Roy, here's my original thread asking for WAM confirmation: http://goccf.com/t/278531 The full size reverse pic wasn't too good -- the only useful marker there is the seri in FG. There's a close up of the "AME" in my original thread that shows the gap much better. Thousands of cents huh? I was hoping I could say I have a coin that's worth its weight in gold. ($97.25 using spot prices checked last night.)

Nice finds all, I do a few rolls at a time so last week picked up 2 rolls yes rolls found a 1941 in one roll and a 1951 in the other roll, both in fine condition so I thought that was very good. I used to search a lot of cents a box at a time but have cut way back due to various issues.

Nice IHC, John77! We did a box of pennies over the weekend and found 14 wheats. a 35, 35D, and the rest were 40's and 50's. Found (4) 1954 plains, which was out of the ordinary, as we mainly see D mintmarks. Also got a 1958 2 Pfennig from Germany, and 11 Canadians.

Worth more than gold I think. Took a quick look on ebay and there's a specimen (unslabbed) in a lower grade than yours; asking $175, brown. I'm not sure what folks are getting for these unslabbed, but it's worth investigating if you haven't already. Good luck!

Thanks rackster. I've got the ebay one on my watch list, just in case it sells. I can never tell what's a good price there since some people have a ridiculous ask. I saw a JFK half with 10-15 degrees rotation listed for $200!

Thanks, dadsoncoinhobby! I've already tied my Indian output from all of last year with two (found an 1891 earlier in the week as well).

Reporting in on my last two batches of ten rolls. Yesterday: 1944D, 1952D Today: 1926, 1951D, 1956 that was dragged along the ground. Plus this guy: not a BIE, but a IIB (1995).

This week I picked up $25 of pennies from a larger branch of my bank. (My local smaller branch always seems hesitant about selling me a box.) These were all CWR with several different wrappers. The results were about the same as the Loomis MWR. Except five of the rolls were short 1 cent each, all of them with the same type wrapper. The population ran as follows, 616 copper LMC including 2 1969-S and a 1970-S. 18 Canadian cents, the oldest was a 1964, 11 wheat backs, the oldest 3 were a 1929,1936, and a 1939, and 7 of the 2009 Lincoln cents. About the 2009 cents, out of 191 that I've pulled from circulation over time only 6 have D mint marks! This makes me very watchful for the 2017-P cents that are being released. Also we seem to get more Canadian cents, I live in upstate New York. And I have a new camera, I just have to figure out how to get the pictures into the laptop.

Did my standard cluster of ten rolls. This group gave up two 1946s and a 1916 -- my first coin over a hundred years old.  I also found this super rare bicentennial coin!  Okay, actually a medal since it's in medal orientation and there's no denomination. It's about 1 mm larger in diameter than a cent, and there's a typo on the reverse. I guess it looked good on the die? An oddity, but worth a cent.
