    I recently bought 15 steel pennies for 18 bucks total. two of which are S mint and others are D and some none at all (P). They are in real poor shape. i love steel pennies and could not resist. i also had a chance to buy a gold coin for 2100$ and it was graded by NGC with AU 21 i believe. i would of bought it in a heart beat but that cost more then what i paid for my car!!

    Just so you know, there is no such thing as AU-21. If it's AU, it would have to be AU 50-58. As far as the steel cents, you can get uncirculated ones for around $1-$2.

    So, what did you want our opinion on exactly? I was simply saying that 'poor shape' steel cents are not a good deal for 15 at $18, when you can get uncirculated ones for almost the same price. :) We can't give any opinions on the gold coin, since you didn't say what it was either.

    One seller on FleaBay has 2 rolls of steel cents for $14.00.

    I agree with Chris... fifteen steelies in "real poor shape" aren't worth anywhere near $18.

    My dealer gives them away for 10 cents each. I purchased 50 once for $5.

    apparently circulated steel cents are not expensive

    I paid $5 for these at a local coin shop North of Boston. 1943 and 1943D - about the best that can be said of them is that the date can be read on all of them.

    I offer my circulated steel cents at the show for 5 cents each and they don't move. I have started giving them away to kids who come to my table.
