[QUOTE="Texas John, post: 1056203, member: 25813"]By the 1950's, pennies were grotesquely large and cumbersome in comparison with their worth. With a value slightly more than one US cent, they were widely and passionately despised. As a result, they circulated only grudgingly, accumulated in piles in banks and people's homes, and so in many years there was no need to mint any. Of course, this is a boon for those today who wish to collect them, as beautifully toned and scarcely circulated examples of most dates are quite abundant.[/QUOTE]
