<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2854808, member: 88736&quot;]Tyler, those people who have a big collection are relatively older people than you (I saw now, from your profile, you are a young one.) Do you think that they are happy now about their big collection? My guess, most of them are already regretful for spending their time and money for those big collections. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, it is not totally worthless to collect damaged coins, etc. however, if you are also interested in &quot;what is happening in the mint, what tech is being used there, what is causing those damages, etc&quot; like a mechanical/metalurgical/etc engineer/technician/etc. whose aim is to learn from errors/mistakes and to improve the techniques. Otherwise, if you are just after the rarity like many collectors are after, a damaged, say, a blind horse too is rare, but, not worth at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Penny with P mint mark; that &quot;P&quot; comes from &quot;P&quot;hiladelphia mint, doesn&#039;t it? If I were an employee there who spent a life by working there, that &quot;P&quot; would be meaningful for me. Since I&#039;m not, &quot;P&quot; mint mark on that penny coin does not make me get interested in it and, except collectors, the people won&#039;t be interested in learning it, either. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, whether they are collectors or non-collectors, any person around you will be interested in the money, specifically in the penny you have, but, they&#039;ll be interested in only when they own one, in their pockets. So, with 150 penny you already have, you have a chance to make 150 new friends and to make bad friends good friends. That is an incomparable valuable thing. You have already got &quot;one lazy mans trash&quot; (&quot;tommyc03&#039;s&quot;) and to make it a treasure is your work. Good work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
