<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vtvick777, post: 1276762, member: 28910&quot;]Hi Chris, welcome to CoinTalk.&nbsp; For pennies there are a few decisions you&#039;ll have to make while you are searching.&nbsp; Some people hoard copper, which are pennies dates 1981 and earlier, as an investment because they were made with 95% copper before 1982, and already are worth more than 0.01.&nbsp; I have had success selling copper pennies on ebay, averaging 1.5x face value on $200 sold, although that probably won&#039;t be the case anymore because copper has dropped from 4.50 to ~3.00 in the last few weeks.&nbsp; Most people take out wheaties and any indian heads if they are lucky enough to find them.&nbsp; I take out the Canadians, and other foreign coins I find, just for fun.&nbsp; As for errors, there are a ton of them.&nbsp; This site does a pretty good job of listing the errors to look for <a href="http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html</a>&nbsp; As you can see there are so many errors its probably not worth it to look for them all, so pick the ones that interest you.&nbsp; I personally look for the famous 1955 Double Die, the 1972 Double Die, the 1999 Wide AM, and the 1995 Double Die, which is my avatar picture.&nbsp; In about $1000 worth of pennies I have found 2.&nbsp; Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
