I have been collecting pennies for 60 years but not doing anything about it until I found a book of 1959 pennies to 1974 every one of them. I am finding all kinds of good stuff that I did not pay any attention to for 60 years. I cannot even go to sleep now because of all the coins I find. I found 100 64 Kennedys and they must have come from a set because they are beautiful and I have a huge bag of quarters all silver. I am a little dizzy right now finding all this stuff. Thank you so much for your help.

[@jblortz]

As a Lincoln Cent collector, your insights into those that might be valuable are always great. Had no idea about the 1959s being as potentially valuable as they are. I have some in my "bags" of copper.... guess what I'll be doing!

[@sharonw9229]

Wow...that MS68 1959 is stunning! I’ve held onto to all 1959’s in a separate container, time to check them! Amazing, great video! Yes, I did know 1959’s were valuable that’s why I saved them separately!

[@marghiggs9201]

I have a roll of fifty 1959 (no mint) pennies left to me by my grandfather. I was going through the coins and separating them into decades and chose to look at this year in particular as I was born in the fifties. I'm amazed to see how valuable they are. Thanks for the great video.

[@christinecovey8146]

I knew the 59 was special. I did not know there were sooo many varieties, thank you for all you do. The information is so very helpful

[@steelwoolqueen]

$20,700?! What a great profit especially for a proof! Had no clue they could be quite that valuable. Thanks for the great info.

[@cowboygeologist7772]

I found a 1959 Philadelphia mint penny in my change just yesterday. It looks very new with a lot of the surface still shiny.

[@Peg-ee5ei]

I had no idea there were so many things to look for in the 1959 pennies. I often Pole the copper pennies from my change and coin roll searches, but this opens up a wonderful Of coin roll hunting for me. I am going to check the pennies I already have, and continue with a new look at 1959. Thank you!

[@williamlarsen3025]

Hey my name is william I'm looking for some one to look at my penny's and show me what they're worth

Wow!! I certainly didnt know the 1959 penny was worth as much as some are and had no idea about the History of the 1959 penny. It's amazing how much some of these Penny's sold for at auction ... I will certainly be on the look out for these... thank you J&B for all this cool information.

[@alexandras6388]

I would not have thought a penny would be worth that much! I have a bag of pennies I will be looking through soon. I will definitely be on the lookout for 1959s!

[@mrsyukoncornelius1732]

Thank you, J&B, for all the information on the 1959 wheat penny and I have some to look through, not a lot as I am new and there’s so much to learn and remember but I am excited, and I am hooked! Blessings

[@HandsomeJoe]

I didn't expect the 1959 pennies could be worth that much. I have a few pennies from that year so I'm breaking them back out and checking them. I'll also now be searching for these. Awesome info.

[@SHADYMCGRAVYSGAMINGCHANNEL]

No, I did not know about all of these 59 pennies! I will be adding it to my dream list! I am learning so much from your videos and from being part of the J & B Family! :)

[@winchman1959]

I was born in 1959 what a great year! The first year of the new design but I didn't know how valuable some of them are. thanks for the heads up I will be on the lookout for the special ones. I found a silver colored one that I think must have been zinc plated or something it's pretty cool.

[@nateflint1334]

I did not know that something like that would be worth so much, I will definitely be on the look out!

[@PWRFLROE]

Certainly I’ve not had a single notion that the 1959 Lincoln memorial reverse cent had any value. And My belief was to continue to look and find the 1958 last wheat cent reverse year and /or any errors in between. More to keep my mind off of serious issues is always a gift.Thank you much J

[@amysticvision]

I enjoy all the research you put into your information! I will be on the hunt for the 1959 pennies.

[@barbarar1920]

Hi J and Mrs B, this was an awesome video. It was loaded with a ton of important information. I never expected the 1959 Phila and the 1959 D to be worth some pretty decent money. Thanks a bunch! I need to look a my pennies again. ♡♡♡♡♡

[@clmk0515]

No, I did not know there were this many 1959 errors on pennies. I only have a couple of this year kept due to transition coin; I'll have to give those another look! Thanks for another great video J & B !

[@Mel-qr3zl]

Once again, great information! I really enjoy 50’s pennies, maybe because I was born in 57. I enjoyed this video very much! Thank you again for sharing!!

[@Breeze4me]

I am not surprised due to 1959 being a transitional year. Quite impressive on the returns. This coin is in my search list. Thank you JBCOINSINC.

[@Grampaspennies]

I’ve actually saved all of my 1959 pennies, but I didn’t know they could be worth as much as revealed in this video, wow! I was also surprised to find out it took over fifty years for the top grade D to come out and be revealed! I don’t have any dcam 1959’s at all, but I will keep searching for some. The mule coins though, those would be life changing to find for me! 👍

Just got a bulk load of 50s pennies, can't wait to start looking for the 59! Thanks for the info JB Fam had no idea a penny that recent could go for thousands....😳

I knew they are special do to being first year of the memorial reverse. But didn't know that some could be worth that much. But with so many errors gives you a better chance of finding one.

So many coins to keep up with and so much info to consume. I figured these were valuable or special. As always the best info around. Thank you.

Even though it was a 20 minute video. You know the part in friends where ross and Monica's mom on Thanksgiving got all that information in 30 seconds.. yeah that's how i feel right now!! That is a lot of information on one coin. I love the transition of the wheat cent to the memorial back. I did not know about any of the wrong planchet, or that they were worth so much money.. but i did know about trying to find one in high grades, for my book and one day sell it with all pristine cents.

[@JamesSmith-if3yr]

Thank you for everything..i love learning from watching your videos

[@rocknrootshomestead7018]

Wow so much information on one penny. I never expected this penny to be so valuable or special and really it's not that old either. Thanks again J&B.

How do you get coins graded?

Not surprised by the high value but impressed by the great many varieties and errors and the importance of finding high grades by searching in Proof and Uncirculated sets as well, as always, in your change.

I have 5 1959 coins and I am so excited about all the info that you have. Thank you.

It is hard to believe that some coins can be that valuable. Especially pennies.I feel like I need to keep all my change. Thanks for another video!!

I've always felt that the transition coins, like the 1959 cent, are worth keeping. I only collect pennies and I am very surprised to learn of the value for some of the 1959 pennies.
