LivioRazlo New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 6:05 pm I recently found these beauties in my change jar while going through them. Coin collecting is a new hobby of mine since I started geocaching and wanted to know what these were. This one here I am certainly not sure of, but I would like to know what it is and also if there is any value to it. This one here, I know it is a steel penny, didn't know if it had any value to it either. Thank you for your time and expertise.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 6:24 pm I can't help you with the first coin. The Lincoln Cent is a zinc cent. The steelies were made in 1944. You can look up the value of US coins on Numismedia Fair Market Value. That will give an idea...but you would need to know the grade(condition). The cent is a little beat up and looks good to fair to me so I would guess it is worth about five or ten cents. Somebody will be along to tell you about the other coin soon, I hope.

Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 6:57 pm The 1943 Copper is more famous, and has a much high cost... The 1944 Steel is about the same rarity, but is much cheaper... Report this Post to the Staff
sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 12/18/2012 12:40 am Not much value here. The Greek 50 Lepta is copper/nickel. It may bring a few dollars, maybe less. The LHC, less than a dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
Roderick New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 03:18 am Since no one mentioned it, the portrait on the Greek coin is of Constantine II King of the Hellenes. He was deposed the following year, 1967. Report this Post to the Staff
