mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 9:08 pm I've a penny folder I'm working on. I Also have a small hoard of all copper cents. In addition, I'm trying to assemble a continuous date of die cracks and other anomalies. I would like to collect key/semi-key dates but have yet to find even one. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 9:14 pm We've talked about the benefits and detriments of hoarding copper a few times previously, but it is a fun discussion. I personally don't stack copper cents.

chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 9:17 pm I have a Lincoln Cent collection that I'm quite proud of. I separate the wheats and memorials by date only (my rolls are mixed mint marks). I had my 2 Grand daughters start their own Lincoln Whitmans books.

CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 11/10/2023 07:59 am Wheat cents - spot check for date, otherwise all go into a Wheat cent only bag Copper cents - don't separate them anymore (used to, but found the weight to be an issue when I got to a certain point) A friend of mine has amassed a large copper cent hoard. I won't say the exact amount but let's just say he has to space them out in his basement to keep the foundation from cracking. It's a nice little amount in terms of face value, but the practicality of it doesn't seem to be there currently IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15396 Posts	Posted 11/10/2023 10:41 am I'm with the Frog on this one. I'll check Wheaties for key dates - but I've never found one. So I just spend them all. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2835 Posts	Posted 11/10/2023 1:01 pm Hoarded them for awhile but eventually ended up dumping them. However, if I find one in exceptional condition.... I will keep it. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1761 Posts	Posted 11/10/2023 1:40 pm Since we don't have them minted up here any more, none in circulation Quote: The final penny was minted at the RCM's Winnipeg, Manitoba, plant on the morning of May 4, 2012 .... it is no longer a problem for us to consider.

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 07:12 am I've been saving wheats for a couple decades, the commons I could sell today for at least 200% profit at LCS. Just recently started setting all coppers aside. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
