Not $0.01

Hi friends,

I had a penny in my desk at work from 1969. I told a co worker that it was probably not worth $0.01 and used an app named Coin Snap to take a couple of pics and get the info. Here was the result:

Certainly not $0.01! This penny has copper in it and is worth 20x the face value - pretty cool!

If I had thousands of them, I would be on to something!

Thanks for coming by,
Brian

I haven't got around to counting out all my Canadian and US copper pennies yet, at least 35 lbs. The 5 Cents are slightly worth over $0.055USD at the moment. Will the penny make a big comeback as money?

It is always interesting to discover the secret worth in common things ;)

this is really beautiful. Looks do not determine values at times; however, some things appreciate with time.
