ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 12:43 am I search for copper and separate things out between the '81 and prior, 1982, Canadian, and Wheat backs. I just finished with a very peculiar box of pennies. I was washed out of both Canadian and Wheat backs. Never had such a thing happen before. It's probably the luck of the draw but it sure is odd. Normally I've been finding between 20 and 30 of these coins in a box. Strange. Report this Post to the Staff

I got two boxes of customer wrapped rolls recently and found nothing in one box, and hardly anything in the second, definitely not the norm for me. But on to the next few boxes and everything is good again. Just part of the game I suppose. You could have gotten someone else's dump. Just happens sometimes. Report this Post to the Staff
Danhelmick98 Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 10:07 am Yeah, this has happened to me. I remember when I did a box of cents and someone marked all the rolls when the year minted and by mint mark. They were only post 1981. Report this Post to the Staff
Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 1:08 pm I myself have turned in rolls of cents that I have gone through and have labeled them by date and mint mark. Not that there weren't any 'good ones' in them but I had ALOT laying around and marked them for other hunters so that they would know. If non-collectors didn't get them then so be it.

ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 3:08 pm I should have mentioned that the box that I was searching was not CWR but rolls that were put together by Brinks. The other unusual happening with this box was that I only found 2 2009 Lincoln cents. I usually find about 10 of these coins per box. To me the overall count was very different.

jjc2779 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 6:30 pm Speaking of strange happenings / markings while CRH, I was doing a box of Halves, and someone actually wrote "CRH" with red sharpie, in big letters, right across JFK's portrait! I should have took a picture of that one... Report this Post to the Staff
