MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 04/07/2008 09:11 am Didn't take me long to figure out I'm not going to find many of the early years going thru rolls of cents. Idea!! Buy them. Put up a sign in my son's service station. Buying wheat leaf pennies, yes I used pennies, didn't want to confuse the public. 3 cents apiece or $1.50 a roll. At first nothing, but word must be getting around, a few rolls have been trickleing in. Mostly late 30s, 40s and 50s. Have managed to pick up a 1909, 1911 and a 1912D. If any of the cent collecters here are tight with someone dealing with the public, this might be worth your while. Report this Post to the Staff

I have had some very good luck acquiring silver coins this way (got a 1894-P Morgan in a collection and my raw cost was under $20). Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 04/07/2008 10:46 am If you sell them in bags of 5000 for $100 each, then you have the same amount as a full price building (not worth the time, since you will have to list and sell those bags!). But if you sell the bags for $150, then you just got an extra %50 for the building! quote: if they paid in a wheelbarrow full of 1909 S VDB's Hmmm... I'm trying to determine how many of the 484,000 09SVDB's will fit in that wheelbarrow!

Too Funny, because that was being factored in as part of my calculation!
