Ya that last penny was a sad story , But this one is really toned I like it , Not worth anything but a penny still kinda nice

Seems like the early zinc cents toned up nice. I have a few 83/84s that are nicely toned.

Wow! That parking lot looks amazing!

Something I picked up recently for one of my year sets, no time to image it yet so the GC photos for now.

 

Very nice! San Frans are always nice pick ups and the + & FB round it out nicely. Congrats!

Thank you my friend. It's gonna take me a while. I been trying to get one a week if I can. It may be a few weeks before I can get any more. I hit a deer in our van and tore it up pretty bad. I had to buy another one like it. Gonna take 2 and make one. Only had liability insurance on it. This suburban we been driving is a gas guzzler so trying to get another work rig lined out. 

Sounds like the perfect candidate for a sweet flame job.

This one brought me down to 148 in the registry. Slowly getting closer to completing the set I'm working on. I got the 63d in ms66+ a few days ago. 

Very nice brother. Keep hammering.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. These look like your typical circulated Lincoln cents. Looks like they have some PMD or post mint damage. I see nothing particularly special about any of them.

Oh well. Still a cool piece. 

You know I like it. Thats a beauty!

I just remembered that I took this picture recently of my shelf in my office at work. The AT’d nickels on the top shelf on the left in the capital plastic holder are from an AT vs NT exhibit I made at the request of Jamie Frankie, the artist that designed the westward journey Buffalo nickels that I AT’d, for one of his coin art gallery exhibits. He was an honorary member of the Charlotte Coin Club and the first time he came to our club meeting I gave him a set just like it. He liked it so much he asked me to create the AT vs NT display and he put them in the coin art gallery. This was about 15 years ago and the colors haven’t changed.

 

 

That is a very cool story. Thanks for sharing.

The 1920 is very nice! I am a big fan of the woodgrain cents. The others are nice as well. Good eye.

Hello so I’m new to this whole app and not sure how to use it but I got it to ask questions about my grandparents coin collection,I have no idea what some coins are and how much there worth and thought this app will help me,can you tell me if there’s a way I can post the collection on here or some coins on here ?

 

 

Welcome to the forum. The best thing for you to do would be to start your own thread in the newbie forum and post clear, cropped and properly oriented pics of both sides of the coins in question. There are many people who can help you here.

Yikes! Those imitations are U-G-L-Y !

(PS: Copper is not a precious metal and purity is not expressed in thousandths.)

They were free, which made them good experimental pieces. Those were the “good” looking ones.

The early Bust Halves sometimes have centering dots that are visible and can help identify a marriage. This is an O-110 with centering dots on both sides, one in the middle of the neck, the other in the upper left side of the shield.

Ok I do believe I found it on the reverse. Thanks again for your help.

You are on your way to a better hobby, if chasing Overton numbers doesn’t drive you crazy first. If you become a specialist, there is a national club for these pieces, the Bust Half Nut Club.

Like I said, I think I got lucky starting with this one. I’m sure many others are a real beast to attribute. I did do a little perusing through the Bust Half Nut Club website. I could easily get into Bust Halves. Very interesting. Thanks.

Too bad I wasted my time on the other thread!

Sorry. I just didn’t want to keep going on with my stuff on that other thread. Thanks for your help though. Appreciate it.

This is always a date I'm happy to pay the $15 variety plus fee!  I believe this is reverse U (right side of T and left side of I in line, center line of stripe 5 extending through 4 crossbars along with several other lines extending to crossbars 2 and 3).  So with reverse U that narrows it to O-126 or O-127.  I can't tell from the images whether or not the requisite die cracks are there below the lower curl and across the base of 182.  I am leaning toward this being obverse 4, which would make this an O-127, an R-5.  Of course this is just an opinion based on images and my eyesight isn't what it used to be!

I believe I have figured this one out. I posted another thread on this coin in the newbie forum. It is O-126 R2 Obverse 19 Reverse U. The chip in the lower curl is there as well as the crack in 182 along with the other markers you mentioned. Thank you.

Nice lot. Looks like they snuck a couple mint tokens in there on you.

Very sorry to hear about your mother. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I’m sure this group could come up with more pennies than you can imagine.

Glad you were able to get them. Congrats brother.
