Anything I should know or Any tips? Should I ask for something specific? I am hoping to purchase 300$ worth of pennies this pay (I know I may have to order ahead of time or go to multiple banks).

How did your request for 12 boxes of cents work out?

$300 in pennies? That's a lot and extremely heavy.

yea I realized I might've been a bit over zealous, I instead went to a few banks and pick up 2 boxes of pennies and one box of nickels. Still heavy.

How are you planning on sorting through them -- just taking the copper out or do you collect dates, errors, etc? We'd be interested in hearing about your finds!

I am sorting out errors so I am looking for 1985
1983
1979
1978
1976
and 65 and older, found a few 40's so far will give an update after I've finished the second of three boxes, the only real keepers from the nickels were a 1945 victory nickel and a 1949, no 64 extra waterline or spitting queen.

Nice range of early dates, godless! The 1952 double date and the 1962 guitar are worth the price of admission right there. You mentioned that the 1962 is a guitar variation -- is it the harp variety or a different variety altogether?

well they're fun finds to be sure, but they will most likely grade poorly, the 1962 is essentially the harp version although instead of 3 "strings" it has five also found both of the 1983 variations (near and far beads) both in pretty awesome condition, at the very least AU maybe even Ms but I'm no expert, more news to come.
