Hello all,
I recently acquired a massive amount of circulated coins, close to 10,000 total, from a guy that I work with. He was short on cash and was going to take them to a "coinstar" to cash them in. In total there were 8652 pennies, 412 nickels, 111 quarters, 342 dimes, 2 ikes, 2 susie b's, 23 rolls of pennies and couple mexican pesos. The math may have been a little off, but I gave him a check for $172.07.
As soon as I got these home, I began to search them. I gave ALL the pennies a "once over" and pulled the wheat cents. There were 91 wheaties and 23 Canadian pennies. I filled a Whitman Jeff. Nickel album 62 to 95, absent a 1978-d.
He had 1 plastic container filled with pennies, where none where dated over 1989. They look excellent! I finally own and can tell the difference between a small and large date '82
Lincoln Cent.
Anyhow, I've been constantly using my
RedBook and the FORUM to insure that I am not overlooking any FINDS. I stumbled across a thread that contained the
Lincoln Cent Resource site and I totally got my mind blown away.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to search these other that one by one with a flashlight. I'm open to anything.
