I have a red 1982 lincoln. A rainbow 2016 D lincoln. And another lincoln my kids found playing in the dirt. 194- something and don't see a meant mark. Curious if they're worth anything.
Your Cents are normal circulated Cents The Wheat can be cleaned with water to reveal the date. Nasty hit on the back side. No Mint Mark means it was minted at the Philadelphia Mint. The 2016 is just natural toning The 1981 looks like a Improperly Mixed Alloy AKA Woody..
OK.. You mean it looks color red? You need to understand that the term Red means something different from what you meant. In numismatics, Red means the appearance of a Cent. There is Red, Red Brown and Brown Here is an example -
Forgot to post that one. Here's another pic. Red brownish on top another lighter below it. Both are slightly heavier than other pennies. Some 82 lincoln below them. A 79 susan wide rim. And then another 2 coins off to the side I thought might have been double punched or something. They thicker than other pennies details.
It appears that in your last picture, you have large and small dates. Weigh the 82-D small dates to see if you have a copper planchet - 3.1 grams. If you do it could be worth a lot.
Just don't get your hopes up... the chances of it being the mentioned variety are likely akin to winning the powerball. Consider it all part of the learning experience, and welcome to the forum.
Hey. Play nice. Complain if you're paying for the 2kb that post used. Then I'll have another comment for ya.
I'm sorry, was that uncalled for? @John T. Welcome to the forum! Better late than never. What Sakata was referring to was how you can edit a post. He probably didn't realize you are somewhat new here otherwise he may have helped you out. If you go back to a posted post and hit edit you can add to the comment you already posted. It's really not a big deal if you post ten back to back comments, I just wanted you to know what he's complaining about.
You'll need to use a scale that will show hundredths of a gram to really know (X.XX) coppers are about 3.11g and the zincs are about 2.5g. It's possible that the scale is rounding everything to 3g Edited to add- you can find them for around $15 on Amazon or the bay, with calibration weights. A 100g or 200g scale would do what you need it to do for coin collecting.
Only those out of 400 pennies weighed 3g. But you do have a very good point on that. I'll look into getting a 100g scale cause rounding up didn't cross my mind. Thank you!!!!
