1974 Lincoln Cents BU from Bank!

I'm searching through these tomorrow, been in this old milk bottle for many years! Mostly foreign if I remember, and I see Wheaties in there!

Darn. I have the same Bottle . Early 1900's that's funny . Just saying .

 

Wow ! They had Crosswords back then ?

 

I think that bottle is 1930s, I found it in a creek in the late 60s in Chelsea, MI (Weinberg Dairy) and filled it up with a bunch of coins my grandfather gave me!

 

I found mine at a old schoolhouse that came down in 1905 or so. The women I met that told me was alive then .

 

I would separate by country if you can first .

 

Good idea! Send a pic of your bottle please! I just found some more rolls of coins I got from the bank in the 70s!

 

These 76s didn't age nearly as well as the 74s, not sure why, they were stored the same!

 

maybe paper composition?

 

That full jar would be useful in steadying a phone's camera when taking pictures of a coin. Maybe a little tall, but relatively heavy to steady the phone.

 

Any ideas why the trees and steps are missing on penny to the right , the one on the left is just as refference

@Barry (Mister B.) ...the coin to the right is a corroded weak strike of unknown date.

The coin to the left is a worn memorial cent of unknown date.

The weak strike, corrosion or wear are the reasons the details are not present...imo...Spark

 

Sorry , the penny to the left was just a reference , the penny on the right is a 1984
There is also a resesed groove between the bottom edge and monument , i've never really understood how certain aspects of coins could be (offset) and not affect the coins in total ! Should i spend these coins or are they worth keeping

 

Btw ,I really appreciate you information

 

Impressed that you purchased them at such an early age.

 

Mommy, I gotta go penny-do-do, hurry I gotta cash out. Happy New Year

 

Fortunately, we didn't have crappy Olds Omegas.
