except for certain dates and their conditions. In 2024, over 3 billion pennies made so it's a sucker's gamble to hoard pennies made in the past 50 or more years. The ones that would be collectable would be the old Wheat Stalk pennies were made which was from from 1909 - 1958. I have a number of these including some Steel Wheat Stalk pennies I'll held onto for decades.
