Received quickly and well packed. I bought these for copper jewelry rather than coin collecting, so I wasn’t concerned about finding wheat pennies—there was only one in the entire pound. For my purposes they worked perfectly; my test necklace (still uncleaned and unpolished) is made from 1969 copper pennies.

Cook the Books: Vintage books, paper, coins, patterns

I’ve been selling online since the early days of e-commerce in the late 1990s. Over the years, online shopping has evolved, but my passion for finding and sharing unique treasures has remained constant. This shop focuses on antique books, vintage paper, and coins, but you’ll also find select sewing patterns here. I also run Salvation Vintage for fabrics and vintage decor, and Collect and Recollect for vintage jewelry, clothes, and textiles. Plus, visit my new store at CollectandRecollect.com for an even wider selection of unique treasures!
