Coins I Like Regardless Of Value

yes my 1943-d tin cent is attracted to a magnet however I do believe it is tin entirely on the weight of the cent however I have no proof. If this is just a thin cent no sweat off my back I just like it for its collectable value it is intrinsic because I found it. If every coin had to be genuine or have a fallacious dollar value even though every one knows a cent is worth just that one cent then what fun is their in collecting? I have a good growing hoard of wheat cents some in cases some in rolls by date and some in jars and boxes and many varying conditions. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt and when something seems unusual I can't help but keep it! For example my 1983 2.99 gram cent regardless of what people think I cherish that coin so much I am trying to complete a set from 1959-1983 all the same weight and now I have about 20 coins including one 1959-d and one 1982-d large date. To me the authenticity is insignificant because it's hard to prove a full sett is ingenuine and by the end of my life hopefully my collection will be complete 1959-1983 all 2.99-3 gram weight. I had an old scale that was 1000g tolerance and now have 100 gram tolerance and on the 100 the coins weigh 3 grams even but on the 1000 they weigh 2.99 grams. The 1959-d wheat back at least the one I'm willing to show here is 3.1 g however with time I hope to find a 2.99g-3g weight 1959-d wheat back cent to be included with my 1959-1983 2.99g-3g weight set. Some of my other favorites include a 1998-d Wide AM cent and a 1999-d Wide AM cent.

what's wrong with these post ? common

It is NOT tin - it is a steel cent. The United States has never minted tin coins, except for including tin in the alloy for copper coins from1864 - 1962.


To repeat: there are NO genuine 1959 wheat cents. The only place you will "find" one is on the Forty Thieves web site.

that looks like some neat clashing on that 43-D

hondo bogus you say their is no tin cent! Have you read this?
