This topic is more for those CRHunters who somehow manage to get some pennies from banks after "Embargo Day" (as I like to call it  ) and have saved a great coin from the melting pot.. I've only gotten pennies twice from a bank teller in charge of the big coin transactions. I don't go to get EVERY roll of pennies turned in to her, I think that would draw too much attention, but I'm thankful for what she does and hopefully I'll "rescue" a coin that someone rolled up. Today was my first rescue, and my first of this one overall after CRH through at least 20 boxes - a 2006 no P no RCM magnetic.. One rare 2006 down, three to go!  Moved by Forum Mom from Canadian Coins, Bank Notes, and Paper Money forum to Coin Roll Hunting forum. |

2006P Mag, 2006P nonMag... Oh is it just two? So much the better! As for shape, not bad, it has some fingerprints that look like they could come off with plain soap and water, still good shine. I'll do that and put up some pics

Best Canadian saved from one of the boxes I picked up just prior to Feb 03 is a 1955 NSF. Filled a hole for me.
I also pulled 3 x 2006 No P No Logo Magnetic and 2 1985 Pointed 5's.
Several others that I like and are now in my collection but I would be typing all night.

I'm saving all the pre-1960 Canadian pennies I find here in US rolls, but am thinking about going newer than that. Thing is, I'm not sure what I'd do with them. I could never send copper cents to a melting pot. It's like they're part of my family once I hoard them!

Saw a big donation box filled with pennies at the nearby Tim's.. Thinking of talking to the manager about buying them, after all they'd only go to a bank anyway and some great ones could be lost... Or would this be going too far for pennies?

I bought a collection of Canadian cents from my local coin dealer that had 1920-1990 with only a very few missing. It MASSIVELY expanded my Canadian cent collection. Of course, now that I have all those, I want the whole set.

@darcyrmt - make it worth their while and offer to give them above and beyond what is in the penny box.
