Pressed Pennies

[GA-Silver]

Does anyone here collect pressed/elongated pennies?

I have a couple if somebody wants them.

[dakota1955]

I save them because I find them in the bags of coins that I go through. Just nice to see the different places that they come from.

[NDFarmer]

I find them in my bags also. I keep wondering how they make it through the counter without jamming it up.

[jasmatk]

I also have some but I dont seek them out.Why do you ask are you trying to sell some?

[kagarise]

i have a collection of about 500 of them give or take.
acctualy planning a trip to san fransico just to get all the ones out that way.
thats how i found out about sorting because if you use a zinc the whole thing turns out ugly as sin

I just started collecting them a couple of months back. Actually, I picked up 4 pressed pennies today while visiting The Chattanooga Choo-Choo!

I have three. My favorite was found in the gravel of a campsite on the Natchez Trace Parkway on a motorcycle tour on my '80 'Zuki 550. It's an elongated, pressed, penny from the Memphis Zoo. Unfortunately it's pressed on a Zincer.

My favorite is one I taped to the railroad track behind my apartment...actually two. One for me and one for my son. The only writing on it says: Compliments of Union Pacific

I have quite a few.. mostly copper of course. I even have a couple from the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles.

I love finding these.I too wonder how they pass the counters.When I go to the parks now I make sure to have some shiny coppers and plenty of quarters.

I'm looking for the rest of mine...got your address.....GA Silver...be on the look-out! A package will be coming!

[Lemon Thrower]

GA, check out the ATL zoo and Stone mountain park.

once you start saving them, you see them everywhere.

they are a remarkable inexpensive souvenir at only 51 cents.

if any of you guys have local places to get them from i'd be willing to trade chicago ones for them haha always looking to add to my collection

Carter's, from the old forum, son collected them. I would send him small flat rate boxes full about every other month or so. She never made it over to the new forum though . Now I sit here with a coffee can full!

[spjegues]

I only get them in Half bags or rolls. No other coins have produced any. I have gotten about 10 or so of them . My last one was in a roll of half's.

Simply send me a PM and we can work something out.

Try to grab these whenever I stumble across a machine. Found the passport keeper for them at a truck stop there is a website if anyone is interested.

Just a cheap hobby as others said 51 cents and it doesn't need dusted
