[QUOTE="kangayou, post: 843994, member: 23111"]I do not like the term "hoard". I do like pre-1982 pennies. They appear to have and retain a higher quality than almost all pennies post 1984. As an American I am embarrassed by the low quality of our post 2000 Lincoln pennies. Like other members here have already mentioned , it is a good time to be engaged in the hobby while acquisition funds are low. Since I am already taking the time to search for DD , MM , Wide or Close AM errors , I might as well sort them on the 1st pass. I save all pre-1982 pennies and separate those into bad pennies and good pennies. They will either become collectible eventually or they will be needed to make "things" if the economy collapses and chaos ensues. Either way I never had to pay more than a penny for 1. If you see a penny on the ground and heads is showing , then pick it up for good luck. If tails is showing then turn it over and leave it so that it will be good luck for someone else. ( unless of course you happen to see that it is a 1969-S DD :rolleyes:)[/QUOTE]
