Large Date

 

It looks to me a bit different then the other 2 I have. Or ..Are these the same?

 

The 2 looks a bit thinner!!

 

All large dates. You can use this for reference in the future:

Is this still a good find ..and worth keeping? I'm very new and have several old pennies

 

@furryfrog02 See these... Does thinness have anything to do with LD or SD?

 

Ok thank you very much.

 

Glad these threads are popping back up. We had a week or so drought

 

Doesn't have to do with thick or thin, but more with the curvature of the two.

 

There is probably a lot more to this hobby than you yet realize, but one thing to understand as early as possible is that the hobby is yours to do with and experience as you see fit. If you allow yourself to get bogged down by worrying about what others think or collect, or how valuable a coin is to someone else, you're less likely to enjoy it as much as you should.

When searching pocket change, all that really matters is if you like a found coin. However, when it comes to buying coins and paying collectible premiums, then it is very important to know exactly what you're doing and would be buying. The same enjoyment factor is still paramount, but it's very easy to get burned or to bury oneself when not possessing the knowledge to buy safely. This hobby is learning, and is something you could continue to do for the rest of your life without ever knowing half of what's out there. Look into different aspect or areas of the hobby to see what speaks to you personally, then make a serious effort to educate yourself. Ask questions when stuck or unsure, but be put your thick skin on before signing in.

Although the shown coins go not carry collectible premiums, there's nothing wrong with collecting them and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Welcome to the forum, Bee!

 

Thanks very much .I do enjoy.collecting coins really I didn't realize how much I did ,I would pick up wheat pennies on the ground anywhere and was fascinated by how old they were and kept them and saved them so my.mom saw this and started bringing them to me now I'm interested in all different types of coins, what made.me want to start looking at wheat pennies is I was a cashier and a.lady came.in with a bunch of 2 dollar bills and I said I would like to keep these for my.children when they get older so they could see something from the past later that day when I was.leaving work I pick up and old wheat penny and started.collecting coins, a year or two after that I went to a hotel and found and bunch of world coins as it.looks to me under the mattress. I just want to know alot about all the coins I have because I just recently started looking into value and grades which I haven't before ..thanks for all the help ..Hope I don't bother anyone with all the post I truly do have a bunch I'd like to know more about

 

Not a bother at all. Anyone who is willing to learn is more than welcome here

 

This, @Bee23, is an example of a "bother".....

Someone new, willing to learn and reasonably engage is altogether different and most welcomed.

 

You are very lucky I have never found a wheat penny on the street ever. Welcome to CT

 

It was pocket change from someone dropping it outside on there way out the store and ofcourse they keep going cause its just a penny !! but i pick them up I see it all the time..but hey never know what one may.find!!!!!

 

Know that old saying see a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck !!!guess I try my luck..!!

 

I have heard if is the obverse you can pick for good luck if it’s the reverse just leave it , just saying

 

I pick it up no matter what....maybe that's why my luck sucks haha.

 

Lol now you know, your luck will get better
