Nope---1909 s vdb , and maybe 3 more are the only pennies I'm missing from years ago when I collected pennies, nickels and dimes. About a month ago I got a steel 1943 penny in change. Why it was still in circulation is anyones guess. I would say some kid got into his grandpa's coin collection. Back in about the mid 90's I got a dozen or so Mercury dimes at a bank on my route.

I'm very familiar with BC. Your statement is accurate. The problem is in 2010 I would have been next to impossible to get your hands on $100.00 worth. The avenues to purchase BC when it first started up were few and far between. It's very easy to buy today thru places like CoinBase. CoinBase didn't exist when 1BC was pennies. Now 1BC is $2575.00

You made me go look. Its been a long time since I opened up the coin collection books.
1909-s
1909 s-vdb
1914-d
1931-s
In the would of numismatics the 1922 plain and the 55 double die are considered "error coins' and aren't part of a true "date" collection. I don't have either of those.

A 6th grade school teacher got my older brother into coin collecting when he brought a 1909 s-vdb to school and passed it around to his class. He had found it in his change. My brother lost interest in it and sold me what coins he had for face value. I got my Dad interest in it and he would bring all the change from the cash register where he work4ed home and we would go through it at night. That is how I found most of my collection. This was back in the early 60's. I didn't dawn on my until later how trusting his boss was. We had a druggist in town who bought all the parking meter change from the city and he was THE collector of our area. He had a display case in his drug store where he sold his good stuff. I could never afford it.

I wish I had my baseball cards and had not put them in the spokes of my bike tires.

I've got a complete collection of Buffalo Nickels (no 3-legged). Trouble is a lot of the key dates are acid dipped coins and aren't worth anything in the collector world (unless you are buying them).

I sold the first 1972 DD PCGS MS67 RED. back in 1993/94. After it sold on Teletrade for $800 because my partner didn't put a reserve on it. We bought it back for like $2200 and resold it to an eccentric doctor.

I used to tell my kids that my 1866 rays 5c ms65 was handled by Lincoln. They were pissed when history proved me wrong.
Shield nickels aren't very popular. I preferred the half dimes.I used to tell my kids that my 1866 rays 5c ms65 was handled by Lincoln. They werewhen history proved me wrong.
