cleaning out my collection
last night i decided to sell all of my wheat pennies that i don't need and instead of letting them sit around in a box let someone else have fun going through them. after counting the coins (took around 2 hours) i came out with about 2,500 coins. this was my collection of all the wheat pennies that i have purchased over my collecting years that i already have in my albums and don't need them. i took a picture of 5 pennies that i thought were cool and unique so i decided to keep those (from left to right the pictures are): the 2,500 pennies (1930-1958 and 10 steel), a penny in which only half of it acquired dirt, a penny that has a pepper etched into it, a penny that looks tarnished as if it was a silver coin (it looks rainbowy and silver), and the last 2 are 1948-D that the dates were stamped in different locations (not worth much but cool to have). I will probably list the lot on Ebay in the next week and if it sells i will use the money to get some coins graded and finish some of my partial collections.
