Auction? Why would you auction off three coins with a value of 20 cents total for all three?

Post mint damage. Not worth auctioning. In future posts, please only one coin per thread. Thanks.  |

These appear to be badly damaged common date coins. I see no value here - why/how are you going to auction them?

Nothing special.
Steel cents with wear and environmental damage.

Hardly worth over face value, if that.

Your coins are worth 5 to 20 cents for all of them. If you sell them for more than that, then you are doing wrong to uneducated buyer, which is not a nice thing to do. I am not saying you would but please do the right thing and collect and sell with honor and keep a good reputation.

They are very cool finds in pocket change and dont come across them very often. There are high condition examples that get graded and can sell for good amounts far beyond what is shown here in this link, but your typical circulated example is common so the value isn't very high so no reason to auction or grade. See this link for some general info on the 1943 cents. https://www.coinstudy.com/1943-penny-value.htmlNearly all pennies from 1943 are supposed to be steel cents. However: A small number of copper planchets were left over from 1942 and were used in 1943 during the transition to steel planchets. These are the super valuable ones and why there is so much attention on that year, otherwise the Mint struck over a billion of these steel cents that came to be known as "steelies", which included 684,628,670 from the Philadelphia Mint, 217,660,000 from the Denver Mint and 191,550,000 from the San Francisco Mint. Condition plays a large part as with all coins, with mainly the top condition having a decent to high value (after paying the grading fees and placed into a graded holder) and the general circulated ones not much value. There are also many third parties replating these old cents to look good, which may be cool to have but does not increase its value beyond 1c unless some collector feels like paying more because they like plated cents look vs an original but dealers will not pay a premium. https://coinweek.com/us-coins/every...opper-penny/ |
