penny

The first ever mint year of the Indian Head Penny, the 1859 series fat cent. The button is likely from the same time period.

Hi, I found this cool dime with penny collar, anyone know if it's a dime on penny planchet error or what please?m

This image, I got from google, but I have one that I found last night, and while shining a flash light on it, there was a slight reddish-brownish tint to it, like it's reflective-ish. Does this penny have some sort of value, or is the color just from rust or oil? I can't tell, but it looks new-ish.

Like the 2004 Closed Am Penny, this one I also found (image from google) in my piggy bank, and it has a Closed AM, the labels FG is close to the edge of the bottom right corner of the memorial, and it has the mint label S on it. What's the value or does this not have a value because it's kinda new?

Ok, so this is like a normal penny, and I did get this image from google, but I found a 1974 Penny that has the mint label D on it, and the "In God We Trust" is cut in half at the very edge of the penny. So what is the value of this? Is it worth anything?

How much is this worth? I used images from google, but I have found these images in real life, and it's not exactly like the 1992 penny, but it's the same thing, just different year. So, what's the value of pennys that have the same print-mistake as the 1992, but different year?

I found this gear which seemed pretty substantial and when I cleaned it up, it appears to have leaves and letters. I have twisted and turned it in the light and it seems to say “ONE CENT” and have a wreath. The onverse is more difficult to see. My best guess is between 1796 and 1804 penny based...

Took a trip to downtown again. Got permission to do the front of a ‘58 townhome with a small yard and no grass. It was a good 2 hours. No silver though:(. All copper cents were found within and area of 5 in! I’ve never found that many coins in one spot before:o. I also found a few unique...

Just like the title said, I went out with my cousin to do some detecting at this house site by the tracks. We spent a couple of hours looking but with a combination of hard ground and there being so much metal, cans, and foils in the ground that my deus sounded like it was playing some...

Hi everyone, I found what seems to be a toasted old copper coin while metal detecting on a local Chesapeake bay beach here on the Eastern Shore of MD. The most I can make of it are some lines and what seems to be an "EOR' word fragment; this thing is worn down to a disc. In addition to pictures...

What's the scoop on collecting pennies, nickels as a hedge for if/when the economy collapses? I've heard copper pennies are worth much more than one cent. Nickels melt value is 4.7 cents. Anyone (else) hording these coins as a sort of poor-mans insurance policy? Looked for this discussion: If...

Was out with my 800 and 6" coil hunting the trashy park near my home. Was using park2 and testing my ability using the 800 to find good targets among the trash. I dug what I thought was a metal button. But cleaning out the dirt found it was a penny. In the same hole there was another target...

Is this common? I wouldn't know the term for what's going on Lincoln's head, but have I finally found something worth posting?

After months nose deep in coin gazing, I finally found a coin with an error. Anyone know how much they're worth?

I found this years back when I was able to metal Detect . Found it in a play ground in the sand . I know it's not that old , but just wonder why they were even made . They are the same as a regular size far as looks on both sides but very tiny . Sorry about such poor pictures . :BangHead:

Hi. I have found the following coins at various parks around my neighborhood: 1941 ×2, 1953, 1952 ×2, 1957 ×2, 1960, 1961 ×2, 1963, 1964 ×5, 1965 ×5, 1966 ×2, 1967 ×4, 1968 ×5. Excluding these I found a silver 1958 dime and a silver 1919 dime at a park that had quite a few 1950's and higher...

So I found this 1965 canadian penny... but what is wrong with it?! And error?! It looks almost fine on the front... but on the back it say liberty and has a curved dent in it! Could it be that a u.s. penny got pressed into it??? HELP ME!!!!

Hi, do you think I could sell this coin? It still has some nice shine to it. How much do you think it could sell for? Some people on ebay are selling less nice coins for 5 or more bucks. Thanks!

Hi, do you think I could sell this coin? It still has quite a bit of nice shine to it. What price should I ask? Should I sell on ebay or kijiji? Please answer if you know anything about this coin or if you have a suggestion. Thanks! Have a great day! :)

just got it in my pocket change today!! 2018

In my pocket change from a fast food restaurant!!! Are they rare???

So what actually happened to the 1815 large Cent penny? I have heard speculations that since the US was at war with Britain, (who was their main material supplier for coins) they could not get any shipments of copper to the US. Now I'm no historian, but there were other countries where the US...

Found this penny. I know that steel pennies stopped in 43, but the year on this one is 44. Is it possible that materials got mixed in the factory or something?

So this will come across as a stupid and dumb question, but i'm still learning the ropes and terms for coin hunting. Sorry! I see from time to time listings on ebay that claim the said coin is "first strike". What does this term mean????

So I found this penny coin roll hunting and im not sure whats wrong with it. it has no shine it has like a silver look to it not copper and the details seem to be lacking if anyone can tell me if this is an error penny that would be great thank you.

I was digging through some old coins in my house, when I came across this piece of work! From the looks of this coin it literally looks like a deformed coin. Now I want to know if it was done by the mint or by some deranged citizen. Also, if indeed it was mutilated by the mint, how much money...

I was just going over some of my dug coins and happened to notice that the greener the Indian Head cent, the less it weighs. I know the green doesn't really stand out in this pic the way it does while you are holding them in your hand. Anyway, the really green toned ones weigh as little as 2.7...

I remember buying a shake a the fast food place near my house, and I looked at what I got in my change very closely, and I did research on the high and small date for the 1970 penny. I think I might have gotten the all small date 1970. But not sure if it is double die observe as well?

Hi friends, Hope you all enjoyed the weekend. John and I metal detected for a couple of hours today, and found a few items. A gorgeous gold gilded flat button, nice musketball, an 1899 Indianhead penny, what looks like a shaving razor, and a cute buckle. We also found a bizarre piece of...

Not too long ago I was digging through my change and found what appears to be a misstricken penny. Just wanted to know everyone's thoughts and if it was worth being looked at. I believe its 1990. There is a gouge over the other 9 (or 7, which makes it copper). Leave a thought down below if you...

So far, being fairly new to this hobby, I have found quite a few pennies. Most are the 1982+ zinc-core copper-plated pennies, which I assume to generally have little value beyond their face value. I was wondering about the older brass pennies, up to 1982. I know that pennies went to being...

Yesterday, I looked through my fourth penny box and found my first IH. I was stoked! I also made a few other interesting finds. A 1957 Canadian cent in excellent condition and a 1976 capped die error, which I had to look up. It also has a line across the right side of Lincoln's face...any...

If I want to get rare and/or old coins from a bank what kinds of coins should I ask them for if I have 15 dollars? Should I ask for 15 dollars in quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies? Or just one type of coin? What kind of coin or combination of coins should I ask for with me having a fairly...

I have a very odd coin. It was found years ago, and I have been trying to figure out what it is and have had no luck. Hopefully someone here can help. Thank you in advance!

This post will double as my introduction. Hello. I'm a copper penny hoarder. I have enough experiance to be able to potentially give something back to the community but not enough so as to be unable to benefit from the wisdom and advice of others :notworthy: I built my own contraption years ago...

While rolling some pennies I discovered a 1904 Indian Head encrusted with some sort of gem looking object. I have no idea what it is but maybe some of you guys can help me out.

Hi there! First time here. I hope I came to the right place (and posted on the proper board). I just bought a 'lot' of 200 coins and found this 1981-S proof penny in the mix. I was hoping you guys could help me identify it for sure, if it's type 1 or 2. sorry I can't get better pics, I only...

Okay so I found a few pennies that I want to know about.. I have a 1992 with a 1980 something date stamped in Lincolns head... a 1994D with a warp or something.. & a 1977 with a smashed rim? I am basically looking for a second opinion on these before I send them in. Are they going to be worth...

Hello! I found this unusual wheat penny while I was CRH a while back. It looks crazy, the dye looks (how do I put this?) messed up and the coin seems to be faded some. I have a couple of pics of the penny. Sorry if these pics are bad!
