Can anyone explain how this coin could get this way its bubbled out

Can anyone tell me bout this penny? It weighs 2.8 grams.  It doesnt stick to a magnet

I'm not really sure what it means but I sent them 4 appraisal .. n heritage auction wants to discuss more about the 1991.. so fingers crossed.  The other three they gave me the true value . I accidently erased their email. So patiently waiting

can anyone tell me about the year. I can't find any info any where. uploading a picture soon

I agree with @Greenstang and @Mohawk as stated above. On a side note, I'm loving the other 1943 Steel Cents you have pictured (I'm a diehard Lincoln fan).  Just wondering where these steelies may have come from, or if you have examined them closely, as a tremendous amount of steel Cents have been reprocessed (not saying yours are, can't tell from your pics).  Reprocessed means re-plated or over-plated with a new shiny zinc coating to make them look new again.  

they are mine. I have had them for a long time. they never really been out of the case... I'm about to start getting rid of my coins so if your interested let me know I'll put a better picture up

I have a 1991 penny looks like steel weighs 2.8.   but didn't stick to a magnet can any one tell me about it please nb thank you

Oh I love that... And the best part about that is.. That it remains there...untouched.. With dreams and beliefs of people from around the world... You could not have that here. And that is sad cause we have so much  freedom and resources that they do not have. But someone would steal it here before the process began... Sorry didn't mean to drift off..I would love to hear some of the stories behind those coins.. Thanks for sharing

Happy to help.  I got pretty heavy into foreign coins a couple years ago.  Now it's the majority of what I buy.  So much variety and it's fun doing the research.

You read it right. Not a single 2019 quarter all year, from circulation. I have the ones I bought from the mint, but only those.

I'll add that he was librarian for the Chicago Tribune, so some of the coins may have been from journalists stationed overseas or returning from assignments, which of course would not have been a common avenue for most collectors.

@Lisae228, how did you obtain yours? I also enjoy the holed coins. I have one from the Dutch Indies 1939 and a few Thai satangs.

My mother is from Vietnam. And my dad worked for Lockheed .  So the combination of them both bringing things here helped.. Also my brother n law is from New Zealand and the rest I'm just collected thru the years..I had alot of coins prior to Katrina... But lost them during the storm.. Somebody out there are finding them I hope...I lost allot of coins my grandpa saved for me and that I've held on to since I was a kid...i collected them but was young n did not read up on any until now..

That's awesome. Thank u

Wow. Thanks allot y'all.. Pretty cool... They are still in great shape for me lol.. Will look into those links thanks again

Any info about these coins would be great....I have alot of foreign coins that I just started looking thru...but I don't what to start trying to figure them out b4 I get a grasp on others.. but these were different n interesting so had to ask... thank yall

Well I've got at least 10 1996-W dimes, two each of all three finishes of the 2019-W cents, but as of today, I've still never encountered even one 2019 quarter in circulation from any mint, P,D,S, or W. And I'm just up the rail line in Harrisburg.

Did I read this wrong VKurtB...No 2019 quarters at all?

I am planning to go, if I can finesse a scheduling conflict. Another member here, CoinsandMedals, lives in Oxford, so I am going to see if he can make it, as well. As far as criteria - bring money. Admission is free, although, since it is at the coliseum, there may be a parking fee, but you are almost certain to find something you want to buy .Probably many things. The choices range from colonials to moderns, with some ancients, foreign, tokens, medals, and paper money thrown in for good measure. Plus, you can usually find plenty of collecting supplies and reference books.

Keep in mind what I said about the dealers, though, and don't expect all of them to be all cheery. Coin dealers, for some reason, are a different sort of breed. While some can be the nicest people you would ever want to meet, many seem to be lacking in certain people skills, and some are real curmudgeons, to put it nicely. Based on only a few times dealing with him, I would put the dealer you met somewhere in the middle.

 

It's ok.  I can get along with anyone..lol I'm really excited to purchase some books coins etc...

Actually, if it is the dealer I am thinking of,  I recently bought a few coins and tokens from his shop. 

I have found that many coin dealers are lacking in certain social skill. This particular guy is not so bad, once you have spent some time talking to him. I imagine he gets a lot of people coming by, convinced that they have found the coin that will fund their retirement, and he may have thought you were another one of those.

The Mississippi Numismatic Association show is the first weekend in May in Biloxi.  You should try to make it.

If u are in there area..a gentleman brought in a whole tray of silver coins yesterday into that shop... Just throwing that out there

Ok. Probably same one.   And he seems very kind.. Just really short.. But I get it.. Living here I'm sure he gets allot of people who have lost, also trying to make quick money... But yes that's my birthday week...I will definitely make that show... Will be my first ever. So I'm pretty excited now.. Thank you.. Will u be attending?  Is their a certain criteria to go?

I'll agree with the others - keep it but don't grade it.

If you'd found it early on you might have been able to cash in but that fad / craze faded fast.

Had it when it was all crazy lol.  But didn't want to part with it...

Yes sir I do.....lol.  about 20 minutes away.. Did the (y'all )give it away also.. N I found it a few months ago. N put it to the side..I don't plan on selling it lol.  But I  still wanted to know what others thought..  the dealer in Biloxi wasn't friendly n I guess thought I needed the money and I just wanted some advice.. So I knew I would get honesty n good advice here... Thank y'all so much

opinions on the newer quarter? I went to a coin dealer near me today, which is located between a few casinos and he seemed very shady.. What would u do if u found one..grade it?keep it? Sell it?

The copper has not "faded", it has had another metal plated over the copper.  You see that raised lump in the field between Lincoln's eye and the S in Trust?  That is a plating bubble underneath the original copper plating.  If this had been a non-plated zinc planchet (or any other material) the field would have been smooth and lustrous.  But copper plated zinc planchets often have bubbles under the plating.  This coin had a noticeable one and it is still noticeable after another layer was plated over it.
