Today I went to my banks as usual asked for cwr's then my teller gave me : $130 in dimes , $20 in nickels ,$3 in cents and after we fight because I'm tired to get this guy's dump with the rolls taped on both ends as his cheating filling the rolls with cannadian coins and here where I live the coin counters dont accept it and any store as well so I was telling her you must talk to himm because also the rolls are short everytime and its not fare to the other costumer like me . So I took the rolls home and quicly looked through the dimes trashed the cannadian dimes and nickels and just opened the pennies had a fast look for LWC's and set it on my dump bag but in the last roll of pennies I saw a LWC reverse up and though he missed or didnt care about this late 40's or 50's as it looks in very good shape and nice brown collor so I flipped and kbroonnnnn!..... A solid xf-au 31S . My biggest find of my life in many years and more the 1.5 million pennies searched but it came from only 6 rolls and from another coin hunter dump . Behold ....drums tum tum tum .....   The taped rolls  I know what everybody gonna say: I cant believe ! But I can only say : Me too I cant belive my self too lol ! |

Excellent find! Now you can't search anymore, because, A) You'll never have another find like this or B) You have to leave some of the great finds for the rest of us   Anyway, great find! |

Congrats!
Don't be trashing the Canadians. Banks will buy them back and they are worth more than American money right now...

you read my mind murr . the one on pcgs holder ll help me to buy a 14d upgrade or maybe a key quarter ! just to let everybody know .. I sold my LWC hoard (only kept the teens ) and it paid for the au-31s,f-38d walker ,2012 RedBook also some coin suply as folders and 2x2's etc . I'm glad I sold my hoard of LWC's as I was not doing anything with besides it was 90% late 40's and 50's ! as soon as I found a coin dealer who was paying 4 cents each I couldnt miss the opportunity . and just to explain : I also collect cannadian coin but its hard around in here because here is so many in circulation and I all ready made couple rolls of cannadian cents , nickels and have many dimes ,quarters more then I need so it makes me crazy but if we could cash at the bank it would be ok !

I am not going to voice my true feelings as that would make me out to be a petty, foul mouthed, jealous person. Which I am not. Seriously, AWESOME find dude. Edited by smokeriderdon

looks like the guy felt bad for putting a lot of Canadians and wanted to make up for it with the 31s! =)
