Need help identifying these pennies...

You'll have to ask the seasoned veterans here. I'm pretty new to the site myself and haven't looked at everything yet. Well, I've been a member since 2009, but not until recently have I done more than read.

Yea. That's what I thought too. I know that it was available in the corporate world but at least I didn't get to have access until the mid 90s when I was in college.

 

I didn't start college my self until the late 90's. Although I had internet access in school starting about 1995.

 

With the new pictures I'm now going to go with a split planchet pre-strike and not a rolled thin planchet.

 

Thanks Conder101. What does that mean in terms of rarity?

 

I identify both of them as being 'cents,' not 'pennies.' Hope that helps.
You're welcome !!

 

Your brother was NOT a 'CB radio' enthusiast. If nothing else, CB radios had nowhere near the range to reach overseas. He was using a HAM radio. Big, BIG difference.

 

Not as officially licensed, but most users were 'outlaws' who used their 5 watt transceiver to drive a 500 -1000 watt ham RF amplifier, and working on the 11 meter band could well reach many countries. As a ham working on the 10 Meter band, I could slide the receiver over and hear them having a great time. QSL cards were normally exchanged by hams, but the attaching currency and such never caught on like with the CB group. So yes, he could have been all as claimed even if he had no ham license, especially through the peak sunspot cycles. Some companies made good money by making Ham amplifiers that could be easily modified for CB use.

 

Lol... I'm not an expert. He had a whole setup in his room with a huge antenna mounted on our roof. But he did have a CB radio in his car for whenever he was on the streets. And he's licensed. Not sure if they have different licenses though.

 

Check out his YouTube channel (hopefully I'm allowed to post the URL here): www.youtube.com/user/jueyeropr/videos

I'm not an expert and honestly I have no idea what he does when doing these "power battles" or whatever...

 

That definitely helps. Thanks.
