<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bentley carpenter, post: 7772608, member: 120646&quot;]I was just wondering something I&#039;ve been collecting coins for quite awhile now I just really got started in errors and varieties I love the hunt I collect coins buy getting them buy the bank rolls. I don&#039;t collect but older coins sometimes I will collect up to about a 86 but I do look at all the memorial coins for errors and varieties. The shield Penny&#039;s I really don&#039;t keep none of them I&#039;ve heard people finding certain dates that are error coins but really not enough over site to catch my eyes. The big reason I took the time to write this and I hope everyone can understand what I&#039;m saying. One of my favorite coin is the 1959 or the 1959d is one of my favorite coin. I was wondering why is it so hard to find seems like I have a better chance in finding a 1944 wheat Penny&#039;s than the 1959 they had a high mintage I&#039;m pretty sure. Did people really take these coins out of cirlation or what I can find anything but the 59 only comes around once In a blue moon I was just wondering what the deal is. I do know a little bit it was the first coin to be introduced to the memorial building plus I here this coin is really hard to find in very high grade I believe that. I&#039;m not saying I don&#039;t have any cause I found a pretty nice brown piece this morning I have it in red I have it in red brown to. It is just the lack of them I know everybody don&#039;t think they have a 59 in mint shape I was just wondering that or am I the only person that feels that way. They may not made it were I&#039;m from but seems like the wheat Penny&#039;s are plentiful and there worth more over all on the coin itself about every wheat pennies are worth 15 to 20 cents a piece in bad shape that is any wheat Penny&#039;s I understand that the 59 has a nice price tag but overall most people are going to throw the 59 back before the wheat Penny&#039;s at least that is what I am thinking. I just thought I would throw that out there might not make no sense at all to some people but I really can&#039;t get a straight answer about it. If anyone has any info on this I would love to hear about it I love a little history about these coins that I&#039;m not finding thanks to all that read what I was talking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
