I have a heap of old pennies (back to the 30s and 40s I think)...always wondered if theyre worth anything

I got a little bit. Steel pennies, some Susan B. Anthony's, nothing special. Ive recently started collecting major newspaper headlines. When my Grandma died i found a 1963 paper from when JFK was shot so that got me started in it

My dad has all the papers from when John Lennon was shot. I should get them framed or something.

To think...he took 4 or 5 bullets and not a single could hit Yoko Ono. If there is a God he is a cruel being

Mostly 10-15 cents unless you get lucky. I have about $200 worth in pennys and not one over worth over 25 cents. Old pennys are worth more right now as scrap copper.



I lucked out and found a 1964 dime in my pocket last night, woo hoo.

I get so excited when I get a pre 1964 coin , my wife just looks at me like somethings wrong with me . But she hates my collection being here in our house , so I went to the bank today to get a safety deposit box , And it only costs 25 bucks a year . So now I just have to inventory everything and say good bye for now .

I love finding silver. It was in pretty good shape but still only worth silver price. I enjoy getting mine out and playing with them too much to have them locked up somewhere besides my house.
