So a little back story. I have known Petespockets55 since 2017 through coin forums. He lives way south and was going way north to meet some family. He made a point to deviate his path so as to meet me in person about half way through his trip. We met at a local Bistro where I took him and his nephew to breakfast. It was cool to put a face to someone I had known for that long. We were very close to my house, less than a minute, so he came by to see all of the destruction I have done to our property (the many projects that I have done and are still doing). He was nice enough to bring and give me a partial box of what I thought were cents, from a bank down his way. I put them with some other bank boxes I had and that is where they have been since he came by back in August. I have not had much time to search, as of late, but have been trying to get a few rolls in lately from time to time and my rolls are dwindling, where I, as others, are having a hard time finding them. This led me to check out what Petespockets55 had given me. To my surprise, there were six rolls of quarters, five rolls of nickels and thirty three rolls of cents, and they are all customer wrapped rolls!   I thought it was a partial box of cents, so this was a very cool and unexpected surprise and for them all to be CWR is just a bigger bonus. Thank you Petespockets55 for your fantastic generosity!  Pics below of the gift and hopefully some pics to follow of my finds!   -makecents-

I decided to start with a roll of quarters, as I do not search them as often and thought it would be a nice change of pace. Two quarters in and I found a minor DDR. 2017-P 25¢ MO WDDR-014 https://doubleddie.com/2362758.html
