My apologies Dq54.

I accidentally erased both of your 1979 posts thinking they were of the same coin. :o :cry: :doh:

I cannot get them back.

You did well in following the rules and only posting one coin per thread.


But...all three of your coins are common.

An easy way to find coin values such as this is look at SOLD ebay auctions for the same coin.

I agree 1971 is one of the years with the highest mintage.

I hoard copper 2ps an pennies due to copper being worth more than face and the 71s are the most easier found by far.
