<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bdrozdz, post: 1478433, member: 38912&quot;]First off, I&#039;d just like to say hey as a new member of the forum and a relatively new coin collector. So uhh, hey. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got my fair share of wheat pennies, some silver coins, a handful of bicentennial quarters and a couple coins I recieved from my grandfather, including a Columbian Exposition Half in great condition, a 3 cent piece from 1874, and an 1834 capped bust dime, along with a few other coins from the same era.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I read online about coin roll hunting and decided to give pennies and dimes a go.&nbsp; After going through a few boxes of pennies and a box of dimes, I happened to find some coins that stood out enough for me to keep them.&nbsp; Any help with determining whether or not any of these are of value would be greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one is a 1990 P dime that seems to be missing the outer layer, leaving the surface with only copper.&nbsp; This is more apparent on the front than on the back.</p><p>Front: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0522.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0522.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0522.jpg</a></p><p>Back: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0523.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0523.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0523.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The next is a 1974 S penny that seems to have a double bevel around the rim, as if the die wasn&#039;t properly aligned.&nbsp; I&#039;m not to confident that this is worth much.</p><p>Front: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0525.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0525.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0525.jpg</a></p><p>Side: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0526.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0526.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0526.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then, we have a clearly misstruck 1984 penny.&nbsp; Highest hopes are in this one.</p><p>Front: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0515.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0515.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0515.jpg</a></p><p>Back: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0516.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0516.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0516.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, I found a 1989 penny that seems to have no copper around the outer rim.&nbsp; The edge is the classic dark grey of zinc metal, and I&#039;ve never seen any other penny like it.&nbsp; It&#039;s much more visible on the reverse side of the coin.&nbsp; </p><p>Front: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0490.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0490.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0490.jpg</a> </p><p>Back: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0489.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0489.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0489.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and one more thing, I also found this penny in which someone engraved the outline of the state of Kansas with KS in the middle into the front of this penny.&nbsp; Not sure if it&#039;s worth anything, but it&#039;s interesting enough.</p><p><a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0524.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0524.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21971781/IMAG0524.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll gladly post more pictures if anyone requests, and thanks again for any help given.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
