I've had a bit of a dry spell on WAM's...only one in $175 worth of pennies...found about 50 wheats and a 72 DDO-008...but that's about it. I do need to dump some pennies...have almost $700 in the spare room. |

Last few boxes have been the pits for me. Three commons wheaties in one box four in the other, 5 candians in one and 2 in the next. No WAMS no Cams have been getting some nice S's though. Things have to get better at some point.

Well, I thought it was $50 but it turned out to be $100....then somebody gave me $30 worth at Christmas dinner..they were going to cash them in and remembered me talking about roll searching...guess it pays to let your friends know even if they look at you like your a little off  |

Howdy all,
Free diner and 30 dollars worth of pennies, if it weren't for bad luck you'd have none at all! Can I help?

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  First, I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Now, to the point. Getting ready for company last night, my darling bride asked me to clean-up my office. Seemed like a fair request so about an hour latter I had everything of value tucked away, had vacuumed and only had the four gallon jugs of cents to deal with. Three of them were full of coppers and the other held the run of the mill Wheats I have found roll searching. I decided to take the three jugs of coppers out to the garage and dump them into one five gallon pail which I promptly did. Then, I took the Wheats and put them in the bottom of my locking bookcase. By now, I am sure you have guessed happened. This morning's church has been canceled by this lovely snow storm so I thought I would search a few rolls. I found about about half a dozen Wheats and after studying them went to put them in the jug. It was full and starting to crack so I thought, Jim, why not put them into a bigger bucket and after retrieving one dumped the jug into it. Yup, memorials, not Wheats. So, a big part of today will be spent sorting through a five gallon container that is 3/4 full of Wheats and memorials. Just wait guys. Those of you not old enough to appreciate the deterioration of your eye sight have some fun things to look forward to. LOL Well guys, I have work to do.  Jim Edited by Jim1953

Merry Christmas Jim, My Christmas-wish for you is that the one jar full of wheats was dumped either first, or last into the bucket...and NOT the one in the middle.  It would make the job a tad bit easier then. Quote:
