    Amazing. I have a friend that recently found a bunch of large pennies from the early-mid 1800's and one pretty worn 1809 half cent, wondering if they are worth anything....

  • @allenkistler3201
    @allenkistler3201 7 лет назад +1

    They are out there, and if you are hunting Wheaties; this is a year with all types of valuable varieties you want to search for; that being said, the more one develops an eye for the subtle key differences in a Copper and a Zinc penny; the more likely you will know when you see it, before you even go to weigh it- You will be bouncing it off your wood surface and listening for that high pitched ring... And trust me, you will know it is when you hear that sound!! I can tell you from experience, this year from hunting Lincoln Cents; and you will only find one of these; weather it be 1983, 82D small date, 1989, or a 90D....

      @amymakesbakescreates4559 4 года назад +1

      Did you ever sell it? Because I just found one a 1983 D brown copper cent mine is really beautiful to with a red oily type of reflection. I believe it’s possibly a high grade as well so I’m curious did you sell yours and how?

  • @dont.ripfuller6587
    @dont.ripfuller6587 2 года назад +1

    I like to throw the coin in question up in the air and smack it like I'm Babe Ruth with a wood bat to hear what kind of sound it makes.
    The last one sounded like "if you hit another tenants car one more time testing coins then you're out of here buddy..."

    Just started checkn' pennies a couple of months ago. I've learned so much, still very inexperienced, and have so many questions. I have alot of questions. I have found in that allot of the coins that are selling for insane amounts of money are just setting in my sox draw. What do I do if I would like to sell them? Do I have to be a coin dealer to get a coin graded? Where do I start?!

How do I go about selling it. I would rather keep the collection together but know nothing about auctions. Is there any advice you could give me?? Thank you for your time. Chanel

    Went to a coin shop in my area and learned a lot about the forgeries in the 1943 S copper penny. When it comes to forgeries people are good. They alter a 42,45,48,49. A regular magnifier will not pick up the little details. you NEED a 10X, magnifier. And for less than 20.00 bucks you can save a lot of gas, time and embarrassment. And a 1914 D the top of the 4 is rounded if it's pointed, could be a altered 44. But then again a regular magnifier won't allow you to get close enough to see the top of the 4. That 10X WOW HAPPY NEW YEAR

    I was hooked up spending time checking each penny with my little microscope, and sorted them by year and minted State.Yesterday, 9/06/2018 I bought a box of Lincoln Penny ($25) from my bank. I found 23 Uncirculated Rolls 2018 that I did not open, and 6 1950's Leaf Pennies. I was hooked up on checking each penny under my little microscope and sorted them on small jelly botte. But I tell you guys I couldn't believed on what I found; 2 1983 (one with 3.12 gms, in very good condition, and one with 3.10gms almost at new condition. You could tell how excited I am but I do not know where to go from here to grade this pennies. Your help is very much appreciated.

  • @ep61611
    @ep61611 8 лет назад +2

    I held a 1943 copper cent in my hand back around 1983. It was graded XF, mounted on a plaque and designated "finest known example" (at the time). The guy offered to sell it to me for $30,000, which is probably all it was worth at the time - I don't know, really. Since I couldn't afford to buy it, I never checked out the going price.
    This is when I first learned of the 1944 steel cents - the same thing happened as with the 43's, but in reverse. I've seen photos of a '44 steel, but never seen one in person (there was a 1943 copper/1944 steel combo for sale on ebay not long ago). Don't remember what they were asking, or for how much it sold (if it did).

    @jeffcox4026 7 лет назад

    I just started going through saved change, so Far I have found what appears to be a 1983 small print and one that appears to be a large date print. They don't have a mint mark so I assume they are from Philadelphia. they both weigh over 3 grams and are circulated but in decent shape. Do the have any value or is it just the San Francisco mint mark.

  • @Whiteweddingsinger

    When I separate my clad from copper pennies I just drop them on a hard surface.... A copper penny or non clad coins will ring like a bell or chime. Clad coins will not.

  • @allenkistler3201
    @allenkistler3201 7 лет назад

    I had to comment on this particular video of yours; because I know you are very much into the transitional mint errors, like myself; Having found a %95 Copper 1983p Lincoln Cent, I do believe they are very rare; Howevere, there are most likely a lot of these out there, people just don't pay attention to them or try to spot them....And on top of that, obviously not many people send them into Grading...

      You can have them weighed at your local post office. I think they will do it for free. it doesn't hurt to ask.
      Or you can order a small Digital Scale from ebay . (That's what I did) and weigh your own stuff. I bought mine when the gold was selling for the maximum amount. I remember I sold 2 grams for $135.00 at that time.

    I found a 1983 d mint penny weighing 2.8 g but testing 98% copper is it worth anything

    What would a 1944 or 1945 during the war time copper penny be worth?

    Good vid dude.Do you know about the 1965 silver quarter? Some 1965 quarters were struck on silver planchats intended for 1964.Worth about 7K!

      No proofs at that time were struck in silver. In fact, no Proofs were struck at all in 1965! The Mint produced "Special Mint Sets", sort of in-between uncirculated and Proof, but not quite either finish.
