What amazing results. It is a good thing you got so many increasing your chances of good finds like those. As I box hunt cents here in the States and living relatively close to Canada, I have started tossing my Canadians into two jars - one before and one on and after 1960.

@Fireman638: Good move!
If We are going to discontinue our penny one day I will also order 200 boxes for searching later.

Very nice finds! I know exactly what you mean about the taller rolls. Half a million pennies is a lot of searching! You must have found more than a few little gems. Do you keep almost everything and organize by year or dump a lot of them?

Since the RCM will be (or are) melting pennies, I wonder what the value will be in 5 or 10 years for: Pre 1940 pennies 1940-1980 pennies 1980 and up pennies I expect to see a HUGE increase in these values, as I am betting that the RCM was able to pull 80% or more during this time, and this % will only increase as time goes by. |

O-train, I don't dump any. I sort by year and variety and sell them on ebay either individually or by the roll. I separate out USA and other foreign to sort later, and also separate any that are AU to be assembled into full sets later. I haven't tried selling any rolls pre-1960 yet, I'm waiting until I'm done sorting. I want to put a roll of each year and variety away for each of my kids. I've found quite a few clipped planchettes, one blank planchette, and other eye catchers. Great way to pass time! LeoS, I'm hoping the value jumps.....it'll be a year or two before I'm completely done sorting and organizing. I use my sales to add to my personal collection, and it's been working good so far!

Where/how are you going to dump that many coins? I can see the bank tellers bolting the doors as you pull into the parking lot with your car bottoming out from all the weight.  |

Brag away! That is what keeps everyone going to the bank, especially after getting skunked!! I love hearing stories like yours. Great Find!
