Great find? 1783 penny

[TimZim]

Well I looked at my 36 lbs of odd coins from coin rolls hunting. And found a 1783 blunt rays nova colonial copper penny. I found one on ebay for $479 and my coin looks better! That's 233 years old.

It does sound like a rare find. Congrats!

Sadly, pics or it didnt happen...

Hearing about it is fine and all, but I agree - without seeing a pic it is difficult to get very excited.

Can't be positive, but my best guess would be it's a copy.

No its real my coin guy looked at it. They are hard to find. I looked in my 36 lbs of odd coins and found ? 30 silver coins. Some very old ones. Most were found in the coin counters at td bank. Thats when I was doing 40 to 90 boxes a week. I have about $230 dollars of coins from Canada. When I do trash jobs I do get some old coins and silver. I found $800 in a old pocketbook once. One time I found $750 of gold. Its all good!!!

Hey TimZim,

I was able to exchange rolled Canadian coins at Chase Bank for an even exchange. I only had about $40 in dimes and quarters but they exchanged it. I was able to get $40 US back.

Good Luck,

Let us know if they still do, if you give it a try.

Keep on Searching,
Dad and Tanner

I would still send it in to be graded and slabbed. Is your coin guy an expert on colonial coins? Honestly, not trying to rain on your parade, but only one way to be sure. I would want that coin slabbed anyway.

Concur. I didn't doubt for a minute that he found one, but it didn't really do anything for me. Seeing the pic however, got my blood pumping!

Get it graded and stabbed real nice. Instead of a flip
