<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zekeguzz, post: 847236, member: 15455&quot;]My friend who helps take care of the appartment building I live in told me he had some &#039; pennies&#039; that he found when szome people moved out several years ago. He finally got around to bringing them to me for my opinion on what they are worth.</p><p>Well, they were not stored very well so they oxidized and started corroding.There are several if not more cents which are really collectable .....but their condition is questionably poor. I would like opinions on want might be able to be done to rescue these Lincoln cents.</p><p>It looks like the person who owned this collection was fairly knowledgable except in storing them.&nbsp; It could have been that he died and his wife kept these until she either died or moved which happens often here.</p><p>The collection must have been started in the late 1940&#039;s or early 50&#039;s the Whitman folders are copyright 1949. There is also an old Whitman box No.&nbsp; 9601 which contains 100 slots for clear round plastic cent tubes, 2 1/2h x&nbsp; 7/8w. The printing on the box says you can buy the tubes--- two for 15 cents any denomination. Now that&#039;s a good deal.</p><p>So here are a couple of scans showing the condition of the cents. And the are five partially full Whitman folders are&nbsp; like this. One of them is for Indian Head cents and they are in the same condition.</p><p>The numbers on the folders are 9003, two 9030, two 9004. </p><p>Pictures to follow because I have to resixe them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
