<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WaA140, post: 42863, member: 2663&quot;]<b>Most fascinating</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new to the forum.&nbsp; I have always been interested in coin collecting and check my coins from time to time but I rarely get coins going through my hands any more.&nbsp; But the passion has been revived with the state quarters and L&amp;C nickels program.&nbsp; I recently purchased the 2005 Silver proof set of the state quarters, something I have been contemplating doing for far too long.&nbsp; Now to catch up on the previous issues which is going to cost me dearly, it looks like, especially for the 1999 issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, to get on topic, I haven&#039;t found anything recently but I got to thinking about my little pile of &quot;coins of interest&quot; I create over time.&nbsp; With the discussions about half dollars I got to thinking about a couple that my son has given me over the last year or so and decided to go get them.&nbsp; As I did I came across several rolls of pennies I had forgotten about.&nbsp; So, I&#039;ll put them and the two halves as my &quot;recent finds&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I can see that I have a lot to learn so what I have here may be nothing special but maybe you can tell me one way or the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>From my pile of &quot;coins of interest&quot; I retrieved my son&#039;s two half-dollars, a 1998 and 1999, both Denver mint.&nbsp; I need to learn how to classify their condition but both have sharp features on front and back. The 1998 shows as having been circulated, having nicks and dings although nothing big and noticeable.&nbsp; The 1999 is in better condition, showing no signs of circulation to my untrained eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the pennies, I have before me 5 rolls of what appear to be 1977 D pennies in BU condition.&nbsp; What should I do with them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Darwin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
