The first one I ordered from ebay. The other two came in a $25 box. While my wife and I were in San Fransisco for the day, a couple of months ago, we stopped at an old Wells Fargo bank to get some cash. I decided to go in and ask if they had any rolls of penny's. The teller asked how many, I then asked how many she had. She said she had 5 or 6 rolls in her drawer but there were $25 boxes in the vault that she said had been there for a while. I asked her how many boxes and she told me she would have to check. About two minutes later she came back and told me they had like 150 boxes and the one in the back of the pile had been there for decades according to her manager. I bought three boxes, wish I had bought more. In the second box were the two rolls with IHC Enders. One of the rolls had 3. A 1896, 1894, and a 1907. The other roll had 2 1905's. None of which are really worth bragging about. There condition was around a G4 at best. The rest were all Wheat cent. A lot of mid to late 30's 40's and 50's. Mostly beat up but there was probably around 100 decent coins. 1 of them I posted a while ago was a 1956 D/D WRPM-001. In fact, when I posted it I beleive I said I found it in some of the coins that I inherited. My wife reminded me the next day that it was in one of the rolls from S.F. By that time it was to late for me to edit the post. Hell, I even forgot that I took pictures of the rolls until a couple of days ago. Edited by Tootallious

The first and the third coin are the same: look how the crimping lines up on both and the staining on the coin matches up in both photos.  Quote:
None of which are really worth bragging about. Finding any IHC coins in the wild are celebrated here in the Coin Roll Hunting sub-forum. They are really hard to find. On some reports, people average 1 IHC per 70,000-100,000 coins. EDIT: I just saw that you posted the pictures in another thread two weeks ago saying you bought them online: http://goccf.com/t/122141#2545626C'mon dude. Some of us take CRHing seriously, and we celebrate those who find things in the wild. What's with the story about the bank with the 150 (!) boxes sitting around for decades? I know this is a small issue. Edited by aristarchus123

Yes, I did buy one on line! The other two did come from the one of the three boxes that I purchased from Wells Fargo in S.F. And I never said that I believed the tellers story of 150 boxes that most of them had been there for "decades" according to her manager. When she said that I thought "sure, whatever". I too find that hard to beleive. As far as the photos, I apologize, I did post the same one twice and yes I did post the one from ebay on another thread. I did open one and started to dump them into my hand when my wife suggested taking some pics of the rolls, that is why the pic shows is being rolled back up. Here are a couple of the pics that I meant to post here yesterday. Other than that, you can beleive what ever you want as I am not going to explain any further. Have a nice day.   |
