Cent Coin
3 Great Joys Of Collecting Coins
That is, the Old ones. Try to look under the old cupboard, or up the loft where grandmother or grandfather's things might be cached away with patience awaiting you to reveal them all. Who knows, you may find a coin there, an aged coin that - at present - may worth some dollars; probably 3 or 4 or 5, even 10 times the coin's was back then.
1. A cent a day, is deserving
Luckily or unluckily, there was a deficit of copper on 1943 and all coins made at that point of time were coined using steel. However, there were some Lincoln coins which were incorrectly minted using bronze that came out to be the blanks. A couple of years - or even some decades later -these types of bronze coins became rare and are worthy. The steel ones, since they are common, are worth in between one to 3 dollars only.
Be careful and be on one's guard as there are systems where naive numismatologists are traded coins which are plated with copper in an effort to make these coins look like bronze. Also, be aware at anytime when someone gives you and circa 1943 coin made up of white metallic alloy.
2. Old is good
Coins, especially the Silver Dollars which were made and spread during 1878 and 1935, are worth between 12 dollars and 25 dollars for the spread coins. The coins that are not circulated now are worth more.
Meantime, the quarters, dimes, or fifty-cent coins made and distributed before 1965, are commonly made out of 90 percent silver and so worth as very much like present day's silver (with an extra premium, albeit minuscule, put on the penny's nominal value).
3. Wrong is right
There's a Lincoln Cent issued during 1972 in which the letters and the date on it appear to be doubled. This uncommon coin is presently worth about 60 dollars, presuming the coins are in acceptable condition. The Mint of Philadelphia during that time misaligned the die, which was used in coining the coins making the portrait of Abraham Lincoln to look like, doubled, accidentally. Luckily or unluckily, 80 thousand of these coins were diffused before the fault was known.
In compact, numismatics is similar to accumulating trivia and bits of history from the ancient times. In summation to the nominal value it’s valuable as a treasure - coins, dimes and pennies - often are more valuable in the longer run.
