ddreisba New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 5:51 pm Very few of the pennies are pre-1920. A couple from 1930's. A large preponderance are from Philly. Is that because we lived 40 miles north of that city. The Merc dimes are largely from Philly. Some of them from the 1940's are one step below uncirc. Older ones are not in such good shape.

If I were you, I would not just unload them onto a bank or just anybody else until you have an idea of what you found. Your local coin shop would be a good start, just don't jump in on the first price you are given. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

My Wheat penny collection is somewhat dismal (not a single Philly). In Australia ebay sellers want $2-4 a penny, and that's not even rare dates or mints. I would provide a good home for any unwanted orphan wheat pennies that dealers don't want! Am sure shipping would be cheaper way than buying them from Australian sellers. Cheers My list of what I have is below: 1910 1911 S 1917 1918 1925 1926 1928 1929 1934 1935 1937 1937 S 1938 1939 1939 S 1940 S 1941 1941 S 1944 1944 D 1945 1946 1946 S 1950 D 1953 D 1954 S 1955 S 1958 D Edited by David Graham 07/10/2022 10:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 11:00 pm No problems though may take a while. I'm currently sorting another bunch of noodled bulk world coins which I do via country. I'm also starting to photograph some of the coins for Numista so taking a while. When I get to the good old old States I'll grab a snap. From memory, I actually found that little gem in a 10kg bag of world coins. I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of my wheat pennies have come from bulk world coin lots. As you can see, not many make an appearance so the 1911 S was a super find.

Just keep his coins separate forever so you will always have the memory with his specific coins.

ddreisba New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 5:46 pm To all who gave advice: Many thanks! My kids show no interest in coins. Not surprising, as they are getting married and trying to get established in careers. The coins I found in my father's desk were not meant to be a coin collection. Rather, it was a money collection that he and mom must have forgotten about. My father showed no interest in coins. He did leave me some stamps, a bunch of plate blocks. Report this Post to the Staff
