Well done & congrats.
I always love visiting this thread to see what you've pulled. Thanks! Have not been able to search much over the last few months and no fantastic finds but a little something.  -makecents-

I'm hoping to jump back in soon. I had a major (positive!) life event recent so time has been scarce. However, every time I am out I still stop by and get more pennies and nickels LOL. I'm looking at about 8-10 boxes total right now. Who knows when my banks will dry up (1 of my 2 won't give out pennies anymore), so I will continue to stock up even if I am behind on searching!

...(1 of my 2 won't give out pennies anymore)... Folks can try trading loose searched cents for new rolls. Or even offer the banks more than you are asking for in trade as an incentive. ie: offer them, let's say, 1200 loose coins for 1000 cents (ten rolls) plus $2 in any coin or bills. In other words, help the banks say yes. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It really pays to treat your local tellers well. Mine called me out of the blue today for the first time ever. "Hey, you might want to come down here today before I have to mail these back, some guy dropped off like $300 in pennies." I stopped in and was able to obtain over $300 over CWR's pennies. It doesn't look like a collection dump because I see coins up to 2004 but I also see a lot of copper so I think it may have just been someone turning in their change jar. Either way, I can usually only get like $10-20 at a time so this was huge. I will post once I start searching but it may be quite some time...LOL.

I'm only about $10 in but it looks to be a LMC bonanza. The oldest I've found is 1960 and the newest is 2004. The cool thing is a lot of the 1983 and newer are in good shape so I may be able to roll some of those up to keep. I'm not so sure I'm going to find any wheats though, this person may have sorted those out before turning them in. Still a lot of fun to search so far though! |

Very nice, especially for higher quality Memorials. Definitely worth keeping them. |

Very cool, LibertyEagle20. There are some really nice doubled dies in 1983 to keep an eye out for.

While I'm grateful for the large amount to search, it's a VERY dull search with no wheats. I think I've gone through a little over $100 and only found 3 very common wheats. I'd have to imagine the person who turned in the rolls simply missed the few I found. Some rolls were much newer than I initially reported, I even found a few 2025s. The most interesting things, aside from a lot of copper, are some S mint LMCs, plenty of 2009s, and quite a few 17-P unc coins, I set aside a bunch of post 1983 lmcs that were in good shape, I'll search those some day. I still have a lot to get through, I normally have fun but this kinda feels like a chore given the situation of them being picked over already, first world problems lol
