Am I The Only Person That Collects Copper Pennies????

Circulated copper lincoln cents. Not the zinc ones.

Guess I'll have to fess up to this insane obsession I have. I have tubes that I put the nicer ones in, when I get fifty I wrap them and keep in a tackle box. I have milk jugs sitting around and toss the junk copper in them.

My circulated set. I started throwing this together when I first started collecting. Getting close to being finished

Actually, I meant just plain copper pennies. 1909 - 1982. I avoid the zinc ones.

BTW, that 1914D rocks!! And Purple, I'm working on a complete set too.

I've been working on a circ set of cents from 1909-present for the last few years.
Its just something I do in my spare time. I go through a handful of penny rolls from the bank each week and fill what holes I can. I am now down to about 5 or 6 holes in the set and all are key dates. I am still constantly upgrading the coins with each better one I come across.

I am in the process of putting together a set of wheat pennies.

Jonesy, I have a few gallon-size baggies full of pennies which I've had for a long time but have yet to really go through. What are you lacking for your set to be complete? Chances are I dont have it, but I'll look thru them....I just might

ah copper so near and dear to my heart...........

but it is a really harsh mistress always requiring additions of rarer and rarer die varieties and errant die marriages

have a complete Capital Board set 09 - present including proofs from 36- present plus all major varieties except the 55 DDO and a slab set registered under Gonfunkos’ basic circ set # 28 with 20 coins at PCGS and the remaining 10 waiting to go to PCGS, plus I am #40 in the basic set of 59-present circ set. Does this count????

I was doing this through the mid-80s. By then I had several jugs full of pennies and stopped just because I didn't have the space to keep collecting them.

What about the bronze cents?

I have a blue whitman folder of Lincoln memorials(not counting zinc) that I fill from circulation finds. Trying to find one of each date that comes in change. I still have several left to find, and its been a few years now. For a coin to qualify, it must be AU min, with no problems. Beleive it or not, I actually located a 70-s small date in a take a penny dish a few years ago?

It sounds kind of quirky and odd, and no value to the set, but something to do, and I wanted to see how long it would actually take to find them, just in passing change, as I dont go to the bank to buy rolls to search for them.

Yeah bronze and steel too. I separate all copper pennies out of my change and keep them.
