Taking a closer look at the coin, I did find this. It's just like some sort of oxidation correct?

Unless it was on the wrong plancet

Zinc coated steel was used only in 

No actual silver for penny correct? That's my question

After the 1964 silver proof set in cellophane wrapper there was the 65 clad in the same type wrapper. Then 66 and 67 SMS set in the straight plastic holders and then the 1968 clad proof set was the first rectangle plastic holders  

Dont you mean steel? I've never heard of a silver penny at all.

Bad lighting sorry. Used my phone for pics

Never thought I would do it, but broke down and bought the 2000s quarter set. Proof. Look good to you? Didnt look for any errors or anything, they are just pretty coins.

1964 was the last year of the silver Proof set in the manila envelope.

Do you not mean last year for steel strike; or am I mistaken? It is I very well maybe mistaken. I was just wanting clarification please and ty.

I have never seen a business strike as nice as this one, for its age. Along with a proof for that matter unless it was still in plastic or in a small showcase box set online. Hope this time I asked the right questions, because I recieved all positive responses.

@TridmnYes Sir, they are awfully pretty. Bright Red! I would probably put them into a binder for keeps myself. 

That's where they intend to go, more or less. Have my coins I am keeping indefinitely in the plastic cases so they don't move. Have to keep the past preserved right?

Ty all for the comments. Hope you didnt "waste" your time looking at these pennies. All responses were most helpful.

@TridmnI did not look myself, but there is an FS Variety DDR for the 1964 that you might look for. 

Ty Karen. I certainly will. Either way though they are beautiful coins. Probably keep them even if there is an error. 2 64s full red. Couldn't ask for much more from just 2 pennies. Especially that year, plus to have 2 different strikes, just makes my day

That's why I asked. I needed some confirmation as to my own thoughts. 

Even if both are just regular pennies, they are both in great shape. Good to add to my collection.

Were the proofs made in philly at the time? I thought they would have come from SF.

From the pics, the top one looks like a proof and the bottom is a business strike.  No SMS coins there.  The "1964 SMS" issue is a controversial one but regardless of the controversy, a "1964 SMS", if it exists at all, isn't going to be anything you would just find out in the wild.  You have a perfectly normal proof and a perfectly normal business strike.

Man.... if only that chart of yours contained the "8th" almost unattainable example....... for $6.95 that would have been a heck of a bargain!!!!!  Seriously though, that is a great teaching tool to have for new folks to learn the differences of the 1982 transitional types of Cents, that is, if you are a Lincoln type fanatic (like me). Very neat and I believe well worth the $7 bucks (got to add in the shipping cost though...) for newcomers to have in their hands to see the differences.  Thanks for sharing James! 

Very nice set. And ty for be honest and open to give me an insight.

SMS or business strike? 2 different coins.

Do you have questions about these?

Not any questions. I just thought it was neat to find them in some coins I had already checked

Just wanted to show you what I found. Some may even be considered a fed/red-brown.

Thoughts or comments please. (WITHOUT ANY NRGATIVITY)  please. I dont like it, or too blurry; I can understand. 

OLDER BOB ROSS this pertains to you.

1951, and 2 53"s found them in pennies I had already looked through. 1st one I will get a better pic of.

1982D, my apologies.

As per the Gov't, should they weigh 2,5 or 3.1?

I wanna see the 63d again, nothing super up close, just normal coin pics front and back.

I mean if you wanna

PS : they don't delete around here, so it's time to fix it.

I will find the 63 d and make a new post of it. Sound good? May take me a few days though as I have probably close to 3500 pennies in different containers in my room

Thank you for all the helpful info. I didnt want to zoom in too close with scope as some people find it wrong to do; I'm sure everyone knows who I'm referring to. So first pics were with phone only. Sorry for blurriness.

Upom further inspection with scope and not phone, it is in fact a WAM. My apologies.
