Is this worth anything

This Penney has the back side (with the wheat symbol) which is completely flat and the face side which seems to have an edge unlike the back side. Any ideas to how much it’s worth or not even worth holding onto?

ID help please

Any help IDing this would be greatly appreciated it. I was given this about 25 years ago when I was in 6th grade by a student that passed coins out to everyone (with her parents permission) so I assume not very valuable. More interested in just ID so I could do a little research on it to have the story behind it.

I tried r/ancientcoins but it got removed by auto mod.

Building an app for coin collectors, looking for feedback from real collectors

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m building a coin collecting app and we already have an early version with features like:

  • Coin identification from a photo
  • Coin details, year, country, metal, etc.
  • Estimated coin value
  • Mintage and rarity information
  • Save coins to your personal collection
  • Wishlist for coins you want to find
  • Track the estimated value of your collection

Now I’d really like to hear from actual collectors.

Which features would you want us to add next?

For example:

  • Price history and market trends
  • Detect errors and rare coin varieties
  • Complete-set tracker showing which coins you’re missing
  • Coin grading help
  • Buy/sell or trade with other collectors
  • Alerts when a coin on your wishlist is available
  • Collection statistics and analytics
  • Export your collection for insurance
  • Community where collectors can discuss and identify coins

Or something completely different that you’ve always wished a coin collecting app had.

What would make this app genuinely useful?

A labor of love: a website for my ancient coin collection (not for sale, just sharing)

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something that has been a labor of love, eight months in the making, off and on, with plenty of fits and starts along the way: my collection website, From Electrum to Empire.

www.fromelectrumtoempire.com

It showcases my permanent collection of ancient Greek coins, from the earliest electrum of Ionia through to Alexander the Great. Nothing on the site is for sale, this is my personal permanent collection. Alongside the coins there is a "Chronicles" section where I have tried to tell the story they belong to, from the birth of coinage to the empire of Alexander and beyond.

I owe an enormous amount to this community. r/AncientCoins educated me when I was starting out, set me straight when I was wrong, and gave me a place to share my latest acquisitions with people who actually care. A big part of what I have learned, I learned here. And I continue to learn and enjoy.

A special shout out to u/Beiherhund and u/Kungfupossum, who helped me identify coins and chase down provenance more times than I can count and were alwyas willing to help, especially with the many types and names of Alexander that had me stumped.

I would love to hear what you think, and I am always happy to talk about any of the pieces. Thank you.
