just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 6:07 pm First one is nice. Nothing special, just nice. Second one is just a coin. Third one shows you should stick to regular food and not chew on coins. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 9:04 pm The first one is a large date, so it's nothing special unless you save copper. The second one looks like it might be a genuine clip. I think I see just a hint of weakness at the rim directly across from the clip. This is called Blakesly effect. Would need larger pics to make a determination. The third one is PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 10:58 am All three should go back into your pocket and spend them when you need a few cents in change. In the state that it is in the 1970 large date has no premium over face value. The 1973 cent with a clip that is barely there doesn't have enough of a clip to keep it. The 1973-S looks like someone may have used it as a screwdriver and with that damage will never have any numismatic value. If you don't own a RedBook I would recommend you go out and buy one. It has a lot of useful information that you will find quite interesting. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff

Many people save all penny's from before 1982 since they have about 2.7 cents worth of copper in them. Easy to say but try to sell them for that. True a dealer may sell them for that, but the average person would find it a lot more difficult. Quote: Have the Red Book just don't give complete info Depends on what info your looking for. For example pages 413 to 417 shows a lot of types of error coins. Naturally to list every possible error coin would take a book about 5 feet thick. It attempts to give approximate coin values but is usually excessively high. And naturally can not have enough room to list every price of every grade. But for the coins shown here, would explain as much as possible. Except the one someone tried to eat. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 10:14 am Historical note: The first US postage stamps were issued in 5 and 10 cent denominations in 1847. When the rate was reduced to 3 cents a few years later, the 3 cent coin was issued to facilitate the purchase of these stamps. Also the $3.00 gold coin for a sheet of one hundred. http://www.coincommunity.com/us_gold_three_dollar/ Report this Post to the Staff

Steele Pillar of the Community United States 1119 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 12:02 am Carl- I hear ya on that. Trying to get anything more than a cent for them now is darn near impossible. Unless you have pounds and pounds and pounds of them. speculation tho Report this Post to the Staff
Trueth90 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 06:25 am Is there any reason to save all cents before 1982? Is it better trying to sell them in a bundle like that only or just deposit in your account? Report this Post to the Staff
