1929 penny

Just a question. Does this penny looked to be toned?

Nice looking, did you find that in change recently?

 

Yeah. Is there any value there

 

Looks like it was heavily worn, and THEN spent a lot of time in perhaps an album or a 2x2 envelope.

 

Definitely heavily worn, But I still suspect a cleaning/polished.
Really not worth much over face value. 3-5 cents.

 

Yes, it's toned.
It's brown and that's toning.

 

That coin would look good in any collection. Nice find.

 

Worth about a nickel.

 

I would put that one in a 2X2! Nice '29 if found in circulation.

 

I'm guessing yes. It's pretty

 

Yes...the bluish cast seen on both sides is toning from some kind of paper stock, either an album or a flip. Purty well worn there, Pardner. NGC lists VG8 @ 20 cents...F12 @ 27 cents if grading was liberal...Its better than G4...Spark

 

@bowers1982 although I already have a couple of these, I'll take it off your hands for 55¢ including postage. BTW, saw on the news that the price of a stamp goes up 5¢ soon, so it's time to buy your Forever stamps in quantity before the hike.

 

I prefer to buy "Eventually" stamps.

 

My wife buys 10 "books" at a time... that's 200 stamps. She goes thru these quickly enough—they'll be gone within 6 months. She'll be saving $10 over that period, but I've encouraged her to buy at least double that many.

As for myself, I use four stamps per year, all of which I get from my wife; one to mail in my property taxes, saving the fee the city charges if I choose to pay online with a credit card, the other three to mail in rebate forms for my dogs' flea-tick-worm medicine. I just took two of the three to the vet, the cost of their meds being, $385.26 including taxes. The rebates amount to $75 per dog, reducing the cost significantly—and well worth the cost of the stamps.

Every fourth year, I use two extra stamps, one to renew my driver's license, the other to renew the plates on my two cars.

I expect that the cost of postage will increase even more, costing you as much as $1.00 sooner than one might expect. If my wife gets 40 books of stamps, we might have enough to last a couple years...with immense savings!

 

I prefer to eventually buy stamps as needed.

 

As an ex stamp collector I use what I have at home.

 

Yep, and I get a lot of mail with multiple older stamps too.

 

I have been collecting stamps as long as I have collected coins. I'm in the same boat. I have to try to use up all the extras I have. And, I am an "ex stamp collector". I quit in 2000. The USPS was putting out so many stamps every year. It was like collecting wall paper.

 

So what's wrong with collecting wallpaper?
