BINGO! I was at one of my usual bank branches trading a box for box and the manager told me another branch has a free counter. She felt bad for me having to roll these all the time.... I went to the other branch and when I walked in an employee had the machine open to change out the bags. WOOOOHOOOO... I asked him if I could buy the cent bag and he said sure. Another bonus, he was chaning the bag out because another employee just brought in 5 years worth of his change stash! I asked that guy if he searched it....and he said "what the heck for?". HAHAHAHAHAHA, sweet....I'll take this bag!  |

Went through about 400 or so and it's looking good. I picked out quite a few BU's including a very nice 1986-D. Looks to be about 25-30% copper. I found a 2000 WAM already! I think I'll go back tomorrow and see if they have that other bag still.   |

Not bad Thad! Here's a woody I found on Tuesday. Thought this was pretty neat since it's a LMC.   swcoin.ecrater.com

A little pun action? LOL
Just found a dime in the last handful, apparently the counter is not perfect. Also got about 40% copper from that handful and a MS-66+ 2002 BU. Man, I'm LOVING this bag.

OK, I suspect this guy lost track of how long he had been saving these....loving it. I'm finding some nice BU zincs, lots of D mints that I needed. Maybe he moved here from out west, but there's many more D mints than I typically see in Brinks boxes. I also found a higher than normal proportion of wheats. I've plucked 10 out and I've only sorted about 600-700 coins. Some handfuls have been almost 50% copper too with some nice red cents here and there like these. I very rarely find the 70's S mint cents and I've already found two 74-S and one 1973-S.   Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Nice finds Bad Thad!
Same here, just went in yesterday to pick up my boxes of Halves and asked if any penny bags were full- they had 1 which I bought
I went back yesterday afternoon to cash in the halves and buy more boxes and they already had another bag of pennies full by someone who had just filled the machine!
I bought that bag also.
Now I have 2 bags to go through, lots of work ahead, but could be great finds!

This bag rocks, I'm going for these from now on. Last night I also found 6 LP1 and a couple LP2's. It's quite the mix.

last night in customer wrapped rolls I found a 2000 and 1998 WAM! 2000 looks to be AU and the 98 BU ( maybe MS 62 or so) |

After searching through hundreds of thousands of cents I have decided to give up. Heck no just kidding. I found two blank planchets this week. I thought the first one was strange, but now a second is really strange. These are the first two that I have found.

After comparing %copper and # of wheaties from the 2 bank boxes I bought to the customer rolls and bags I normally buy I will never buy boxes again. Its amazing what people will put in rolls of coins thinking its worthless. Kie |

Coin Machine Bags are the only way to go for me from now on.
No more $25.00 Boxes!
I've just started on bag one and I've already found a 1912 Wheatback, a 1903 Great Britain Six Pence (Silver Coin!) and 2 MS65+ Grade LP2's!
*My first bag yielded a beautiful 1994P 1DR-001* amongst other nice coins.
