Finally Finished My Penny Inventory.

It's taken me 59 years to get to this point.

Get some albums and start filling them.

Nice inventory!

I used to have like 2000 copper cents until I thought it was a waste of space so I dumped them at my bank.

Haven't posted an inventory update in a while, when it hasn't been raining, I have been working on mowing, and/or equipment maint...

Spruett001..Here is the nickel inventory you were waiting on. 41 V's - 133 buff's - 2567 Jeff's (341 WTS) But I discovered I am not done.(see below)

Also, because of the rain again this weekend, I finished my Dime inventory this morning. 1 barber - 2 mercury - 506 90% silver rosies - 2899 1965 to 2017 rosies.

As I was putting the inventoried coins in the safe I started grabbing bags of quarters to start my inventory on those, when, much to my dismay, I found 3 bags of unsorted nickels and 3 bags of unsorted LMC's (1959 to 1982), so that means I still have about 3000 nickels and 3000 LMC yet to inventory. I am dreading the Quarter inventory because there are so many bags to go through, but I want to get those out of the way before I start inventory on anything else that way there are done and out of the way

After 20-25 years of ignoring the collection I decided I better do something about it. Started this project in November and have been working on it off and on since then. Once I get this complete, then it will become manageable, to where I will only need to do this once in a while as the quart jar gets full, maybe just a couple of times a year, and I can concentrate on coins needed.

Been a few weeks (closer to a month to be exact) since I last posted an update on the inventory, I have been taking advantage of the dry weather to get stuff done outdoors, seems like the more stuff I get done, the more I find to do.
I have been working on my quarter inventory off and on over the last month, and have finished through 2009. I have the next few days off for a mini staycation and plan on trying to finish the rest of the inventory, or at least through the large silver dollars. Now that I am almost done with the quarters, the rest will be a breeze. I will try and keep you guys posted more often...

Once the inventory is done, and I start putting the coins in folders, books or ? Then I will concentrate on looking for errors and varieties, and I will also know what I am missing. It's been a long 8 months of sorting, by denomination, then by decade, then by year, and now by mint mark and counting. Hope to have it completely done before the snow flies. I was going to take a year break from my collection, but that turned into 20+ years , this last year I have been playing catch-up.

I have heard that winter is a good time for collecting. I don't have much of a winter, though. I like snow, but all we get is freezing rain, sleet and ice.
