- This video aims to give a complete overview of one of the first coins in U.S. history that has evolved and changed immensely over the years but still remains a fan favorite among collectors. Starting out with the Chain Cent and moving up the line, we go over the specific history, symbolism, changes, and values throughout what many consider to be the greatest denomination in U.S. collecting history.

I should show this to my younger brother he loves pennies
Awesome!
I have been watching the series you made on all the different coins and their history and I can't get enough. Listening to them to memorize the years and features helps alot with trying to memorize. Thanks for the great series!
#14:18 Lincoln Head/Wheat Backs are the first US coin for "regular circulation" to feature a past POTUS. The 1893 "Columbian" commemorative Half Dollar was the first US coin to feature an actual person of history.
Thanks for the info!

I used this video as a homeschooling tool when discussing symbols of the USA with my kids. It was interesting to see the progression and differences to the cent over the years. Thank you for the helpful video!
That is awesome! Glad it was helpful.
Great video! This is great information that will help me appreciate my penny collection.

# 15:20 There are suppose to be a few 1944 galvanized steel cents made as well (just as rare as the '43 Copper). The "left over '43 "Steelies" planchets were turned into Belgian 2 Francs/Franks coins in 1944 or 1945.
Thank you for the useful insightful information!
Glad you enjoyed!

Hey there,
I recently subscribed after I began collecting American coinage. Your videos have been informative and usful.
I've been collecting British coins for some years, that's where I'm based.
I recently found a One Cent coin, I know nothing about it.
I watched to find out more about it but none of the designs shown were similar to what I have.
You mentioned Civil war token cents but didn't show any so I'll investigate these later.
My unidentified coin depicts Washington. You mentioned Lincoln was the first President to be shown on a cent.
There is no date and the design is the same on the reverse as obverse.
If you had any ideas on what this could be I'd appretiate the insight!
Thanks a bunch! You can send a photo to my email and I can do my best! Could be a private token or something.
Interesting video!!
I liked one of your last coin videos so I decided to watch this one
Those Lincoln Bicentennial pennies might not be worth something, but they're really great looking coins.
Great Vid
Great video! Thanks for sharing! 😀
Happy to!
Treasure Town 😀😀😀
Great history of the penny ... particularly like those early ones! Glad that they still have kept Lincoln on the penny!
Awesome!
Ok, I just finished watching all your complete guides/evolutions on all the US coins...👌🏼 My question though is why didn't you make videos in the series on the obsolete coins like the 2-cent and 3-cent coins...🤔❓ When can we expect those videos on those coins...💁♂️❓
That would be a fascinating one!
the Indian head cent does not depict an Indian it depicts liberty in an Indian headdress
Great point.
Bravo
In the netherlands we even have coins from 1500 my oldest find was a coin from 1696
Wow!
Thank you
For sure! I appreciate the comment!
I'm honestly really disappointed you didn't at least mention the 1787 Fugio cent.
I always thought the U.S. mint started in 1792. I thought the 1792 birch cent was the first?
I believe the 1793 Chain was the first coin struck in a mint facility by mint employees where the whole process was official.
@@TreasureTownCoins thank you
'Birch Cents' were among the patterns created of proposed coinage by the U.S. Mint after it was established by the Mint Act of 1792.
The first coins produced for circulation (regular issues) were struck in 1793.
Actually the first penny issued by the US federal government before the chain cent was the FUGIO cents of 1787...
This cool coin was re-categorized from the colonial category and is considered to be the first of all large cents bearing no indication of value..
It is a very good spot for a type collection for cent's and can be used in place of the chain cent since it's so hard to find the 1793 chain...
The video is correct that the Chain was the first coin struck by the Mint on the Mint’s own equipment. Congress did authorized the Fugio penny, but it outsourced the minting to a private company.
@@slichtyler yup!
Before the mint was established they were contracted out to make the first penny which was the fugio pennies
God I hate that stupid shield
👍👍
What about half cents?
I think you have a huge coin collection 😀😀😀
I believe he loves teaching us ❤he is stil in school.Smart young man ...!
@@margaretstoner4701 😂 nice man.... 😇😇
Wish I did! I mostly make videos on coins online.. been working in the industry for a long time.
@@TreasureTownCoins o.....😀🙂🙂
You forgot the nova Constitution and the Fugio cent
How tall are you?
6'2!
Or like 187 cm.
@@TreasureTownCoins oh okay👍🏻👍🏻
I have 1 piece of coin liberty 1793 one cent
Kudos for referring to them as 'Cents', which they are.
Now, why is the title "Penny" and not cent?
🤗😇
No 1720 British half penny?
You skipped a couple
The U. S. Mint has never struck a penny.
Christian,CHRISTIAN, You made my day. You HONESTLY go from slavery ( that's how my hair looks in the morning) to ABE.I raised you correctly! SMILE Christian. You are something else. THANK YOU. ❤
Thanks Margaret!
