@pige, many of us have collecting interests outside of coins, but please try to restrict your threads here to numismatics. Thx.

The subforum linked below is a better spot for those other discussions:

Copy that spence.

The 1982 small date S mint mark is the next target but I have not heard from justin since he went back to China. I would ask my friend billy if he could get it copied and tell me where I can buy it but he's in the Navy and would never nor would I if I was still government property. It would be nice if the guy or gal who got the 1917 matte finish proof cent the only one in existence would make copies so I could have one for my collection. And no I did not send anything those were free gifts to some one with special interests and the aluminum 1974's were play money included with jax the game where you spin all the jax and try to pick up all the coins before they stop spinning. The 1856 small dates never were real in my oppinion or show me some documentation of their existence and justin got copies of play money not the original ben franklin play money as ben franklin doesn't produce coins and has been out of business for years they were a hobby shop in the 1980's. copies of play money were created on the haas machine in college. Just realize if you read the april 1944 ANA publication of the numistmatist it tells you about fakes the government made.

No the coin I displayed the 1983 was not from China from my understanding but it does not make that idea unlaudable because it came from change and in all honesty I don't know! I do know that the tokens sent to China have always been not real money and the 1856 small date is over 100 years old and protected as an antique. If you have a Penn state library access or access you could probably find documents on Levi McCormick keep in mind I only listened to word of mouth because I'm like a begger trying to get what ever he can find to keep collecting. Because what happens when you collect a whole series you need something else to ooo and ah over. Any who show me some cool 1983's

more 1983's where are the double die S mint marks? here's a none rare 1983 but cool double die any way even though numbers in North Hero VT and Albany New York are very high for this variety in private collections.

I appreciate you all! Thanks for the clue about needing a specific gravity test. My cousin and I will hop on the bike and head down to the town with the real test and I will be prepared to pay good money just to solve my frustration's what is this thing that is only valued at one one hundredth of a cent no doubt about that all pennies are just worth one cent! Don't give up collecting folks please! I don't want to decommission the cent and pay minimum 5% interest! Stay safe and keep your eyes pealed because as far as I am concerned one in the hand is worth more then two in the nest and the more the merrier.
I got to go butcher some turkeys here soon and just a heads up I found a 1922 looks like no D but catch you on the flip side on a new topic. Happy coin roll hunting and God Bless you!

@Pigeonman333rd

First who it is Justin I have no idea. But on Ali BABA you can not buy reproductions, they already has fiscal problems and will not play dirty games. And this it is because the Chinese low forbidding any reproductions of legal tender sail out side of China or export (how you want to take).

I have done my courses in Beijing 6 months and 3 months second level for fake stamps, coins and banknotes, and I can tell you you can not have from Museum or form Legal printer or Mint.

Was a time when those fakes come here by individuals who risks 10 years strait in jail, and believe me the Chinese authorities do not discuss to much on this issue.

Other think it is majority of those fake come today from Indonesia and Philippines. Back in 80's the Serbians also do for 1909-S, 1914-D and 1922.

Hope this will clarify your mind.

Is this post the longest sentence ever posted on CCF? I believe it is. Somehow I got lost in it and can't figure the point out.
