On My 13th birthday I started when I found my dads collectionof a few wheat pennies and they really sparked something in me. So now I’m into wheat pennies and starting other collections of coins.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;In 1909, a new one centcoin design was commissioned by the United States Mint. The new copper coindesign was the new Lincoln Cent, intended as a tribute to the 100th anniversaryof the birth of our 16th President.</font></span><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">With Lincoln&#039;sprofile on the front and the circular wheat stalks on the back, what is nowknown and the “wheat penny” was born.&quot; by: <a href="http://www.pennies.com/facts.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pennies.com/facts.aspx" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff">http://www.pennies.com/facts.aspx</span></a></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Now as many people know wheatpennies are not worth much but, some are worth a lot of money not many only afew. The ones that are worth a lot of money are the low mintage ones, or missprints. Some of the rarest wheat back pennies are 1909-S V.D.B. (picture 1) whichis worth upwards $1,000. Only 484,000 were minted the number 484,000 seems likea lot but, in coins that is almost nothing. Because now in days there are around1 billion pennies minted a year. The next most rarest wheat penny is the 1922(no d)(picture 2) which is worth around $600 to $1,000 I really do not know howmany were minted but there still is many of them. Another, Maybe the most valuablewheat penny is the 1943 (copper cent) (picture 3) worth up to $1,000,000(1943-d copper).</font></span></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </font></span></font> <span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Now you know more on wheatpennies, to me it’s not what they’re worth. I plan on collecting for my wholelife and passing it on to my kids. Coin collecting is a fun hobby, but I think&nbsp; that pennies are one of the most fun coins to collect over all. Thank you forreading and good luck to everyone. ---Tyler k[ATTACH]156779.vB[/ATTACH]</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
