New to coin collecting!

[maeli]

Hello forum members!

I have been saving coins for more than 15 years. I recently started checking the coins and I think I've found some.
But before I do something I need opinions.

 

[Esclav23]

Opinions on what?

 

[SkaBa]

Unsure on what info you are seeking.

I think if it rains you should try to stay dry!!!! Just my opinion!!!!!!!

 

[Anduril]

It would help to know what you want opinions on.
Well, that's my $0.02 anyway.

 

[Icewing]

Yep you found a wheat penny and a memorial penny.

 

[sprailroad]

Opinion? Well, one is a Lincoln memorial cent, after 1958, and one is a Lincoln wheatback cent, before 1959. Just an opinion.

Wheat penny's (pic 2) are collectible, newer cents like the memorial penny in pic 1 aren't. If you are also thinking about collecting silver coins, then look for quarter and dimes minted before 1964.

To start what Susan said if a great way to begin also you might want to get a coin price book also will help you, Older coins are generally the ones people seek silver and many wheat cents have key dates. Like I said get a coin price book and do some research. I'm sorry about the joking comment I kinda thought you were kidding around from the way your post wasn't very specific.If you find some coins you have questions about were always here to help......

I would bet that is a 1958.......I have found dead more of those than any other dates. How about a game of guess the date?

Fairly good imaging and lighting. The images do appear to be a bit pixilated so I assume you zoomed in on a smaller image. Better to use as much macro on the camera as you can rather than try and enlarge smaller images.

I'll go with 1956-D and a 1983.

1974 and the most found wheat penny of all time 1945

 

[coinsareawesome]

I would say 1975 and 1940.
