Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 06:57 am Awesome toning. Love them all. Is there date doubling on any of the cents, cause a few of them sure looked like it may be? Report this Post to the Staff

appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 07:20 am Yeah there is date doubling on some of them,the last 2 ^^^ are pretty obvious. I've seen them listed as large cents quite a bit,not to often nowadays. Walter,Would these ones make RD. Funny looking obverse on the last one.

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 07:27 am Enwarb, anything in copper in the US and Canada are called cents or large cents. Our Brit counterparts can understand because they were of similar size before "New Pence" Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 08:29 am I reckon they would get a RD as well. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 09:04 am trout1105, While it is true that officially we have the "cent" most people still use the term "penny" in speaking. Commonly heard: "I save my pennies in a jar." "I used to collect pennies when I was younger. In writing, most small stores have a tray for "cents" on the counter: But the sign says, "Take a penny, leave a penny." Bottom line: When the dollar was adopted as the standard, the US switched from the British system to a decimal system and thus the word "cent," meaning 1/100, replaced the "penny."

MobOfRoos Pillar of the Community Australia 762 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 05:59 am I really miss the copper coins. They look so stunning when mint red. Even the 2c was a spectacular coin. Report this Post to the Staff
