How much?

BTW, it's a CENT, not a penny.

 

YES! FINALLY! SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT!!!! PENNEYS ARE CANADIAN AND BRITISH!!!! BTW, nice cent!

 

Uh, Canada uses cents too, not pennies.

 

i stand corrected. Thank you.

 

Australia uses pennies though nice flying eagle

 

I got it for $12 and sorry 1857 cent

 

Good buy! Congrats

 

Thanks it my first one I wanna try to get a 1858 also the 1856 is way out of my price range lol

 

Quit being so anal. It's been called a "penny" for decades if not longer. It's a nickname. Get over it.

 

No, I'm pretty sure it's a penny. The word is the most common name for the coin, and even the wrappers read "50 pennies". An object can have more than one name.

 

For common use I agree.
But a numismatist should use the correct terms.

Such as:
-- it's a Doubled Die, not a Double Die
-- a cud HAS to involve the rim.
-- it's obverse and reverse, not front and back
Things like that.

 

Why does it matter to you?

 

I see nothing wrong with both terms.

 

The OP came here to show off the great new coin he bought. Just sayin'...

 

Correct. Now, lets stop this madness and get back on subject.

 

I'll give you my 2 cents worth if I can give you a penny for your thoughts.

Awesome coin...picked one up recently myself.

 

Thanks bdunnse but it don't matter anyway because I don't come on here anymore so you won't have to worry about the wrong terms because I got tired of all the whining and bitching about every little thing I found a different group where people are more respectful its not all of you some of you are pretty cool people and the only reason I'm on here now is my phone tells me when someone responds to a post of mine but like I said you won't have to worry about the wrong terms anymore which I'm sure none of you care anyways so nice knowing you all and farewell

 

Wish you the best. Have fun.
