Greg73 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 2:06 pm I am a new member to the site. I have read post on this site for the last year or so, but just joined. My Father-in-Law keeps all of the pennies in a 5 gallon jar. This last 4th of July, I brought home the jar! So far I have found many AU to BU coins for many years. Main goal is to finish some of the repeat sets I have. I will let you know how it goes. Picture shows the sheets I use to help sort. Report this Post to the Staff

Out of curiosity, how long has he been throwing his pennies in this jar? CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Greg73 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 3:28 pm John-77, I have found some (not as many as hoped). They are the piles in the bottom right corner. The best my father-in-law can remember was he has been doing this for 20+ years. So every penny he came across has left circulation once he got it. The finds support this. I have found some older LMC that you can tell were pulled from circulation decades ago. After filling in the extra folders, I will place the remainder keepers in 2x2's. Report this Post to the Staff
John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2915 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 4:34 pm Cool, Greg... I'm going to assume that (since I don't see a sheet for S's) you're not on the West coast... Hopefully you'll find some BU examples of the tougher Philly coins like the 1969, and the 1982 Small Dates. Happy hunting! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!
