I just hauled a $50 bag from a downtown bank coin machine into the house. Got a backlog of $125 in cents to look through; I will be VERY busy the next few days!

Picked up my first two sealed boxes of pennies from my credit union. Wasn't really sure what I was getting so after dinner I tore into the first box. In the second roll there was a 1953 wheatie. And then they kept on coming. I haven't finished the box yet (still got about 2 rows of pennies left in it, but in addition to the 200 or so coppers that I pulled out, I found: 1938 1937-S 1949-D 1951-S 1952-D 1953-D 1954-D 1955-D And an absolutely beautiful deep red 1959-D. The picture here doesn't do it justice. It's the reddest penny I've ever seen in my life. It almost glows! Not sure what to do with it. It's not a key date as far as I can tell, so I think it'll just go into an album (as soon as I get some albums). Anyway, I'll finish this box later today and I can't wait to get into the second box!   |

Just curious....is there a safe way to get fingerprints off a penny ?
Usually, no. Try acetone. |

Finished up my first box of pennies and found 2 more wheaties (55 and 45). Then I found 17 more in the first two rolls of the second box. Final tally for the night, 19 wheaties (1940-1955), a 1961 wood grain and a 1960D with the 9 filled in. Posted it here for comments https://goccf.com/t/114038 on what it is. Going to finish up this box tonight. Going out of town next week so I won't be able to pick up more til I get back. Don't think TSA would let me through with 50lbs of pennies anyway :) But I'm addicted now! |

hi All, I haven't been around in a while and just went through a box-o-cents last weekend. Here's what I found, sorry no pics of actual finds. It's motivated me to get another box this weekend. - A 1892 Netherlands cent. From what I can find it's valued around $3 to $25. (just a stock photo, not the actual find, but it's very similar) Hg~~_35.jpg) - 3 wheats. Mixed years, non-key dates ranging 30's to 50's. - A couple upgrades for my circulated modern US cent collection. - 4 PMD 'golden' colored coated/plated pennies. - 50% pre-1982 copper (which if I remember correctly is a pretty good percentage.) - No errors/varieties :| just some misc. small dates. |

Nice find on the Netherlands coin. And an old-timer at that!
