coins1977 Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 9:21 pm More luck with wheats in this box. I finally got a book to start putting the pennies in and I have thousands of non-wheat to keep me busy selecting each year. Report this Post to the Staff

coins1977 Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 9:25 pm Images 1 & 5 show the 1919 (it's the upper right coin in each shot). It's in pretty good shape. Report this Post to the Staff

coins1977 Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 02:14 am What do you mean the coppers? I still have all of the other coins and will be going through them to pick the rest for my book. Report this Post to the Staff
coins1977 Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 09:10 am I guess I shouldn't be washing these. For some of them, the grime seems to make the features stand out. Do you think Dove dish soap and water with a little bit of finger rubbing? Or do I leave them as is? Report this Post to the Staff
highroller4321 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 10:10 am Coins Pre-1982 are 98% copper and are worth a little more than a penny! Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 10:35 pm Washing coins that you expect a numismatic value return on is not a good thing at all. Small factual correction - all cents 1963-1982 are 95% copper, 5% zinc - called brass. Prior to 1963 the 5% was a mixture of tin and zinc - called French bronze. This goes back to 1864 (with the exception of 1943) where the composition was changed from copper-nickel. And picking semantics....1962 actually has both brass and bronze, and 1982 has both brass and plated zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
highroller4321 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 11:01 pm Im looking strictly at melt value of the pre 1982 cents. I know this is a numismatic forum so that thought doesn't come to mind first, but thats what I ment about the pre 82 cents Report this Post to the Staff
