    These are some of my favorite pennies I've obtained over a couple years, all scanned by my printer.

    The 1883 Indian Head was a find at Dan's in Olympia. It ended up in a $1 indian head bin, and I found it. It has the most flawless brown color I've ever seen in a coin, plus it's in a condition close to AU.

    I found this 1919-S at Dan's as well. It was a 35-cent coin, and it's color and condition stood out to me as worth more than I was paying for it. It looks like an XF to me.

    Then there's this 2008-D zinc penny. Now, a little story... I found a 1983 just like this one back in 2010. I lost it down some crevice a long time ago, but a short while after losing that coin, I found this copperless wonder. It's not pretty (that's to be expected of an exposed-zinc coin in circulation), but it survived to end up in my collection. Plus, they are a true rarity!

    Feel free to try and place your worth on these coins- and comment too. After all, prices are merely guidelines, and everyone would pay something different for the same coin.
