<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sshafer11, post: 2090484, member: 67540&quot;]The only type of &quot;cent&quot; I&#039;m comfortable referring to as a &quot;penny&quot; is a wheat penny or a memorial penny, mostly because the majority of people (both collectors and not call them that) However I would personally cringe if I heard someone say &quot;Hey that is a nice Chain penny&quot; you got there. or &quot;look at my book of braided hair pennies&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand that there is definitely an element of copper enthusiast snobbery in my thinking, but I just find &quot;penny&quot; to be such an odd sounding word when referring to 19th century copper. I know that people of the era called them pennies as well, but it just doesn&#039;t agree with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
