 D
1955 D
1956 D
1957 D
1958 D
Amusing rapid tilt in my casual US 20th Century side-collecting. As a lifelong New York resident, most common circulating coins I find are Philadelphia, and I had found and kept 3x 1943 -P Zinc/Steel "Steelies" cents. (Steelies are very common.) So, talking to a neighbor, and she said, "Thanks for [a chore I did], Dad had these, I know you like coins!" and gave me an envelope with 10 Steelies -- 4xD and 6xS . We rarely see 20th Century D and especially S in New York. Turns out she had lived in Central California in early 60s as a kid. So, my casual set-aside Steelie set now covers all the mints just for taking out a heavy garbage bag! Now the challenge of picking best 3 examples for flips! None are great.
I had two boxes last week that had 7 wheat enders and ended up yielding 105 total, with most being pre-1940, and one IndianHead. I ordered 8 more boxes from the same bank this week, splitting it up between two different branches. The four that I picked up the first day had 4 wheat enders, and the four from yesterday had 17 enders, 8 from one box. With any luck they are part of the same batch from last week and I get some early years.
