I go through pennies as well. I keep the coppers, but I wouldn't say it was economicial smart to spend the time doing it.

I have found some AM wides 1998 and 2000. Also, found a 1900 cent. Then mostly common wheats.

I have some 1992s that are very close to closed, but their is a small gap. I have assumed that they are normal. Does anyone have a picture of the closed 1992 and 1992 d.

Hey guys, I just pulled a steelie from a roll today. It appears to me that a lot of folks around here are desperate for cash and all of those legendary jars of accumulated pennies are being rolled and exchanged for "folding" money.

I am considering getting one of these.

Reroll the zincs and send them back to the bank. Then I will have an easier time sorting for the wheaties and OCCASIONAL IHC, still hoarding all the copper.

As it is now, I hoard all the copper cents. For the 1982s I use the ring test. Need a good ear for this one, but dropping a copper cent produces a ring, where a zinc cent sounds flat.

I know people that will buy wheatie common rolls for $1.50 and copper Memorials for 80 cents to a dollar.

I would love one of those. But think of all the boxes you are going to have to go through just to make that money back. And you do not get the chance to see any varieties, wheaties or any other fun finds!
