So today i got a few rolls of pennies from my local bank and when i opened the first one i was very surprised to see what look to be brand new shiny 1962 d and 1972 s out of the 2nd roll are these a good find and do they look new or are they maybe proof coins ? The camera doesnt show the color well but there very nice coper shimy
They look like regular business strike Cents. There is a difference between business and proof strikes. You can Google the words I made bold and see pictures of what they are. Sometimes someone will keep coins stored away for many years then finally decide to put them back into circulation. They look new but really aren't. Nice finds.
Nice finds. And they are not proofs. Most proofs have a mirror-like surface. They are considered to be in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The 62-D's are the high mintage cents for the date. The 72-S is the low mintage for its date. Their value is minimal and it will be quite a few years before they mature.
The little old lady from Pasadena Go granny, go granny, go granny, go... Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias Go granny, go granny, go granny, go... But parked in a rickety old garage Is a brand new shiny red super-stocked Dodge. Speaking of things brand new and shiny, that is to say. Just reminded of this, that's all. Oh, hell...
When I was younger and had too many cars, I kept one at my grandma's house in her 1 car garage (grandma didn't drive, never even got a license). I usually kept my bright red 1970 Dodge Charger R/T-SE parked there, but sometimes I'd swap it out for the bright red 1971 383 Magnum Challenger convertible. She told me that any time she opened the garage door she'd get people stopping by wanting to know if she would sell the cars! I can only imagine the comments when I parked a brand new 1992 Dodge Viper in the garage, in 1992! They must have thought she was The Little Old Lady from St. Clair Shores!
Great story my mom actually has the 1969 roadrunner she bought it brand new off the lot in 69 shes selling it now cause shes 70 and and cannt drive anymore its a fast beautiful car love it!!!
So probably a rust free Road Runner?! Do you know what engine it has? Road Runner would be standard 383 Magnum 4-Speed, with optional 440-6 barrel or 426 Hemi!
