Penny Acquisition of the week

Recommended Posts

OK so they're not special, but here are my offerings from the Midland Coin Fair, an F77 and 1899 wide date. The former will fill a gap for the time being.

Still nice Jerry, the patina looks good on the F77.

Although I thought buying coins to upgrade later was a no-no :ph34r:

Just spent half an hour sorting my tub of ex circulation 1899 pennies. The result is as follows.

BP1899Aa.        8

BP1899Ab.        30

BP1899 Ac.        5

7 coins unidentifiable.

The first two figures are somewhat at odds with Michael Gouby's estimation, but does demonstrate the relative scarcity of the widest date.

Thanks! It is the best one I have ever seen personally by quite some way. Previously the best I had seen was the LCA one that sold recently (they graded it as VF)!
