 Well, I posted a day or so ago that I had Gotten my Very First Box of pennies from the box. Look what I found in the THIRD roll.   Yes, it is Beat up I know, BUT, The newest coin in the roll was a 2013 LMC. I didn't think I could find something this old in a Coin Roll. I am NOW HOOKED for good.     Back to it.

Gosh my oldest was 1906. I'm so addicted to CRH. I just see another roll and wonder what is in it. The joy of finding something like that, makes me want to go through many more rolls. Lucky you!

You found a IHC in your very first box of cents? I've only gotten one and it took about 6 or 7 boxes to get that one. It kind of makes you wonder how it has stayed in circulation so long... |

Yes sir, my first box, third roll in. My wife was looking at me going " What's wrong? , what's the matter? " I guess I was a little excited and startled her. I foresee more boxes of pennies in my future.  |

Some nice specimens found by the group - it is quite a delight to find something unexpected even when you are looking! For me, the thrill is in the collecting - be it a small find or a grand one. While I have several purchased coins in my collection, I prize the coins I've found in circulation the most; from a roll, in my change, out of the ground....or lying on a bar table. The joy of making discoveries. Sometimes buying a coin is the only realistic way of getting a coin that is in circulation obsolescence (to the highest degree) or at a desirable grade. Buying is pretty easy to do, especially if you have the means. But from a purist's standpoint, I think it might be missing the point of collecting (self declared hypocrite here). Congrats on the Mercury dime, IHCs and V nickel...and whatever else you find that delights you. Happy hunting!! |

Nice find! IH's, for me, are far more rare than V nickels. Always a welcome find! |

Thanks guys. It's very cool to be searching, especially when you look at a coin and think you might have 'something'. The old heart starts to racing.  Like being a kid again. I LOVE IT !  |
