Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/10/2017 3:21 pm I don't know if the coins were uncirculated when they started out, but they look like they've been polished, ruining any numismatic value. To be honest, they were worth more when encased in the acrylic. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaiveson New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 04:26 am The two in the acrylic are still in the acrylic. I had one's that were struck perfect? so I chose to open that one because I wanted to actually see the what the coins looked like outside of it. I can try and take better pictures. Ive always had a fascination with old coins but now in my 30s ive taken more of a interest. Ive googled the 1959 lincoln head and I know its not as hot as the wheaties pennies but still, if theyre in that condition and authentic? I still think theyre interesting. Where could I go to get assistance with coins? Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 12:01 pm Jaiveson, welcome to the hobby. If you have any questions about coin collecting, you should browse the forum here, then ask any specific questions you have. There are a lot of error coin resources as well: http://www.error-ref.com/ http://doubleddie.com/ If you find an interest in a specific denomination, you can seek out a resource for that too. I like cents, and my go to resource for varieties there is http://coppercoins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
