These are some pennies I had in my pocket. Fascinating! The one on the left is a wheat penny, which if this site is to be believed, is worth about 3 cents currently. Apparently 1909 was the year to save them, not 1957 as in this case.
More than the wheat penny issue, notice how Honest Abe changed over years. Is it just me or does the modern incarnation of The Great Empancipator look like he's sourly smirking?
yes, indeed, it does look like his expression has doured over the years... Check out the sillouhette faces on the new bills... On the 50 Grant changes his expresion almost every bill... Other bills do it too... Ben changes his expression often...
i found a 1945 penny in my change the other day, which is said to be very rare. but it's not in very good condition. i've never heard of wheat pennies, got to ask the experts at work...
