1982 No mint large date Penny

Hi all,
I am just starting to collect and I read how to clean snd of course many ways are suggested. Should I even touch it and just do the proper way of starting an album etc. Thanks for any input.

Clean it if you want its only worth a cent and no mm means Philadelphia mint. Ignore the D in the picture.

 

Thanks

 

I wouldn't fuss with it. What's the point? You'll just make it a cleaner eye-sore if you do. I'd just keep it until I found a better one.

 

Not worth keeping

 

She's just starting. She'll figure it out.

 

It’s a spender so don’t waste your time or materials on cleaning it.

 

Yep, large date, but it is a crummy Zincoln and it is already starting to rot away, so I'd spend it. NAV above 1¢.

 

I agree! There are enough of these around it should be easy to find a better example!!!

 

I’m just learning. There are critiques and then their opinions. Potty dollar stated it just fine.

 

Once it looks like that there is nothing that can be done to bring it back. Spend it! Here is my 82 LD Philadelphia minted copper cent.

 

I’m a beginner lol

 

@Razz . Nice woody . He He /

 

I just recently learned a new reason many coins especially Cents have that appearance. Those lines are called Roller Marks. They actually have nothing to do with Improperly Mixed alloys aka a woody.
I have been incorrectly been calling them woodies for a very long time..
Just sharing some of my new knowledge with you.

 

Thanks ! Is that something that occurs during the Minting process ? I mean the rolling out of the sheet of copper ?

 

I'm still looking into how actually occurs.
It's more of an anomaly.

 

Did you steal that coin from me? NICE! It's one of the best if not the best examples that I've seen.

 

Here is the best one I've found - a search lasting decades.

 

Nice... I’m still looking through many lol. Pretty!
