first of all you shouldn't be looking for error coins while your on high dose pain killers. (My back is all messed up I dont take them for fun. (but they are fun)) you think almost every coin has an error on it

I've been swapping cent boxes for years with a number of different people. I used to send predominantly D mint boxes from Missouri to the East coast, but now I live in South Florida. Most of the coins here are P mint.

I'm into pennies. It's really only way I can afford to search. though I probably have 100 dollars in pennies sitting in bags that I need to cash in.
anyone have any ideas on what it cost to ship?

I'm out here on the left coast of Kalifornia. I'm still finding plenty of s-mints in the boxes I search. I honestly don't want to "swap", but I am more than willing to ship boxes to those that would like some.

My BofA branch uses Brinks, and I've never had a problem getting boxes. 3 boxes fit inside a USPS medium flat-rate box, and the shipping with confirmation is right around $12 I think. Yeah, the box is heavy...but it's under the 70lb weight limit. "If it fits, it ships!" ;)

I can fit 30 rolls inside a small flat-rate...and those ship for $5.90 with delivery confirmation.

I'd be more than happy to ship some boxes/rolls to the folks here at CCF.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Shouldnt be to expensive to ship. I would go the USPS route. 12.95 for a large flat rate and 10.95 for a Medium flat rate box. You can stuff up to 70lbs in them and the price doesn't change. Also they offer delivery confirmation and insurance.

pman:

The idea is an old one, and delayed primarily by the 250 post rule, before one is allowed to use this forum to swap...

You might be able to find a trading partner via Craigslist or just buy coins from the "other" coast (as I have done once), and probably will do again!

I have many trading ideas which (eventually) should be doable.

Best,

I know I struggle with D's being S's vice versa. while Bodys humming bennaanneettnnnaatttnneeenaa......The watch tower. Backs hurting from sitting in the same position. But its ALRIght wit me. I had an infection in a few of my teeth, One got pulled the others need root canals, at $800 a pop for the root canal, and only $200 for the extraction, the worst offender got yanked, needless to say, It turned into a collective day..LOL

Me too and almost all my coins are from our area.
Don't know why but around the MidWest we usually get coins from everywhere. P or D runs about the same.
Simple solution: Move to the MidWest.
