(3) 2013 U.S. Cent(s)!

That's right, three. And they all came in early April which means I got them a month earlier than the 2012 one I got last year, which was my first 2012 coin. They came right on time, too, as I just filled up my 50 coin roll of 2012 cents, all of which are UNC, one of which has a D mint mark. So now I can end my hoarding of 2012 cents and begin my hoarding of 2013 cents. I just hope I get a 2013-D earlier than the 2012-D. The above coins are worth just $0.01.

2009-(P) Formative Years Lincoln Cent!

I got this in my change over a week ago. Not much to say about it other than it features a young Lincoln reading while taking a break from rail splitting. It was designed and sculpted by Charles Vickers, and released on May 14, 2009. This is the third or fourth one of these I've found so while they haven't circulated as well as most coins, they have circulated well. With all that circulating comes wear, scratches, and tarnish which makes this coin worth about $0.10.

MADE IN CHINA

Got this in change. The shiny sticker caught my eye and what do you know it's a "MADE IN CHINA" sticker. Not much to say about the coin other than it's probably the one of the only things left in America that wasn't made in China. Pretty neat, though.

1944-(P) & 1944-D Licoln Cents!

Yay! More actual finds! Well, one of them at least. The 1944-(P) (the one on the right) I found sometime last year and the 1944-D (the one on the left) I bought in a lot. They are both common dates/mint marks with the exception of the 1944-D/S and the magnetic 1944 cents made with 1943 planchets. They are both worth $0.10-$0.20. Today's background is an Ace Ventura movie case.

First Harvest!

This is the first wheat cent I have had so far this year thus the title. Its a 1954-D Lincoln Wheat Cent a.k.a. Wheat Penny. I found it earlier today along with another 2012 $0.01 coin (I'm up to 8 now) and some common change. It is worth only $0.03-$0.05 because the reverse is really scratched up and worn.

2012 is Finally Here!

My fisrt 2012 coin has finally arrived. Here's my 2012-(P) Lincoln Cent. I got it yesterday but couildn't post due to internet problems. It's only worth $0.01.

***UPDATE***
I now have 16 of these cents. All are still worth just $0.01.

6 Months!

It's been 6 months since my first post and I have shown coins old, rare, new, common, silver, steel, copper, nickel, and everything in between. I found my first silver coin in change after years of waiting and got some coins I could've wiated for. So far this year I have added 4 new bills and over 25 new coins to my collection (not including pre-1982 Lincoln Cents and 1964 nickels.) I have had an awesome 6 months and can't wait to see what the next six hold. Happy Hunting!

I'm seeing double!

No I'm  not talking about having too much to drink. I'm talking about the 3 in 1953 which is doubled. This variety goes for about $6.00 although there is a variety that can go for hundreds but the whole date must be doubled. Хаппы ирли Тхакнсгивинг!
