Figured Id post my Wheat Penny Collection for you all.
Found my collections of mis struck 1957 pennies.
To the best I can find, I have the largest collection of the messed up 57's, and there isnt much I can find about these out there. I got these from my mother in law, who has had them for who knows how long, with about 30-35 other wheat pennies in a jar she gave to me for Christmas one year.
In case most of you have never seen or heard of a Wheat penny, or seen quite as many in one big pile
Wanna buy a penny? Its a Dollar, JKING, dont think Id ever sell off my Pennies, I like to pull out my pennies and just put them on the table and look at them, this time I took some shots for cleaning up that many pennies, depending on where I dumped them out at, can be a pain to pick back up. im sure I have some in there worth a lot, for the most part, Id say a good 80% or so are almost like new, with all the details of the design on them crisp and clean.
And then I got a set of them not pictured, about 10-12 of them all from one year that have been struck wrong, where the some of the 9's in the 1957, and all of the b's in Liberty, is filled in from a misstruck in the same place on every single one. I cant remember where the hell I put them though, the joys of my condition, but if they show up I will take pics of them too, if anyone cares to see them.
