Wheat pennies?

Buffalo nickles with visible date are about the rarest circulated coins out there because they were so soft.

Try finding a 1916-1924 quarter with a readable date. Even most of the ones I see dug up from old sites have the date worn off.

I have a few in my penny side table and an envelope of them somewhere..

A couple years ago I got a 1944 Nickel out of a change machine at HEB. It’s made of Steel. Probably not worth much but I put it in my small pile of “things that may be worth something one day”.

I have three big jars of change I want to dig through now.

If you have a 1944 nickel made of steel it would be worth a LOT.

From mid 1942-1945 they were made of 35% silver because nickel was needed for the war effort. Same reason 1943 cents were made of steel...they needed the copper. From 1944-1946 a lot of spent shell cases were recycled and turned into pennies.

I got a 1916 in change a few weeks back
Oldest I have found

While tilling in the garden I found a 1859 half dime. I didn't know they existed. It has a bent edge and hole in it so the value is minimal. I put it up somewhere and it is real safe because I can't find it.

I need to get more knowledgeable about this stuff. Especially since I'm already digging through change anyway I might as well know something about it so I somewhat know what I'm looking at besides the obvious.

I’m gonna get it and I’ll take a picture of it.

I save them. And nickels. And any other weird coins.

Really...thinking ive got some?

[okrattler]

I'm gonna dig some of my coins out of storage and take a look at them. I have some my great grandpa had but I've never seen any others like them. Don't know anything about them.

I hope you found a 1944 nickel struck on a steel cent planchet. Very few have been found and they are quite valuable.
