State Lincoln Pennies

Postby Country » Thu Sep 27, 2012 7:45 am

IN 2024, PLEASE REPORT YOUR LINCOLN STATE PENNIES RIGHT HERE

This is for 'true finds" only - coins found in change, rolls, or bags at face value only (not from purchases).

Image

Please post your "State Penny" finds right here. There were a number of different complete sets of the state pennies, the 1975 set probably the most common.

The ones you buy don't count, only the ones you find sorting. I've found a few of these myself, and they really are cool. Let's see if we can find all 50 states.

Data includes all posts September 29, 2016 8:40 pm forum time and earlier (2012-2017 finds are included).

I thought someone had stamped these themselves :oops: I have found, and still have, buried in my coppers a Nevada. What year I am not sure of though. I can't remember the other states I have seen. If I run into anymore I will be sure to post it here and send it to you for Franklins "keepers".

As stated in the original thread, I have found 4 so far: Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, and most recently Utah (just a few days ago). That was what got me thinking it would be fun to start a thread of them.

1974-D=AK
1975-D=OH

I remember posting the AK on a counterstamped coin thread on this forum somewhere. I've been looking for it, but can't seem to locate it. I found the AK a couple months ago. I found the OH a couple weeks ago. EDIT: Found the thread--Job III had started the thread in the USA numismatics forum. A lot of neat counterstamps there!

I've got a VA and a (non-state) Masonic one.

I had others from early on hand-sorting but just bagged them - wish I had kept them out.

whoever owns these state embosses must have done many over the years. i have a set of all fifty states rolled onto 1990 pennies. they were a GIFT from a friend who works in a coin shop. they were part of an estate they purchased. would not usually have kept them not being pre 82 pennies and all but it is a complete set and kind of cool.

the only stamped ones i ahve ever found in a roll had kennedy's face and one with the outline of the continental united states. will see if i can get a friend over with a camera to post pics.
