Nice shield design but just more crappy ,worthless zinc to have to dig up to get to some good stuff .

 

[jcooking]

What a waste!! Lets spend money on useless coins that cost more to produce than face value. Hmmmmm....... lets keep digging that government debt with dumb projects like new pennies, way to go Washington!!

 

[maddog]

More zincolins for the future.

 

[ELVISFAN]

YES I HAVE A WHOLE ROLL..

 

[allen]

im going to experiment on this coin by placing it
in a flower pot with regular soil to see how long it
takes before it deterriorates.
any guesses on how long it will take ?

8 years and 4 months

I found one of those a few days ago. the first time I seen them. Didnt they just get done making three new designs on the pennies here recently? I kinda agree.... pointless..

 

[bazinga]

4 hours.

Please don't take a brand new 2010 penny and ruin it in the dirt. That's what those shiny 2008 pennies are for. Instead, put it in a 2x2 cardboard holder and give it to some kid. Tell him they are rare. He won't know the difference and you'll make his day. That's what I do for my kids and my nephews. They love their crazy uncle that gives them rare coins. Of course, they especially love the buffalo nickels, liberty nickels, indian heads, and mercury dimes. But the occasional penny that looks different is always appreciated. And it costs you nothing to do.

I got 2 rolls, they're great looking coins. they recently finished the 2009 Lincoln memorial cent series. That was 4 different designs. Have you found any of them in circulation?

 

[rogues71]

yeah i got a roll of each 2009 design put away and a roll of the 2010 shield stashed as well. as far as it being in the dirt i am guessing on 6 years 3 months 5 days 16 hours 25 minutes 22 seconds.

A good suggestion, thank you !!!
I'll use one of the 2008 and something like a 1964 to compare them !

I found about five of them in a totlot this weekend.

They were laying just under the wood chips by the swing. What amazed me was that these pennies
looked like they had been buried for 6 years.

If these things ever get buried they will probably dissolve like a vitamin in about a week

 

[Treasure $ Trekkies]

It ant worth two cents!!

 

[Chug And Red]

Dirt sounds like a great idea for the test but i would try river sand, the coins i find in the sand around here are a lot worse than theones in soil !!!! just add water once in a while!!!!

Not to my knowledge, great fines.
Like how I spelled that?
