7 Beat Up Lincoln Pennies Found In Change That Sold For Over $250,000!

Oh so check this out I have seven coins here that I'm going to discuss today all totaling over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars sold at auction now the one big theme in this whole video is these coins are not lookers as a matter of fact these coins have probably been spent at the gas station Walmart Target you know why at one point you probably threw some in some change jar somewhere or a piggy bank or perhaps you lent out one of these coins to a stranger that needed a little bit of extra change so that way they could purchase something just think about it for a second now what we have here is what I like to call the lucky seven okay seven undeniably ordinary-looking circulated Lincoln pennies that at one point or another were subjected to just regular spending all right people held them in their pocket okay someone actually had a coin that probably it's worth twenty thousand dollars at one time in their pocket all right as they were going about their day and these coins right here make no mistake about it look they don't look new okay they've seen they've seen some battles out there in in everyday Commerce so the first one that you see here obviously this one is a circulation fine this one would came right straight out pocket change it's in 1969's double-die offers okay we know this as the king of modern double-die coins this one sold back November 2nd 2014 through great collections as a PCGS au 55 Brown example for $19,800 $20,000 sitting in your pocket $20,000 sitting in that hundred-dollar pocketbook or maybe this is the coin I was sitting on the ground somewhere or in someone's cash register twenty thousand dollars it's life-changing money but everybody knows what this coin is its iconic all right but I have six other coins out here that maybe aren't as iconic that have passed through many hands and we're gonna take a look at every single one of them okay and then the second coin right here is another iconic coin believe me they're not all gonna be like this but make no mistake about it the 1992 Lincoln Cent with a closed a.m. in America on the reverse which was by the way intended for a proof dye graded PCGS mint state 62 red brown obviously this one has seen some sort of action out there and regular everyday transactions and this one sold on great collections like the previous example December 3rd 2017 okay see these are relatively recent examples within the last five to ten years this one brought home eight thousand six hundred thirty eight dollars and eighty-eight cents ladies and gentlemen and is it you know more life-changing money here in Northern California that's four months of rent by it's kind of sickening isn't it other parts of the country it could be maybe a full year or to say but this is a lot of money again another coin that obviously was sitting in a bankroll or perhaps is sitting in your change jar as we speak now the coins are on this lineup get more and more obscure you know there are certain pieces that we've never heard about as a matter of fact you ought to check out the numbers coin this this thing will blow your mind you know these are coins that don't traditionally exist if we don't know about them the number three coin on the list this one's fun this is a fun find right here and it's subtle it is also subtle it's a 1966 Lincoln Cent look how Brown this thing is this this thing says pass through many hands over a course of its lifetime until someone finally discovered it and saved it from sure destruction in circulation PCGS midstate 62 round another great collection coin now what's so special about this one oh it's just a simple double die reversed it's an FS 801 looking at the coin and especially on the back of the coin you can't really tell them what that double die looks like I had to go into my cherry picker sky which by the way folks this for sale down below in the description box through an amazon link a little bit of a plug in there PCGS mint state 62 Brown sold on great collections back in April 30th of 2017 probably one of the weakest look at double dies I've ever seen in a cherry pickers guide this one brought over $3,300 alright just the three coins right there we have amassed $30,000 and coins that have come out of pocket change alright and so can you but I want you to why to make you guys aware that stuff like this exists now up next is a coin that probably doesn't look so much as circulated as it does something that's been beat up and damaged you know this thing looks like a some sort of garage experiment so it's a 2007 D Lincoln Cent some of you may not know this but this coin is a copper coated zinc planchet planchet meaning blank there was struck on that when you take away the the copper coating on there it kind of looks like the coin that you see here kind of that steely gray color that's what the zinc core is on these things they're very undesirable they're ugly and they're not worth more than the face value of the coin so it looks like someone drilled a hole right down in the middle of this thing but however this one hides a little something that not a lot of people know about it sticks to a magnet out of all things therefore excluding it as being a zinc coin so what we have here is a coin does a natural-born error of sorts this one was struck on just an errant steel washer this one graded PCGS mint state 64 this one sold August 26 2012 also through great collections this will brought home six thousand three hundred twenty-five dollars okay all I'm saying is if you find a coin like this wait here get wait till you get home take a magnet off your fridge and see if it sticks because if it sticks congratulations you just earned yourself five six thousand dollars so we can't do this kind of video without talking about the next coin a coin that will live in infamy as being the ultimate error coin in u.s. coinage history it's the 1943 Lincoln Cent which by the way this was intended to be a steel composition coin it's supposed to stick to a magnet but this one right here clearly looks like it's been around a block okay there were there was there was a coin much like this that sold just recently it was actually the discovery coin that was actually handed back and change in a school cafeteria discovered by a young kid who was probably 14 15 years old said to the side and it was sold after he passed away many many decades ago or later this one right here is a 43 s so it's a San Francisco this one was inadvertently struck on a bronze planchet okay bronze planchet being that it's not steel but you know the bronze planchet coins existed in 40 to 44 and any other date around 1943 this one graded PCGS VF 35 and this thing has been through many thousands of hands over the course of its lifetime this one sold on heritage auctions February 4th 2010 and get this sold for two hundred and seven thousand dollars whoo good stuff good stuff I don't know if I'll ever find something like this in my lifetime but I do know about it and I'm actively looking for it when I'm going through my change but that's the top end coin but we have two other ones okay let's note another coin right here the sixth coin on the list of the lucky seven there's a 1983 Lincoln penny as you guys know the US Mint stopped producing pennies on bronze planchet coins blanks in 1983 the new composition was a copper coated zinc lighter and weight cheaper more self-destructive however this 1983 discovered right here was indeed struck on one of those leftover bronze planets from 1980 to this one of course you have to weigh as the way above three grams were to have any shot at being the actual transitional error this one graded annex au 58 details that's got roller damage which indicates that this coin at one point was a role ender from a bankroll how crazy is that it's just sitting there staring at you in your face and what we have here is a four thousand dollar coin that's how much this one sold September 9th 2018 it hasn't even been a year yet from great collections $4,050 you guys see the big picture it doesn't have to be a brand new coin for it to be valuable you just need to know what you're looking at okay it's all in education coin collecting is a little overwhelming to new folks that don't know a lot about it we know we like to spend money and make money but you know actually taking a close look at your money is a completely different horse of a different color so the final coin is gonna strike you guys as kind of odd if not a little bit cool radical awesome stupendous phenomenal believe it or not this is a 1961 D Lincoln Memorial cent would you guys believe that this was struck on an already produced 1960 D small date set if you look close enough at the photos you'll be able to see the the second date in there it's actually in Lincoln's jacket this thing is off the chain I've never seen one quite like this but obviously it's circulated it's passed through many hands this rare oddity that you see here has passed through many hundreds if not thousands of fingertips you know so this one graded out PCGS au 58 it sold through heritage auctions May 11 2007 so it's been a little while but I'm happy to say there's been a few other examples I've sold it since that point about four thousand six hundred dollars I would venture to guess this is a ten thousand dollar coin today because this thing sold for too little money before the coin market was heading up so someone knew what they had and someone got a bargain steal of a deal but it'd be different if we all found these indeed these are seven absolute lucky coins that were saved from the everyday turbulence of being thrown around a cash register or a change machine machine or like the instance in that nineteen eighty-three bronze cent it was subjected to damage from a roller machine at the bank or the armored car company and it's all out there for the taken two hundred and fifty three thousand dollars total between seven coins all discovered in circulation and guess what there's more to be found ladies and gentlemen I wanted to inspire you to to look for these you know you don't have to actively go out and buy the rolls but at least know what you're looking at every single one of these seven points are different in some way okay I didn't talk about seven 1969's double dies although it could have been very easy to do such but these points right here you know these are coins that dreams are made of you know and these can make a difference in our lives okay money does
