FREE: 100 Wheat Leaf Pennies & 1 Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel

what is the date range on the pennies? and do you have P D and S minted coins?

the tin pennies are made of steel, are they 1943 or 1944?

awesome auction already a fan and watching =)

the steel pennies are rare they were use due to the shortage of copper since the copper was being use for bullet shell in ww2 plus after the war a lot of them were taken back to the us mint an d destroyed

the steel ones are not rare at all they are cool to look at but not very expensive unless they are 1944 the copper 1943 pennies are rare. they accidentally made some so there is not very many around the world .

only the 1943 copper is rare there was only about 100 or so that got out before they stopped them and they are worth about $400.000 today my grandpa was a coin grader just last year one in almost ment sold for over $1000000 thats how bad people wont them

There were over 1 Billion 1943 Steel Pennies made. In many years, a similar amount of pennies were made. By those numbers, the steel penny isn't rare. However, if you figure that there have been Multi-Billions of pennies made before and since 1943 and 0 were steel, I guess that declares the 1943 steel penny as rare. On average, based on the red book values, steel pennies are worth no more than most copper wheat pennies dated 1930-1959. No matter what the grade. As far as the rare 1943 Copper penny. There were approx 40 made. They were technically Bronze. A few were actually made with silver. Few people know of the 1944D Steel penny (1 sold for 58,000 a couple of years ago) and the 1959 Wheat penny. Wheat pennies were supposed to stop production in 1958, but a few were made with the date 1959.

Oh, I completely forgot to ask the question, which was my purpose for looking at this auction. What is the date on the nickel?

If you are referring to the nickel, the date is the first detail to fade away. It is normally near the rim at the base of the neck on the indian. If you can't see it, it is most likely very worn, or completely gone. Most coins are dated in the same location except the new quarters (dated on back), dollar coins (dated on edge) and all pennies 1909 to present (dated to the right of lincoln). Oh and some more tid bits about some coins. The presidential and sacagewea dollar coins are only gold color, they have 0% gold. The Eisenhower (IKE) and Susan B Anthony (SBA) dollar coins that are referred to as Silver Dollars...They have no silver unless they are special proofs. Hope this helps
