Jade Collection Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 that type of double holder is neat, wish NGC would allow this for non bulk submissions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNMAN Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Very cool way to display. Wish we had more such options available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeav Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I remember a '43 copper selling for 8 grand in the late 70's.That was real money then...... If you were to use the so-called 'rule of seven', which states that an investment should double in value every seven years (don't ask me),these coins should be worth a half million by now......

RWB Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 There were two slightly different cent alloys used in 1942. Adopting the "stuck in tote bin" theory, the options are: 95% copper 3% zinc and 2% tin, or 95% copper 4.9% zinc and 0.1% ("a trace") of tin. However, some 1942 cents show no tin, but I do not know the level of care taken in making the measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbbpll Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Prepare for some serious disappointment, Douglas. Where on earth did you see a 1984 DDO sell for $80k? The auction record on Heritage is $3910, for an MS68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
