A good start Brandie, and you MAY find they are are like potato chips, once you start you have to have more. Happy collecting, J.T.
Might have to get a book to put them in. Keeps them handy when you find a nicer example of one you already have.
Welcome to Coin Talk. Since many coin shops are closed due to Covid-19, look up "coin supplies" on Google and buy yourself an inexpensive Lincoln cent holder like the one's shown above. I think I had the most fun trying to fill those folders than any other part of coin collecting. Unfortunately, the holes that are left unfilled are extremely difficult to find in circulation. The only one completely filled are the Jefferson Nickels. The rest I'll probably have to buy but I still have fun hunting. Hope you have as much fun in your hunt.
I have a 1943 s copper wheat penny I think. It weighs correct and is not magnetic. But in not great shape can you please help me figure out if it's real please?
Meow bought a wheat penny album to put all of this Cats CRH finds too. Meow has found the pennies dated in the 30s or older are very hard to find CRH. So Meow's album will never be filled with trophies of the hunt.
First, welcome to the neighborhood! As a rule, it is considered impolite to hijack someone else's thread, but we usually cut some slack to newcomers. It's best that you start your own thread and be sure to post good, clear photos of both sides of the coin. By the way, it is extremely unlikely that you have a 1943-S copper cent. Most often they are coins of other dates that have been altered in some way. Let's see it, okay? ~ Chris
