Might have found proof pennies from 1959 to 2018. Need some help!

Give that dog a biscuit

All normal.
The 1946 seemed to be in nice condition.

 

Well thank you all.... I feel stupid. Sorry for wasting your time. Jajaja. It is what is. Eventually I will aquire enough knowledge and avoid getting made fun. I apologize for the misleading and incorect title. The important thing is that im hapoy with the box and the keepers i got.... Thank you all again.

 

Tough crowd here sometimes. Tougher on newer collectors sometimes too. Don't sweat it. Now you know.

 

Hey-

The fact that you found a couple wheat pennies is cool on its own. Some even look to be in great condition!

Any day that you find old coins in circulation is a good day. Thanks for sharing the box with us.

 

Just remember that Proof is not a grade. It is a method of manufacture.
A proof coin can be any grade. Yes most are high grades, but not all.
Proof coins will almost always look different from regular coins. Different in a good way.

 

Not proofs, as others have said, but definitely in better condition than most coins that age. It looks like someone cashed in a collection, and you were lucky enough to get them. Great find!

Welcome to CoinTalk!

 

For comparison, here are two proof cents from the time period.

Notice the reflective fields (background) and exceptionally sharp details.

Thank you... I didnt know too much how proofs look.... But thats exactly what i thought. That it was somebody's collection. I had been looking for 2017p and found it in this box. I found a lot of coins in great condition. I found 11 wheats.... Heres a beautiful one.

 

yup

 

You've got some nice coins there! Congratulations!!! Keep at it and HAVE FUN!!!!

 

if you enjoy it then keep doing it

 

Yes, regular strikes. Nice find

 

You should NOT feel stupid, you asked good questions and posted good pictures...some of the wheat cents look great.
So you didn't have any proof's...NO big deal, it was good to see what you did have...Thanks for having posted them..
Even Bud my dog liked them

 

Your 57d is real nice for a circulation find. Keep your eyes peeled and post your finds. It’s what we love

 

Thanks for posting. Just fyi, for every seasoned collector that may be a bit impatient, there are a good number of us newbies that learn from your post, so again thanks and happy hunting.

 

Tough crowd is my line!

 

no, like said above--no proofs.
but a nice find of great condition coins.
be happy for that

 

I agree. Nobody knows it all and I've quite a long way to go myself. Others here bury me with what they know and I've actually learned a great deal since I first started collecting. Still, I know quite little compared to some in here.
