So for my 100 milestone do I just come up with a contest and post it in said forum (contests and giveaway's) ? Only if you want. Do not let anyone bully you into it though.  |

Ok first report in on the bank box. Nothing significant yet I am mainly trying to sort them...I am a bit "ocd". I am sorting them into shield cents and memorial cents, wheats, pretty ones (shiney so I have a quick peak) and the junk pile goes in the coffee can. Those shield cents sure break down in a hurry, and I am surprised to see the 70's to 80's that still manage to have a lot of lustre. Also a few in the 90's. First pic no close ups yet, is my wheatie haul so far: 1918,1937,1943s,1944d,1945s,1953,1957d, mostly worn as would be expected.  |

Here is one I had a closer look at, I tend to eyeball the earlier cents they are easier to pick out due to color and they are the ones I like.  |

Oh I forgot I of course found 4 Canadian cents so far 2 1967, 1 1969, and 1 1991. I also have a head scratcher 1990p Lincon cent that in hand I see something but getting a clear image is going to take too much time...I have tried. Soon as I get a semi passable image I will post it and see what is said. Back soon, still sorting.

That steel cent (the 1943) is a rare find while coin roll hunting. That is such a cool find. They are fairly common, just not in rolls. Usually the magnets on coin machines take the steel cents out before they get bagged to get rolled.

Hi tencent, I have no idea some have been pretty mucky and stuck together maybe thats why. I would rather find something significant than have the 43 I never much liked the look of them. Now if I got a copper one I would be happy |

Ty for the comments, yes John I was thinking the same about the 43, I have heard about those being dipped or something to that effect. Like I said I don't much like them.

Ok all sorted into garbage, search again,search closer and look with a loupe categories , some I have started posting in the errors/varieties section. It takes me forever so its a long process but this one I thought was a looker. Pics could be better but can't hire a photograper its not in the budget.   |
