All of these are 1999 reverses and one seems questionable to me. It appears to have a space compared to the others and looks similar to others that are wide but I can't quite tell. Of course it would have to be the one in the worst condition. Thanks in advance! Please forgive the cat hairs.. They really want attention while I'm in the middle of something
Yeah, my heart skipped a beat but I knew I wasn't that lucky. It stuck to a magnet. I'm not sure about the attempted deception because it's been in my mom's possession for quite some time... Decades and she won't even check her change for 82d small dates for me lol. I just figured it may have been exposed to something that changed the hue. She told me it was steel so I was pretty confused when it appeared copper. Now watch me come across another and dismiss it and it'll be legit. That's my luck in a nutshell
I guess I'm wondering if it is something like heat or it was exposed to something that would make it look this way. Also, I don't know if any of the coins my mom gave me had been in his collection. I don't think so but she inherited his home so could've been just hanging out there or she could've gotten it in change. The other older coins don't seem to be in a condition that would be worth collecting.

My mom gave me a handful of old coins including a 1943 philly steel penny (my grandpa used to collect and had rolls of steel pennies) and I just took it out of the baggie holder and it appears bronze and I'm curious why that would be. I have a 1944 and an 87 in the photo with it for comparison. Never really noticed it through the baggy. I weighed the 44 and 43 and I think my scale is off because they weighed the same and I don't have anything that's 200g on the nose to calibrate it. Thank you in advance

I have 2 1975 no mint mark I'm assuming are from philly but it looks like one is off center and over the rim. Is it just wear that makes one appear different from the other? Thank you, Mitzi
Hello from Wyoming Michigan! I've got some old coins from my grandpa's collection as well as some I've scooped out of my pocket change after seeing your videos on YouTube which I find most helpful compared to a lot of them. Thanks for all the gimmickless informative videos. Mitzi
