Penny pinching
Not for the cashless
When I get change from cash not often but sometimes, i look at dates on penny’s not going find and silver coin older than 65. But found 1959 dated penny. That’s long time in circulation. Any date hounds find any older? |

Starting around 1950, my mother would go to the bank every year and buy 100 new pennies. I guess she thought they would be worth something some day. But, when she died, I found out that they really weren't worth much more than one cent each. She did have about 50 silver dollars from the early 1920's that were worth about $35 each.

I routinely save the "wheat" pennies. Some are worth a bit more than their face value but not a lot. I did get a couple of 1903 indianhead pennies for change once about 30 years ago.
But I always check. There are still about half a million 1909 SVDB Lincoln Pennies still in circulation and as the price for those starts at about $500... |
