billymac11 Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 10:25 am it'd be so hard to melt something like the 1909. There's always a home somewhere for these guys, someone will appreciate it on their own personal level. Report this Post to the Staff
Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 10:55 am Yea. I have a daughter, a de facto step-daughter, and what I would describe as a god-nephew who were all born in 2009. So I have three chances for one of them to think it's cool that the penny is 100 years older than them! Report this Post to the Staff

Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 12:00 pm I know. I'll be looking at the 09 copper sets, probably today. Let me know what you think of the coin when you get it! Report this Post to the Staff
tampabaygrampa Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 9:00 pm What do you do with pennies with some degree of verdigris? I segregate copper with any degree of verdigris because it spreads. They aren't worth the price and time of Verdi-Care. I have about 3000 wheat pennies that have that problem. They are just sitting in plastic bags waiting for me to decide what to do with them. Any reasonable suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff
Joecontois Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 10:54 pm Nice. I suppose it depends on your attachment to them and how much time you want to spend on them. My current opinion is to shed excess stuff so I'd roll them and try to sell them for a buck or two a roll. I'd set aside the better dates/mm's for someone still willing to pay a premium for them..

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 11:06 pm Joecontois I was just looking at some of my older nickels .. a few are not much better than the Lincolns you posted. I did the nickels years ago. Maybe it is something to do with what stage of collecting a collector is in. Or maybe something to do with availability of certain coins. I don't know where I would draw the line on keeping coins that have a lot of wear or damaged. I still feel if it is a coin that is common and not high priced, I would feel different than I would for keeping older classic coins. Report this Post to the Staff
