Those are really nice 09's. My best is a VDB in EF. My VDBs were found roll hunting. My plains I bought for a buck each from a bargain bin - they're in good and fine condition.

 

I made an goof on the first cent reverse.
Here it is corrected...

 

BAH! Another mistake on their part, they just don't fit the model of they want in their slabs. These look market acceptable to me.

Time to get CRACKIN!

 

gorgeous 09er!!!

 

Phone camera but they ARE Lincolns.

 

I call this my smallpox lincoln..is this an example of a bad metal mixture..bubbling? and it looks like a crack on his nose to upper cheek and ear area is really "bubbled"? ive seen in coin books..bit never have came across one..no premium value but thought it was cool to share..

 

Those are Zincolns, zinc with a thin copper coating. Normal for them to self-destruct over time, just another result of debasing the money supply (traditional copper mix is too expensive to represent the value of our penny any longer).

I find them with my metal detector all the time and wouldn't even bother digging them up, but they share a signal and tone with gold so... Dig them, I must!

 

thanks for the info..just found another..lol..change jar is full so going through that this weekend findimg some interesting coins..

Two pix,right lens & left/bottom lens of stereo microscope 3D, it's real

 

There's talks of using Steel again; Congress & Sen. John Mc Cain are avidly seeking steel as a commerce tool once again. It's been on the back-burner for quite some time. I liked what Canada did with their copper coated /magnetic cents though. If it's trustworthy, and doesn't kill people off (in great numbers), it's collectible. Pretty soon, you might be trading nuts & bolts for commerce, maybe spent nails were a nickel per pound, er something.

 

1919S Not a low mintage but a nice coin. The fun of searching.

 

I like the 1915

 

Hey guys i really need help on this one. 10 minutes ago looking thru 63s i find this little Lincoln it weighs 2.7 instead of 3.1 and it does not appear to be ground down. It is perfectly round and smooth edge with consistant patina. Why is it so small? Foreign planchet? I hope someone can help me. I really like it but more importantly hope its something special....lol

 

I found a 1919s weeks ago. Kinda beat up. My oldest of my 3 s mint lincolns. I roll search so it's a hobby to me. Labor of love. Cheech

 

Sorry to say, the coin has been ground down there are scuff marks on both the obverse and reverse..
It wouldn't surprise me by color that it took a soak in an acidic environment also.
Sorry for the bad news.

 

Drier coin, PMD.

 

Got this one from roll searching the other last few days ago. Big surprise to me too.

Yes. I agree.

 

You're welcome. Look for 1982 and prior (note: some 1982's were zinc.) pennies. Those are mostly copper and worth about two and one half cents metal value. I don't think it's legal to melt them but still a store of wealth, especially by the time the rest of the herd catches on.
