Nice 1951, and I too like the toning on the 2000.

 

Sorry to say this.. Looks like urine stain toning.
Seriously

 

what is it with this board and the obsession with urine?

 

I'm probably to blame for that. Somebody posted a Peace dollar once that had yellowish toning, and I said that it looked like someone had peed on it.

what about this one @paddyman98? is this piss too?

 

No No No.. the proper word is urine. When dry it leaves rainbow toning on copper.
You think I'm kidding? I don't have an obsession. I'm stating a fact.

 

well what about that 68?

 

and i believe you!

 

Looks more like heat toning.

 

Is anything going on with that 1951 D mint mark? Maybe just a reflection but - http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1951&die_id=1951d1mm025&die_state=mds

 

For some reason people like to urniate on coins and on copper it looks like yours do. I still like it and the Wheat Cent.

 

my coin has exactly that. does it mean anything? im very new to collecting.

 

i found a 2017 P yesterday in a roll. first i've seen XD

 

That’s a terrific find in that condition even if it wasn’t an RPM. But being an RPM it is more desirable to a select group and would command a higher premium. The Coppercoins price estimates are like Red Book estimates; higher than you should expect to get and a little higher than you should expect to pay. LCS use gray sheets to price items that they are selling but most Variety coins don’t appear there. So to get a rough number the Coppercoins number at 75% might be more realistic. You can use eBay sold/completed sales, sale prices to generate a better estimate. But again, most varieties aren’t sold as a variety so in the end you’ll only have a rough number.

Stick it in a flip, flatten your staples, write down the variety attribution on the flip. I also note the acquired price and my estimated value with a date. Maybe with time our specimens will grow in interest and value. Welcome to our expanding hobby!

 

Looking at Coppercoins pricing, your coin is worth around $2. Not bad for a one cent investment.

 

I ran into a snag. Can't get anyone to fish the coins out of the toilet.

 

The Urinal is easier

 

Nice 51D wheat cent.

 

Just stuck your hand in. With all that water you'll know. Wash with soap when completed.
