Just a coin I found yesterday day in a roll the 82 small date is hard to find zinc or copper. I have a bunch put up never even look at them just to notice if it is small date or large date. I keep everyone of the small dates I ant even wait them I'm sure I will not get lucky enough to find a copper. But I might find something else wrong with one when I do go through them. I have done the same with the 83 coins I have a bunch of them I just took a couple of pictures of them just found them love the color of these I have a nother one just like it came in the same roll.
I keep the small dates myself. What is happening with the MM. If you look closely you can see it next to other devices on the coin.
I don't know pickin and grinn I've not notice that I wonder how far back that goes back. I have plenty of the small date zinc and copper coins just something about the small dates they act like every one took all theme out when they hit in 82. But I for sure have found a lot I don't know how many large date copper penny I know there is a error on it so I put it back I figured I would get to them one day I have so many 82coins I will never get them all looked at some times they come All at once than I will hit one ever little bit I have some nice ones put back this was before I even got own the site to show people I'm just reading and looking through some coins. I have some nice Red coins I don't think they have a scratch on theme but what get me is the steps hard to find one perfect. I'm finding Old coins that have better steps on theme than the young ones.
From your link... "Remember, all cents before 1982 are solid copper..." 95% copper and 5% tin/zinc, actually.
Do you think there going to do with out the penny and let us melt the copper down out of a penny. I heard in two more years they will be done with the penny hek in Canada it's done all ready gone. Not trying to throw anybody off but I believe in god so I read the bible there will not be any curnncy buy the end of time just saying it will be a Chip put in side of you that ant nothing but the devil. We will elect a person that the people love and he will turn this place in to a place of dark times just a little piece sorry about that coins will not be nothing they take them away would that not bring up the price in Canada I don't think it's done nothing to the coins I just found a 44 i collect them specially the old ones I have the 36 just ant got the dot but it is still pretty cool. It's in great shape too I don't know what it is worth I'm trying to find some in the 20s hard to find but I got bad ones and I have Ms condition ones like I said don't know much about it.
Pick and grinn what are you getting at about the mm getting closer when you get this hit me back up I have thought of a thousand things what you are talking about. I guess I should no but sorry I'm not sure and I really want to know what you are talking about that way I can look at the coin myself and figure out what is going on.
This is where the wrong word can get you in trouble.. We all no that?.. That to means we think that NO they don't come first Buddy.. It's we all know that!
I didn't know I don't know your guys words you youse paddy man I just a man buy his self doing it buy his self didn't grow up like most of you guys have I'm just great full I'm here time heals everything I know that for a fact give me time paddy man I have more own my shoulders besides just coins but give me time I will figure it all out I have monster shoulder I pack a big load I set up all night then get my day started around day light I don't even go to bed a lot of times I messed my brain up I don't know if I will ever get some of it back I take a lot of meds I have to take meds to put me to sleep or my mind will not shut down pretty crazy huh I've stayed up for weeks before just looking at coins put them up I have buckets full most are in good shape or I want keep it.
You know Bently, not sure if I am hitting the nail on the head or not. It doesn't matter to me if I do. But, what I can say is just keep up on your reading and education in Numismatics. You can't go wrong learning which coins are valuable and stashing them away. You are doing fine brother.
Thanks pickin and grinn you guys are the best you guys what makes me get up every day and give me a chance at this. I thought this would be easy but it's far from that there is a lot to this.
