When are you going back to get the second bag? If you don't want it let me know where it is and I'll go get it. :)

I much prefer to search bags over boxes/rolls. It moves a LOT faster and you get a lot more coins to search.

It is quicker and easier to search a bag, since it takes extra time to open the rolls. That is awesome you got it and congrats on the nice finds. You should look for a few easy varieties like the 1998-00 WAM. You'll be amazed that you'll find a few here and there. I'll find one every few thousand coins I search. The 99 is the toughest of them all and almost impossible to find. Good luck! |

There is $50.00 in a bag. So far I have found 5 rolls of wheats, 3/4 roll of red wheats, 3/4 roll of pre 1960 canadians and the big one so far a 1922D that my daughter found. I will post pics ASAP. The oldest so far is a 1910. Still have almost half the bag to search.

I still have yet to find a place that sells bags , BofA told me there were fees for boxes , I said ok so what are they . They opened a brochure and it was like a few bucks per hundred dollars ordered coin. Which in reality maybe better than no fees , because the hassle of going through what we gotta do to get loads of pennies sometimes seems worse than dumping them!, a small fee could be more than worth it. Lol I was like ok great I'll order $300 pennies and I'll pay those fees. At any rate it was prolly to deter me from ordering but they haven't charged me fees to date for ordered coin.

I am also interested in what banks give bags. Sounds like a smart way to hunt - congrats on your finds!

I would have been happy with the 85 Cud, throw in a 22 and I'm dancing a jig.  Smart move on the second bag. Edited by DrDon
