The PCGS price guide says a 1961 in Grade 67 is worth $4500. Don't toss any of those.

Say what? This 56-year-old American has been using "cents" and "pennies" interchangeably all his life. And I've know a few thousand others who do the same. Exactly what I was just thinking.. If people don't call them pennies then why do I have to sort the UK pennies from US ones everyday on ebay haha. It's the bane of my life!! (Don't get me started on Australian pennies haha) |

US Cents are very much called Pennies. Not sure where you got that SSK.

Well, the official title is one cent; a quick look at the back of any United States cent will tell you that. However, people still call them pennies, probably more frequently than cent actually. Also, if you take the coin wrappers and Brinks boxes, they all call it the penny.  Edited by Rollsearcher37

Oh no, not the "Cent versus Penny" debate again!  Oh, and it is pence, not pennies.  |

They say penny because it is the jargon of most of America.
When talking numismatics, it is best to differentiate between cents and pence.

Oh, and it is pence, not pennies. Well, Mr. Knowitall, shouldn't it be pence in terms of value and pennies in terms of quantity? And as we're talking about what to do with a 'bunch of pennies', I'd say it was the correct term. Post script - I know sarcasm is hard to convey in text, that was all in jest  |

Touche.  In order to fan the flames, I will add that it does not say "nickel" on the five cent coin.  |

With my apologies, champco.  In effort to redeem myself, I will agree that you should definitely save the best examples. |

Walk into a bank and loudly ask for a roll of "cents", I dare you. LOL They will give you a roll of cents that says 'pennies' on it. No big deal. yes it is a cent, but almost everyone has called them pennies just about from the begining, no big thing. But if you ask the cost it is said as 26 cents not 26 pennies. In the UK it is one penny two pence, however, if you have two 1 penny coins you have two pennies that equal 2 pence. So, if you have a French 100 Franc gold coin with a nude with wings writing at a lecturn what is it commonly called? Oh yea, an angel, right? Except there is no angel on the coin. The figure represents a genius writing the constitution. So it should be nicknamed a French Genius, but it is called an angel... darn you, you darn equine, get up! |
