Every wheatie is worth saving regardless of partial dates due to their high copper content. On the Periodic Chart chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, gallium... appear to be closest in weight. Some elements can be ruled out as unsuitable but I am sure the mettalurgists and advisors to the Mint know this. One thing is certain... the Lincoln Cent as we have come to know it is obsolete, expensive to make, and unsustainable in its present composition. I found seven on the subways alone yesterday and predict its discontinuance is inevitable. Coinbuf's collection is magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Awesome Rocket...Congrats! Wheats are fun. Slabbed coins give great protection and professional presentation to your collection. I think they are fun - it's all fun. May you always look at it with enjoyment.

It's got a rarely seen left profile of the President, a denomination, and best of all, a date that, if memory serves, precedes the laying of the cornerstone of the U.S. Mint. A beautiful piece. (My uneducated guess is this is neither a coin or medal but an experimental pattern.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollo Tomassi Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Collector's Corner lists it in the Colonials group. Separately though as "Washington Pieces." I liked the eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I really do like this one but my quicky slab shots don't do it much justice. Here are some close ups which Mark Goodman shot that are much better. Although ANACS called it red I would say the color is mellowed enough that red/brown is more accurate.
