Yep, just found one. The irony is that I got it as pocket change when I was at a coin shop buying a German coin for my son. I paid in cash and received a bunch of 50s and 60s era coins as change ( no silver, though ).. I'm happy.

Amazing how much more money a penny can be worth when you give it the D.

Hey Christian... I have a question... I have a 1961 D Penny that is beautiful. It's a deep red copper... So pretty and it even looks like it's uncirculated? Very glossy... But I can't find anything about this coin. It almost looks too good to be true. Any chance you might know something about this coin?

[josepharsanis]

I have a 1961D pennie, it sold for $4, 600 and should be worth more, but I only heard you state that it is valued at $10.00?
Treasure town young man I started collecting in 1955 at 12 yrs old, went into the Army in 1961 and returned 1964 and my coins all disappeared, however I started again last year. My question is where is the best place to sell my coins? Please let me know when you can do this. Thanks Joseph Arsanis
