penny

WOOHOOO i found my first coin today.(5/11/19)and i was wondering how to clean it. It looks to be a modern day penny not a wheatie (sadly) a pic is attached.:D

Well, after looking up old maps and reading some history, I was in the mood for digging. It was about 8pm and drizzling outside. I tossed on a cheap headlamp and went in the back yard again. I know I startled at least two people. One was a neighbor walking their dog. I was digging a plug and had...

What is the best way to clean a 1858 flying eagle penny? Any good home remedies? I want to clear it up without ruining it. Thanks in advance. Turn picture sideways.

Unfortunately it is in absolutely horrible condition. And my shovel hit the back of it when i was digging it out, so its a little scratched. There were only 484,000 of these minted. My house was built in 1910. I have a bedroom door that leads directly outside. This penny was no more than 4 feet...

The weather was damn near Summer for the weekend up here in NY, so the kids and I hit the yard for a while. Of course we found a ton of junk from the flood a few years ago, but had a great time. A pile of Crusty's, some coppers, modern quarters, an ancient brass buckle(over a foot down!) and a...

I found this Indian head today. I went out for 30 minutes to do some hunting and first hit I found a 1902 penny. Finally!! I will be posting it on Instagram as well come follow @metaldetectingco

This morning in about a hour of detecting the grass beside a sidewalk I found: -1944 wheaty -a religious necklace charm (not sure what kind yet) -some clad coins -some type of button...I think? Lol it's brass and seem kinda heavy to be a button so if anyone has a clue please feel free to tell me...

Was hunting a large farm field in Upstate New York this weekend with another buddy and his son, tough day of MD'ing and then a solid as a rock hit, my first King George V Penny! At first by the size I thought it was a Colonial coin (since I have found a 1789 Connecticut Copper in the same...

My dad and brother jointly own 40 acres of woods and meadow lands that they use for hunting. We had always known that there was an old well on the property, now filled in. My brother mentioned that there was a spot near the old well where tiger lillies come up every year, and there was also a...

I was sorting through some left over clad from last years finds and found a strange one. I was rubbing off the dirt to read the year when I saw something above the 1975 date. Removing more of the dirt it became clear, a rectangular box with the letters WY stamped onto the penny. (The dirt...

I found this strange 1978 D cent. I've looked at different examples of errors and I can't find anything similar. Maybe it's the only know example and itss worth a million bucks! HA Its has three rectangular indents all spaced an equal distant apart. The outer two are on the edges. The obverse...
