In 1948, the Philadelphia mint struck many wheat pennies, amounting to 317,570,000. The high mintage makes the data easily accessible. That said, many coins do not guarantee quality, as is the case with the 1948-P pennies. Lower-grade pennies are plentiful, but these are only slightly mor...
1988, it went back to being a mint, which is part of the reason these pennies draw so much attention. The perfect grade, PR 70 DCAM, sold for $1,438 in 2004. For PCGS, Deep Cameo is the highest grade while NGC’s is Ultra Cameo. ...
In 1980, the Mint was striking pennies at four different facilities: Philadelphia, Denver, West Point and San Francisco. The West Point mint struck Lincoln cents for 12 years, but these days it’s used mainly for commemorative coins. Of the coins produced for circulation, only those struck in...
Steps #1 and #2 can be done in 2 days. But step #3 will take you anywhere from 2 months to 2 years. It all depends on how many items you starred in your food journal, and how much sugar intake your family (and you!) are willing to change. Start with the easiest item to fix ...
In a pile ofloose change, pennies seem to always get left behind. Many people won’t bother to pick one up if they see it lying in the street. But some pennies are worth far more than their face value, and others have a potentially greater value, too. ...
The older "Wheat-back" pennies are about 3.1 grams and the newer ones 2.5-2.6 grams I think, so weighing a bunch of pennies at a time and dividing to find how many dollars worth you have won't work very accurately to count the pennies unless you have a fair knowledge of how much of...
One of my favorite stories about this goes back to the “No Meat” part. Many people (including probably several who are reading this post) either are or know someone who just can’t have a dinner without meat being involved. I am here to tell you that it IS possible to have dinner ...
But back in 1971, the image on the reverse was the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. It had first been introduced on the pennies struck in 1959. Before that, the image had been two ears of durum wheat. The Lincoln Memorial continued to be used until four new commemorative reverses were ...
Since the Denver mint produced 350,400,000 bicentennial pennies in 2009, their value is pretty modest. However, it is always many times higher than their face value. A piece in an MS 67 grade with the D mint mark typically costs $30. On the other hand, you can find the 2009 D Linco...
such as the 1981 S Type 1 and 1981 Double Struck Penny Errors. Additionally, any penny with a special error or mint mark can also be worth more than its face value. Overall, however, most 1981 pennies are not considered rare but rather common and are still worth just 1 cent in circulat...
