Oddbean new post about login | logout Not really... 1911 US wheat penny but only if it shows up in my possession by accident 😅 Curious about the 2nd one down though.. what is that?
What about this one? https://i.nostr.build/qK46EldkY861RpHC.jpg
Oh that's cool! You've got some awesome specimens
I think this is the oldest coin I've ever found in the wild. https://i.nostr.build/DMsBS5ICegqlekt8.jpg
My dad gave me one as a little kid. Steel pennies are a neat find too - not really worth a whole lot, but it’s wild to run across one. No one even knows they existed for one year way back when copper was used for bullets.
The steel pennies tell a sad story, huh?
Apparently I have a 1904 dawn. & 2 years of steel pennies? https://i.nostr.build/1toLnLiv3s5CNlg3.jpg
Take those 1944 steel Pennie’s to a coin dealer and see what they’re worth. Might be winner https://www.coinvaluechecker.com/how-much-is-a-1944-steel-penny-worth/
Yeah, just minted in 1943 to save copper for ammunition. I found one while making change for a customer a couple years ago and explained it to him and you would have thought I was interpreting a Sanskrit poem. He was floored when I said it wasn’t worth more than a couple cents.
Traded some silver for this one. 1835! https://image.nostr.build/2eb5814a7c6040698377b3363c67d68cbb44a7a296fbc05f9ba65e3c091ac3bc.jpg
So cool.
I also got a Romanian AK 47 for some silver 🤌 https://image.nostr.build/71d408b050618ae2e86bbf82930cd6e2a9dc87d2259a57f53f2e1173bb14862f.jpg
Woah, you ever buy /trade junk silver?
Not junk silver, mostly 1 oz coins from reputable mints and stuff a buddy finds with his metal detector.
I think I have about a pound of coins dated 1905-1960
