Hi Slur - the LD zincs are readily available. The Small Date D mint is a tougher find, perhaps second toughest of the 7 here in Connecticut.

None of the 82's are really rare, but there seems to be 'regional' scarcities. For instance, I'd have a tough time finding that 82D small date zinc in my area. I find mostly 82(P) large date coppers.

Wow, pretty lucky to have found this here! I hope it's not zinc rotting yet, the colour near the rims seem a little odd...

4 '82 zincs. Are any of these good? The only time these are worth saving is when they are in full red, mint state. |

a great day of coin hunting today. Along with a merc found and posted in the dime thread, today in a box I found 20 wheats, and my 2nd indian head!  It just kinda rolled out, reverse side up again like last time. I put it in a 2x2. I couldn't believe it!!   |

did one more box this morning and came up with 10 wheats, and a 1940 canadian. In the wheats was a BU 1957, a 34, and 2x 1937. Pretty good box.

Well got a nice surprise today, was able to trade a searched box of pennies for a sealed one. The box was a new style at the bank, and the rolls themselves look the same except they no longer say "String & Sons" on them, they say "LOOMIS". None checked yet because I am waiting on my box of halves, but no enders on the tops of the rolls, but all are mixed.
Wonder why they changed boxes and wrappers?

shadz - just noticed your 1889 Morgan find; CRHing, metal detecting, or something else? Interesting.
