Pound Of Pennies

Start your penny collection the easy way. This assortment gives you 148 coins (that's one full pound) from all six decades in which this one-cent piece was minted. You are guaranteed one first-year-of-mint 1909 penny that might be one of the rare coins with the sculptor's initials, VDB, valued at as much as $3, 000. You could also find an increasingly-rare 1943 steel penny. Last struck in 1958, the historic wheat penny retains its value because it's the first U.S. coin to depict a real person and the first coin to feature the words "In God We Trust" and because it contains 95% copper. Coins store in mini-money bag. All contents are unsearched and unexamined.
