I place any 1959 pennies that I find separate from the other coppers and the wheat pennies. Do you think this is unnecessary or is it a wise thing to do?

I seperate mine as well then they are rolled seperate. Remeber there is a idiot born every day, so list them on eBay when you have enough.

| I put mine with the rest of the copper. That way when I sell I can call them unsorted. |

| Sometimes, like when 1959 pennies are terribly beat up or corroded, I'll place them with the regular coppers. |

| Newbie question here. Why are they kept separate? I only have 4 piles: Copper, Zinc, Wheats/Foreign and 82s. I don't look for errors key-dates or anything. What is special about 59? |

| They all go with the copper. Not sure why you would keep them seperate. Even one that is MS-60 is still only worth 4 cents...IF you can find someone to buy it at that. |

| Mine go in with the copper unless they are bright AU/BU coins. I separate all bright AU/BU Lincoln Memorial coppers though, so treatment of 1959's isn't any different for me. |

| Well, it is the first year of the Lincoln Memorial pennies, and from the '50's. |

| The question you should ask yourself is, do you think a 1959 will be a semi-key date for future collectors? |

| It will not be a key date, mikep2020, but they may bring up just a little bit more money than other coppers. |

| I keep the 1959-1981 P's & D's together, but I do keep the 1968-1974 S cents in a separate container. |
