STATE PENNIES!!!

[uthminsta]

I wasn't sure where to put this thread... here, or in tracking, or even in the wanted section. Because I would actually like to get more of these, but would rather the main focus be on the coolness factor. So let's get to the coolness.



Okay, that's what I have. Have you found any of these state pennies in your searches? Do you keep them? Wanna show off some pics?

[Cytic]

Very cool. Were these done for all states?

[henrysmedford]

You can get the whole set for $10 on Ebay with frame see -- http://compare.ebay.com/like/150829172641?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

[HoardCopperByTheTon]

Very cool! I have about half a dozen states so far. Sure you could buy em on eBay.. but where would the challenge be in that?

[Double3]

Funny I have a NV sitting at my desk.

[henrysmedford]

Here are the ones we have found in rolls.

Discussion can can continue here certainly. I've created a new tracking thread for those members that would like to post their finds.

[uthminsta]

Yeah, thanks Country. I think it's probably best that we either use just the thread in the tracking forum, or we merge them.

Have a couple in my current auction.

****auction ends tonight!****

These are kinda neat! I've never seen one in the wild so far. I found a penny with a small head on it...I think it was Kennedy.

[everything]

I found the one with Kennedy head as well, don't know where that one came from but probably some kind of kennedy set. Last penny like this I found was Alaska, and they go into a tube labeled "stamped pennies"

[scyther]

So how do these come into existence? I've found a few so far, but I thought they came bored people stamping coins. I never thought they were officially sanctioned or worth anything...

I have mine sitting in a little pile of pennies that aren't worth anything but are interesting for some reason or another; weirdly colored, stamped, extremely corroded, etc...

FYI..... I've seen the Kennedy head stamped on the Lincon head penny and being sold as a novelty. It is sold with a listing and description of the two presidents' coincidental similarities in their personal lives, presidential terms and assasinations, etc.
