    I found this penny. Not in great condition, but indeed is that penny. It weighs 3.1g as a copper penny should. And is small date. What should I do? How would I go about selling?

    I like the positive attitude. Truly rare amongst all the people who come here thinking they have the coin that will allow them to retire to a life if luxury.

    It's a copper alloy which makes them worth less than 2 cents. It costs money to extract the copper.

    Did you check them out to see if they're "double dies?" On that one that looks like it was picked up off the pavement in a parking lot, if it was a U.S. Mint parking lot, the damage came from the U.S. Mint.

    The small date will be much farther from the rim.

    So did I. The other thread was later and had no weight info, this one does but is wrong...it is a large date.
