willieboyd2 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 There was a lot of discussion about what to put on the Utah Quarter because Utah was founded by a particular religious group. The Beehive and a man with three wives were rejected because they were symbols of the religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Can anyone tell me if this is for real, because if it is I would have to get a few in 2009! The 2009 cent will have 4 different Rev. designs depicting 4 stages of Lincolns life. I doubt the wheatback will be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I am not a commemorative coin collector of any kind. There are several I have purchased because I just liked the design. I just don't want to get caught up in a commemorative freency where they will all be worth less than I paid for them due to overkill. So many things like the State Quarters have made this coin collecting boom a reality lately. The coming of the 2009 Lincoln Cent will also start another increase in coin collecting I would think. My fear is way to many commemorative coins will start a decline in this coin collecting system which I think is one of the downfalls with stamp collecting. All we need now is some coins with Elvis or a M. Monroe coin to start the decline in serious coin collecting. I do like the Olympic ones since they mostly look serious and something to remember an event that is world wide. But an Elvis coin, for instance, would make me wonder when will it all end. Any one for an Al Capone coin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum numismatic nut. I like the old designs too, but instead of using them they need to design something that would correlate with those designs and compliment them instead of rehashing something from the past. Besides in my opin the wheat cent is one of the plainest coins ever. I do like the Indian cents though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 True,they are plain;but when I have over 5 pounds of them,you learn to like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 True,they are plain;but when I have over 5 pounds of them,you learn to like them. I probably have 40 lbs of them and they seem to multiply with finds like this week I have gotten three of them in change, a 1948, a 1952-D and a 1952-S. The first two I got on different days at the Post Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 When I find common, high mintage Wheat Back pennies(cents) in change, I just put them back in change. Saving them by the pound to me takes up to much room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I don't save them by the pound,I save them by the rool and 3 rools makes a pound(well 145 cents in a pound,but 3 rools of 50 is close enough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
