Hey Jack, check online resources that you know are reliable. Try error-ref.com. Take it to a coin dealer that has good knowledge of the minting process and knows errors and varieties. Good luck!
I inherited some pennies from my Dad, like 39 years ago (and just kept them around because they are cool). anyway, I just clicked on for fun, and noticed the 1944 at the end. I have (4) 1944 but no s underneath. they are blank under the 1944, and look to be just plain copper. a couple of them have some old glue on the back.
well, I got the glue off and they are in excellent condition, with the wheat head fans all in tact. AND FYI - for you collectors, I did it by soaking them in tap water, (just like you would dirty dishes), and once softened, I could then flake off the hard residue using my nails. but for these, I had to soak them for like days. and I don't know what kind of glue they had back then, but it was like some really hard clear epoxy, with some paper stuck on with it. the paper with the glue - probably saving the coins. - anyway, I hope this helps. coins hold history...and our the dates do mean a lot, in that respect. @@MintMiser
Great info 👍 I’m just starting out and sooooo much to learn 🤦♀️ thanks for your hard work to bring us these videos. 😊
There is a lot to learn and a lot of bad information out there. It’s a fun hobby though! Thank you and good luck.
Yo Mint. Good to see ya. Great content.
Hey Brother! Thanks!
I have a 1969S penny that looks like a double strike how can I confirm that this is real?

It’s always fun to look through old coins. 1944 Pennie’s are copper and the lack of mint mark means they were minted in Philadelphia. Thanks!
