Correction - (17:30) The Lincoln Penny featuring the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse first appeared in 1959, not 1934

Hey Josh, a real nice video! Just wanted to point out a few small errors:br8:44 Dahlonega is pronounced duh-LON-eg-uhbr14:43 Re your chart: 1936 pennies are not valuable (Perhaps you meant 1936 double die?)br15:17 The designer's last name is Fraser, not Frasier br🙂

Some minor mistakes I caught:br3:47 I think it's a miss not mentioning the flowing hair designs (especially the horribly designed chain cent)br18:30 Manganese, not magnesium Fun fact: The coins minted for the Łódź ghetto during WWII actually contained magnesium - which caused people to use them to light furnacesbr24:23 This is G4 - note how the tops of the latters are worn which cannot happen on VG coinsbr24:36 Considering The amount of detail, this is probably MSbrThese are just nitpicks - the video is great! :)

Wheat cents were minted 1909-1958 you incorrectly state it that they ended in 1934 The Lincoln memorial cent wouldn’t show up until 1959

Have you worked out a coin that was used as a handle weight of a samurai swords in the ancient time of the Roman Empire collaboration with the terracotta army god also the coin was used for weight balance of goods it had a square Hall or hole in the middle of the coin I believe they were made out of Bronze copper

When you mentioned redesigned are you not referring to a reset of a great depression or a certain location depression example is civil war

For those seeking silver in their 'pocket change: brbrThe last US coins struck and released for circulation with any silver content at all were the Half Dollars (only) dated 1965 through 1970 which were a 'silver clad' composition with net 40 pure silver Pre - 1965 US Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars, and Dimes were 90 silver, 10 copper brbrPost - 1964 'copper nickel clad' coinage consists of a pure copper core sandwiched between outer layers of 75 copper, 25 nickel which is the same alloy used on the Three Cent 'Nickel' of 1865 - 1889 and for the Five Cent 'Nickel' since its introduction in 1866 with exception of the WW2 era 'War Nickels' which had no nickel in them at all brbrThe composition of US five cent coins changed in mid - 1942 brSome 1942 five cent coins from Philadelphia and all from San Francisco, as well as all dated 1943 through 1945 were struck on planchets of 56 copper, 35 silver, 9 manganese and were identified by large mint marks above the dome of Monticello including first use of the 'P' mark for Philadelphia

The Two Cent Bronze of 1864 - 1872 (and 'proof only' 1873) was, incidentally, the first coin to bear the iIn God We Trust/i mottobrThey have origins in the Civil War coin shortages that also brought about the bronze cent of reduced thickness and copper nickel three and five cent coinsbrAs they are generally collected only as type coins a complete set of 'circulation' Two Cent Bronzes can be had in VF grade at a relatively modest cost with the 1872 being the expensive one All were minted at PhiladelphiabrThe 1864 'Small Motto', also pricey, is technically a pattern coin and the 1873 was only minted as proof coinage
Comment from : @-oiiio-3993

Other fields of interest in US coinage are Commemoratives and Pattern Coinage not struck for general circulation
Comment from : @-oiiio-3993

The current 'Golden Dollars' are not smaller than the Susan B Anthony, they are the same size
Comment from : @-oiiio-3993

Good primer, but with a few errors
Comment from : @-oiiio-3993

The 1792 Half Dismes were pattern coinsbrThe first Half Dimes minted for circulation were 1794
Comment from : @-oiiio-3993

Fiat currency is a really bad idea

Zinc coated steel cents were only minted in 1943 with the rare 1944 struck on the wrong planchet You won’t find any from 1945 or 1946
Comment from : @MbgFire2067

I've been going through my pocket change for about 55 years and have found so many memorable coins, and I'm sure many of us could share stories I had wished to pass on my collection to my kids, but sadly, one passed and the other could "care less" about coins I really wanted to pass these along to the next generation Maybe I'll still have an opportunity to - I think it's important for one generation to pass along coins to the next - it's a fantastic gift and that's beyond all of the silver value
