RWC III Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Ive got 69 of these steel wheat pennys. Am I supposed to be searching for a specific one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKK Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Not really. Look for those that appear replated, re-zinced, whizzed, or otherwise unnatural. There are three issues and none are rare, though high quality original uncs can be hard to find. They tended to tone up very dark grey, like those 'anthracite' football uniforms that look stupid on any team whose normal colors don't include grey. Just at a glance, some of those look like they might be rather nice. Common worn ones will be worth more than 42 or 44 cents of similar quality, but not enormous amounts more. I've bought them in bulk for 8c each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 There are a few doubled dies and re-punched mint marks that you might want to look for. Check our host's Variety Plus listings. Link Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 To my eye, potentially the nicest one may be at the far right, second row from the top. It may be in the MS range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWC III Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Sorry for poor picture. Ive got 3 full pages of flips for these. Some are really nice.

Rummy13 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I for one am loving your papaws collection. No I don't collect a lot of what he has left you but the knowledge I am getting from the other people is fantastic. Please keep showing coins. Remember they may not be worth lots of money but think of how much fun you are having and the thoughts the coin bring back of your papaw. Did see your 9 year old is helping too? Maybe what is worth a little today might be worth a lot to her kids someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not worth my time to sell honestly. Its fun to identify these coins. I do remember my papaw served in korea, and he took a trip to Isreal in the 70's. So that kind of explains some of these coins. My 9 year old son is really enjoying the history. My 7 year old just wants to karate kick the 9 year old, he has no interest in coins.
