Post your Lincolns!

Actually they are worth 1 cent. Go try selling them for more that that.

Granted, there's not a huge market for them but there is a market. I've noticed them becoming scarce in change around here lately too.

"Melt values are theoretical because actually melting down pennies is illegal. But just as coin collectors did with quarters and dimes after 1964, when the coins went from being 90% silver to a copper-nickel blend, some intrepid entrepreneurs have now started bagging up old pennies and selling them as unofficial copper bullion.

Currently, auctions are asking between $2 and $3 per pound for quantities of 10 to 25 pounds of coins. One auction featured 100,000 pennies -- weighing about 680 pounds -- that sold for $1,500 plus $125 in shipping charges. That's less than the melt value of more than $2,000, but a nice profit for those who kept their penny jars around."

Oops...

REV of 14d

 

Anyone have a spare SVDB????

 

Is this an error on this penny?

 

I have a very nice added MM fake:

 

That is still a pretty coin a could fool many a collector including myself.

 

Both 64s...

 

The 1910P is an underappreciated year!

 

@robec - that 1940 is another amazing cent with a stunning photo. Thank you for sharing so generously. The rest of us might never see coins like these otherwise.

I tried underexposing the animation a bit more. Not sure if I like it as much as the still photos, but the colors are a little bit richer without the fuller exposure.

 

The 1912 is a jewel. Congratulations.

 

A few that I picked out of a H.E. Harris and CO. coin folder.
