      Did you ever sell it? Because I just found one a 1983 D brown copper cent mine is really beautiful to with a red oily type of reflection. I believe it’s possibly a high grade as well so I’m curious did you sell yours and how?

    I like to throw the coin in question up in the air and smack it like I'm Babe Ruth with a wood bat to hear what kind of sound it makes.
    The last one sounded like "if you hit another tenants car one more time testing coins then you're out of here buddy..."

    They are out there, and if you are hunting Wheaties; this is a year with all types of valuable varieties you want to search for; that being said, the more one develops an eye for the subtle key differences in a Copper and a Zinc penny; the more likely you will know when you see it, before you even go to weigh it- You will be bouncing it off your wood surface and listening for that high pitched ring... And trust me, you will know it is when you hear that sound!! I can tell you from experience, this year from hunting Lincoln Cents; and you will only find one of these; weather it be 1983, 82D small date, 1989, or a 90D....

    I was hooked up spending time checking each penny with my little microscope, and sorted them by year and minted State.Yesterday, 9/06/2018 I bought a box of Lincoln Penny ($25) from my bank. I found 23 Uncirculated Rolls 2018 that I did not open, and 6 1950's Leaf Pennies. I was hooked up on checking each penny under my little microscope and sorted them on small jelly botte. But I tell you guys I couldn't believed on what I found; 2 1983 (one with 3.12 gms, in very good condition, and one with 3.10gms almost at new condition. You could tell how excited I am but I do not know where to go from here to grade this pennies. Your help is very much appreciated.

    @brettbowcutt4464 Před 7 lety

    Went to a coin shop in my area and learned a lot about the forgeries in the 1943 S copper penny. When it comes to forgeries people are good. They alter a 42,45,48,49. A regular magnifier will not pick up the little details. you NEED a 10X, magnifier. And for less than 20.00 bucks you can save a lot of gas, time and embarrassment. And a 1914 D the top of the 4 is rounded if it's pointed, could be a altered 44. But then again a regular magnifier won't allow you to get close enough to see the top of the 4. That 10X WOW HAPPY NEW YEAR

I have found in that allot of the coins that are selling for insane amounts of money are just setting in my sox draw. What do I do if I would like to sell them? Do I have to be a coin dealer to get a coin graded? Where do I start?!

    Does anyone know if a 1980's penny without an "E" in E Pluribus Unum counts as an error?

  • @ep61611
    @ep61611 Před 8 lety +2

    I held a 1943 copper cent in my hand back around 1983. It was graded XF, mounted on a plaque and designated "finest known example" (at the time). The guy offered to sell it to me for $30,000, which is probably all it was worth at the time - I don't know, really. Since I couldn't afford to buy it, I never checked out the going price.
    This is when I first learned of the 1944 steel cents - the same thing happened as with the 43's, but in reverse. I've seen photos of a '44 steel, but never seen one in person (there was a 1943 copper/1944 steel combo for sale on ebay not long ago). Don't remember what they were asking, or for how much it sold (if it did).

    I just started going through saved change, so Far I have found what appears to be a 1983 small print and one that appears to be a large date print. They don't have a mint mark so I assume they are from Philadelphia. they both weigh over 3 grams and are circulated but in decent shape. Do the have any value or is it just the San Francisco mint mark.

    When I separate my clad from copper pennies I just drop them on a hard surface.... A copper penny or non clad coins will ring like a bell or chime. Clad coins will not.

    • @WingmanStudios
      @WingmanStudios Před 8 lety +3

      Any deal too good to be true probably is.
      1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1922, 1931-S. Double dies notable are 1917 and 1955, among others.
      Avoid cleaning or altering any coin, even a dirty or corroded one.
      Look out for transitional errors; in 1943 we made steel cents but some were accidentally made of copper, likewise in 1944 some were accidentally made of steel. Make sure to check the date very carefully of every steel cent you come across.
      Avoid buying "details" graded coins; they tend to not appreciate as well as numerical graded examples, and often are overpriced.
      Familiarize yourself with the Sheldon scale and PCGS photograde.
      Check the PCGS and NGC certification number on any coin you buy; it's free to do so.
      Quality over quantity.
      Get a quality jeweler's loupe, and keep a recording device with you at all times for legal/security reasons.
      If someone sells you a fake, make sure you have a receipt or other proof you got it from them.
      Take note that most counterfeits originate from China.
      Older collections aren't always necessarily real; many of the best Morgan dollar fakes were made 100+ years ago.
      Check any mintmark, or absence thereof (if it has significant bearing on the value of a coin, such as the 1922-No "D"), for tooling marks if someone removed the mintmark, or added one (such as the 1916-D Mercury dime).
      Hope that helps.

    What would a 1982 zinc/copper 2.53g go for

  • @thespanglishiconoclast7064

    So for two years now I've wondered what to do with a 2.9 gram 1983 penny I found when copper pennies weigh 3.1 gram and zinc pennies weigh 2.5 grams.
