I have a lot of years collecting as do many others on CT. Zinc Cents have been with us since 1982. That’s 39 years and you wouldn’t believe what...

Yes Frank. I’m suffering from a complete failure as to how this would be a D mint mark under the date. It’s a 1969 coin and that was over 50 years...
And what did I say on Friday? She’ll get it, late but she’ll get it. Be patient. Glad it’s out for delivery. Hopefully the carrier delivers it to...
Before or after the strike?
