My daughters just started to do penny collecting. 2 of them came across 2 1943 steel pennies, 1 1944 s, 2 1919, 1 1948s, 1 1948(not marked), and 1 1923 penny. Not sure if this matters but they are all wheat coin. Please help me with information about these particular coin. I called "professionals" at a coin store and they also told me that they are worth nothing. Also, reading about the steel penny and found out that they made a 1944. I also asked the person about that coin. He told me that they do not exist and they were never even made. I see other wise. I need some advice from actual collectors and know what they are talking about. My kids and I are wanting to do this a family hobby. HELP!!!

 

As for the 1944 steel cents, none were purposely made, but a couple dozen were accidentally made (or accidentally on purpose).

Without seen you finds, I can only guess they are well circulated. That being so, they are not totally worthless, but close to it. you might get 10¢ for the 1943 and 2¢ to 5¢ for the others.

 

The wheat cents are generally worth 3-8 cents but they can be worth a dollar or two in mint condition. There are some 1944 steel cents accidentally made from 1943 planchets. I don't think there are 1944s steel ones just p and d. Those are worth up to 100k.

They have found 2 1944-S steel cents. The last one sold for $375,000.

FWIW, there are 7 known from Denver and 27 known from Philadelphia.

 

Oh wow. Thanks for the info.

anyone know pop for 1943/44 mixed metal "copper steel cents?

 

Picked up a few Lincolns today at my LCS. Question for all you pros out there, some of the coins I have purchased have plastic residue from the flips is there any way without cleaning the coin to get rid of that stuff??? Thanks.

 

Acetone will get rid of any organic material one the coin.

 

I like the looks of the 1916.

 

D

Do I just dip them for a bit and then let them air dry?

 

Acouple more I purchased at my LCS

 

You can soak them for an indefinite amount of time. Some people rinse with distilled water, but acetone evaporates super duper quick. You really don't need a water rinse.

To be really safe, it may be best to soak each coin separately in one container of acetone, take it out and rinse it with a clean batch of acetone and let dry.

Put the acetone in a glass dish or bowl. Plastic will melt.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area. Cover unused acetone because it will evaporate if not careful. It is also flammable so be extra careful.

 

And the last batch.
