Post your Lincolns!

I’ll guess F-15, maybe VF-20 because of the strong reverse. Wonderful coin!

Brilliant proofs are just sooo hard to photograph well. Sorry about the a slight focus problem when zooming in. I was thinking on replacing my Avatar with this one as it is my birth year.

 

Go for it. The photo of the obverse is good enough.

 

Two recent upgrades.

 

Here is my newest addition. Those San Fran 1920 cents are difficult! I truly underestimated the ease of obtaining decent examples. Still, best I could find with a good O in "One", nice wheat lines and Lincoln's cheek doesn't look like it was ran over by a flat roller.

 

One of these days, I do need to learn how to better photograph copper. This one does have some luster to it, despite my vain attempt to gather it digitally, though I would not call it full. I feel the '25 D is so difficult to find with a great strike, but I just loved the color on this one and Lincoln looked good compared to most I was viewing. Being as such, I bought it for the set.

 

Has any one seen a 1944 wheat penny that weighs 2.7 and is not magnetic

 

That is weird. The 1943 steel cents are white-ish from the zinc coating weigh 2.7 gram and ARE magnetic. All copper or bronze cents are on non magnetic planchets but weigh 3.11 grams. You could have a thin planchet or a Chinese fake trying to mimic a 1944 struck on a 1943 planchet but it would be magnetic. Or your scale might be off.

 

I took it to a couple coin dealers here in town and they had said it looked legit and was very collectable that is all they could tell me

 

I took it to a couple coin shops here in town and they had said it to be legit and that it was very collectable.thats all they would say a out it.They measured the thickness of it and there scale read the same as mine.i am new at this so just wondering what I should do so I can sell it.And thank you for the response.

 

I don't think it is worth much from the one picture and would suggest that you ask the coin shop where you took it its value. As an underweight planchet probably only worth a dollar or 2 in that condition.

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood, Jason!

Most dealers are not very proficient at attributing error coins because it takes too much time to learn about them and search for them. Their primary concern is to buy and sell coins! ~Chris

 

So it isn't worth sending in to get graded ?

 

Probably not worth the fees to get it graded. If you take a little better pictures of the front and back (obverse and reverse in coin collecting terms) folks can give you a little better idea of the worth. Post the pictures as full size images and crop the pictures so the coin is the only thing in the frame as other coins above. Welcome and good hunting for coins!

 

Thank you

 

Please comment

What's this penny?

 

Welcome to Coin Talk. Your photos have a red X over them so I can't see what you have. Could you please post clear, full size pics of both sides of the coin. Thank you.

 

I like 1929. It seems a bridge between the scarce mintages of the 1920s and the beginning of the depression years.

 

Here is a pocket change find.
Nice unabraded clashed Lincoln.
