Ah! My casual nerd hobby!

You looking for anything in particular?
Not really... 1911 US wheat penny but only if it shows up in my possession by accident 😅 Curious about the 2nd one down though.. what is that?
What about this one? 
Oh that's cool! You've got some awesome specimens
I think this is the oldest coin I've ever found in the wild. 
My dad gave me one as a little kid. Steel pennies are a neat find too - not really worth a whole lot, but it’s wild to run across one. No one even knows they existed for one year way back when copper was used for bullets.
The steel pennies tell a sad story, huh?
Apparently I have a 1904 dawn. & 2 years of steel pennies? 
Those are keepers, even if just for the history.
Take those 1944 steel Pennie’s to a coin dealer and see what they’re worth. Might be winner

Yeah, just minted in 1943 to save copper for ammunition. I found one while making change for a customer a couple years ago and explained it to him and you would have thought I was interpreting a Sanskrit poem. He was floored when I said it wasn’t worth more than a couple cents.
Traded some silver for this one. 1835!

So cool.
I will tag nostr:npub15dg963ct3r2mzgpdmnk4xtvyd82en9eq2t0v92fqvyve8jj6pesqleq7gf here so she's not left out 
Aaaa!!!! You knows I loves to participate! Long live the republic 😉
