Hi all,
Haven't posted much lately, but I'm still sorting slowly. Some of you who have joined in the last 6 months may not know me. I'd like to say "Howdy!" to all the new people!

I found some interesting things today. First, a 2011 penny with a blue and white sticker on the back that said "Department of Agriculture" around the edge and had a symbol in the middle. Anyone else found one of these?

Then a 1978-D penny that's a DOUBLE clipped planchet. It's got some discoloration on it, but it's still cool. No idea what it's worth.

Found a 2008 penny that has a cud on the memorial building between two pillars.

Also, an Indiana stamped penny! I've found a bunch of states, but not my home state until now! Boo-ya! :mrgreen:

I had a hard time getting good pics. In the pictures are two single clipped planchet pennies, the double clipped I mentioned above, the "Agriculture" penny, the 2008 with a cud on the reverse (hard to see), and a 1941-D wheat penny that I can't figure out. Can anyone help me out with it? There's a thin metal "blob" on the reverse and I can't tell what happened to it. No, it's not some type of glue or adhesive or anything like that. I'm almost positive it's metal.
