Found these in pocket change today. Pic #1 I was just suprised to see this coin in such good condition. Pic #2 Some strange stuff going on with this one. Maybe off center. Maybe post mint. not sure.
I like that penny! Actually I'm starting to get a lot more enjoyment out of picking really nice examples out of circiulation. If for no other reason, you're more likely to get those than that elusive 1914-D !!! And I'm seeing more and more auctions on e-bay for AU/BU memorial lincoln cents - so there's money in them thar hills!!!
Dime does look post mint damage but nice find on the penny. I think its the assumption that a penny in that good of shape will be 2000- on that when its so old it makes it that much better! Congrats
i sometimes see some cents like that from the 60's. pretty neat how they stay like that for so many years. i guess its been sitting in a roll or piggy bank for 44 years!
