Who knows about wheat pennies? I found 3 this weekend. Someone told me to look very closely at the 1942 because it might be worth a few $$. I looked it up and only found that there a handful of 1943's that are worth $$. Is there a rare 1942 that is out there?

 

[Simon1]

Or should I say, "most welcome?" What is the proper grammar?

I know you are NOT asking me
According to my wife...............her response to everything is " Whatever ". And to think her anniversary is only three days away, oh well..........Whatever.

I know that all of them are worth more than a penny. I think the lowest I saw listed was 3 cents. And yes there are a couple worth big bucks. Google wheat penny value... can’t remember which site but one shoes all valuable is coins.

Ughhhh typo time yet again. Shoes? Meant shows.

Not for sure but I believe the 44 copper in excellent shape is worth the money. I've got several 43's and 44's. I believe in 43 they went to steel because of the war. They needed the copper for tha war.

Yep Simon got the site I was talking about.

OK first... You are writing a book. You need to know proper grammar.

Second.... "her anniversary" shouldn't it be "our anniversary?"

Well, it could be worse. You should hear how my mom responds to my dad. I would call it verbal abuse, but I am prejudice because she talks to me that way also.

I plead the 5th and I am OLD remember ?

 

[WannaDig3687]

Thanks Simon!

Good morning Metalarch.

Well, nobody show that to MR WD!!!!

He had a couple jar fulls of wheaties.

Here's the scene: In the late 1980's our first Halloween in the home we just bought in this little rinky dink town. My first time buying candy for Beggar's night. We ran out of candy. I proceeded to give away handfulls of wheat pennies. I still catch crap over that one!

If we had met earlier, maybe it would be "Our" anniversary Sorry Sis, you walked into that one.

worth $1,700,000.

Well, that has skyrocketed. According to my 2017 red book, there was a recent sale for $200,000.00. There were less than 3 dozen that were accidentally struck on bronze or silver planchets in error, thus making them valuable.

 

[Simon1]

Time to call it a night friends. Thanks for the company, ( and pictures Sis ).

Goodnight
