[QUOTE="SmokeMonkey, post: 159291, member: 6459"]i've been buying penny rolls and collecting the copper and wheat pennies and have a question. i notice that some of the pennies, like ones from the 60's, are shiny. i have a 1960 that is SHINY. most pennies from the 60's and 70's are really brown but some are almost like they came out of a new roll last week. kind of wondering about these really old coins being in really nice condition. so far the best one seems to be a 1960. its the oldest and best looking. no pictures yet, i want someone to give me some info first. why would a penny that old be in such nice condition? lincoln seems to "stand out" more on it than most pennies, especially later pennies from the 80's and 90's. i'm also looking for a source for lincoln cents and errors and others thing that might make some of them worth something. hate to think i'd get rid of a penny that might be worth something.[/QUOTE]
