I'll second that.

99.9% of Americans who do not understand our stupid little obsession, nor do they care?

 

"Stupid little obsession" - Funny.

 

It was probably me. If it aint ancient or silver, I tend not to care. I've spent some of those Indian Head pennies before, as well as some early 20th century pennies. The general public doesn't care and has no clue about our hobby, and even amongst us numismatists we only really tend to care about the coins in the particular field that we collect, and are generally ignorant about the coins in other fields of numismatics.

Don't take it the wrong way but I honestly have no clue what is so special about a brand new penny like the one you showed. Is it supposed to be rare? Is it expensive? I really have no idea. In my area of focus, an 80 year old coin may as well have been struck yesterday.

 

Oh no! Worlds collide - (just kidding of course, but funny)

 

Yup.... 300+ million culprits out there. One hell of a whodunit, huh?

 

I got a 1959P dime in my change yesterday, about X.F. Happens now and then.

 

Heck, I'd be glad that others don't care, because now you've got the coins due to others' apathy!

 

meh...

 

I sometimes stick something unusual in coin rolls I turn in, something worth little to me but could spark a little interest when someone discovers it. wheaties, battered indians, steelies, etc. Even a store clerk breaking a roll of pennies likes a surprise.

 

I read "battered" as batteries at first and was going to get really mad at you

 

By the way, once I turned in a roll of cents to my bank and the teller ran a magnet over it. First time I had seen this. I had salted the roll with two 1943 well worn cents, the teller would not accept the roll, so I opened it and we had a good laugh.

 

That is cool, how I react sometimes, I always enjoy being reminded I'm like other people.

 

Nothing I hate more than finding a stupid watch battery... RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'll raise you a fifty.

On the serious note; Someone who thinks coins are worthless, and will never be valued. Like a family member and their coin jar. Just this afternoon I found an extremely shiny 1959 D Lincoln in there, and yesterday a 1926 P Lincoln.

I realized something, how come non collectors get all the good stuff, while collectors are left to rot?

 

Nice find

 

Couldn't even hazard a guess but if someone feels compelled to do something like that please send it to me, I'll send you 49 pennies back. Once I went into a gass station, the guy needed pennies, he cracked open a roll and gave me 59 cents in change, 2 quarters and 9, 1969 pennies that looked staight out of the mint. Now I wish I bought the restt of the roll.
