Stopped at the bank on my way home from work and picked up $20 worth of cent rolls. This is the first time I have ever done this, so it's your fault :p

First roll opened as follows.
Oldest cent 1959 d
Newest cent 1981
Best one, a 1965 with a pesky finger print.

Wait till you find your first Wheat cent, then you'll really be over the moon. (Or at least I was)

Have gone through about half a dozen rolls, and I can tell that they have been gone through. All the rolls so far have been segregated 1959 to 1981 and 1982 and up. But I found this nifty little item.

Is the one wheat you still need a 1909-S VDB by chance? Still hoping to find one of those searching a box.

I went through $15 worth and have 19 empty holes in my 1975 to 2013 flip. I found 4 "S" nothing but hole fillers.

The manager is a friend of mine and let it slip that he checks rolls, so I'm going to have to find so other ways to find rolls.

Wife and I went through the final five dollars worth of rolls tonight. I'll post pictures of the final result. All of the rolls had been searched, but who ever had them didn't do a very good job. The only thing I didn't get was any 2009 D's. I did get one 82 small date copper, 4 "S" and a nice grease punch. I have to dig it out of the album to see if it is a WAM. I doubt my luck is that good.

Getting ready to wrap up all the "zinkies" my wife says can I have them? " sure can baby, what's up?" They are having a competition at her work to see who can raise the most money with get this " PENNIES"!! Guess who volunteered to count and wrap all of them ;)

Here is what I got out of $20 worth of rolls. The LWC are from what I had laying around, all the LMC came out of the rolls.

Quick and efficient way to fill a folder! That's how I started my second Lincoln set. Thanks, bank!
