I'm new here and this is my first post. I coin rolled hunted pennies from 2012-2015 at a time I couldn't do much, if any, metal detecting. I decided to CRH pennies since they are, for the most part, the worst condition coins to come out of the ground when metal detecting. Silvers can usually be cleaned and made to appear in good shape...a tall task for pennies. Anyways, I had three local banks that would save me all their CWR's brought in. I would purchase them from the banks. All three were gracious enough to give me the thick, clear plastic bags to put $25 in pennies in and return them when I was finished. They would send these on, I guess, to the reserve after pickup. I had (still have, if anyone would like a blank copy) an Excel spreadsheet that would keep up with totals as I posted them. These are my totals from those four years. Feel free to ask questions if you like.

When I checked my spreadsheet from years ago, I thought I would post. At the least, it will be interesting to see how things have changed since I stopped four years ago. I have the above totals in much greater detail (mint marks, foreign coins, etc) if anyone would like to ask.
