Coppercoins

Coppercoins Comprehensive catalog of United States Lincoln Cents (pennies) - die varieties and errors, high grade coins, price guide information, and more!

Many people consider pennies 'junk' - they toss them on the ground, let them collect in jars, and generally consider them a nuisance. Coppercoins.com was developed to showcase the value and challenge in collecting Lincoln cents at their fullest. Nearly 20,000 photos of valuable Lincoln cents are showcased on this website, many of which you can find in your pocket change with the knowledge we share and some patience. The way we see it - collecting Lincoln cent die varieties from change is not only good, clean fun, but it's like having lottery tickets that cannot lose. You get them for a penny, and if they aren't anything of value, you still have a penny!

I own nearly half of a complete run of Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine - it ran from 1935 through 1974 and beyond. I am looking to complete my collection. If you happen to have any of them or know someone who does and wants to sell them to a collector/researcher for a few dollars each I would be interested in hearing about them. :)

I made the divider cards today to put between the year issues. ;)

Is your 1982 Lincoln cent COPPER or ZINC?

There are several ways to tell—and some are much faster than others.

In this video I demonstrate four practical methods for separating copper and zinc cents, including one you can use without a scale.

Which method do you use?
