Forgotten treasure buried in the closet!!!!
Somewhere in one of the closets is about 30 1943 steel pennies. I actually have not seen them since we moved here almost 4 years ago. Hopefully they are still in good condition. DH has saved these from when he was a child. I wonder what they would be worth?
Andi Well I found the pennies and they all appear to be in good condition. Gotta get out the magnifying glass to see if I can find any "special" marks. I will post the pictures later on today. Last edited by majakldragon; 02-03-2008 at 03:48 PM. Reason: found the pennies

There are actually 11 steel and 15 other wheats plus 4 that were made in the 60's. These were all kept in a small piggy bank safe DH had as a kid. He had forgotten about them until I said something about detecting for old wheat pennies. He said there was some buried in a box in the closet. Well I just had to go look for them.

Heres a picture of the steel pennies
Its not the greatest but their a bit dirty. They have been in this piggy bank safe for a long time and its not air tight. I stuck a copper wheat penny in the mix so you could see the difference. Now the question is, do I clean them or leave them as they are?

Just so you know they are worth in fair shape .30 per each, Beale.

Thanks Beale,
I wasn't worried about the value. They are more sentimental to DH than anything else. I will put them in the plastic thingy's for him so they don't further deteriorate. Andi Beale, please find another penny!!!!!!!!!!!!
