I got a bag of change from a friend who's house flooded during Ian and after we cleaned out all the damaged furniture, drywall and floors I noticed a wet bag of change. I asked what he was gonna do with it? He said coin star it.... I said I will buy it off you, how much? He said I could have it for helping. I gave him 20 bucks anyways. When I came home I dried all the change on some towels and went through it. Had a few nice finds including a 2011 WDDO 005, 1998 Wide AM and three 2004 DDR LMCs. I will post the others separately later.
His house flooded during Irma too. Took a year to get the insurance company to fix it, so 2 years ago it was fully remodeled. This time they are fixing it and selling it. They lost everything, again. But they have their lives, it was all material things that can be replaced.
Been going through about 5 boxes of pennies a week with my 7 year old son. He picks out all the wheat cents, Canadians, odd balls. He also has a knack for finding off struck coins, clipped planchets and other nice finds. I have the tedious job of scoping all the coins looking for the good stuff.
