Saw a '43 Steel Penny in a "Take A Penny" tray the other night. Needless to say, I took it.

Greetings all,
Box of pennies end of last week and $20 worth today. Did about the usual - nothing too spectacular or rare - but good ratios nonetheless. My lust for foreign coinage remains unquenched - naught but Canadian. The streak must end soon. Thanks for reading!
Box: Wheat: 6 (41, 45D, 51, 51D, 52D, 56D) Canadian: 49 (61, 63, 64, 67 (4)) Lincoln Heritage: 7 (all four, both mints for one) Lincoln Shield 17 (both mints) 'S' Pennies: 5 ( 70S (3), 72S (2))
$20 Wheat: 11 (41 (2), 42D, 48, 51D, 52D, 53D (3), 56D (2)) Canadian: 44 (53, 56 (2), 57, 64 (2)) Lincoln Heritage: 18 (all four, both mint marks for two) Lincoln Shield: 64 (both mint marks) 'S' Pennies: 3 (68S, 74S (2)) Copper (not including Canadian or above applicable): 556
- Scott

Got a $50 bag to go through tomorrow. I took a quick glance and saw a couple of wheats and canadians. Looks like alot of copper, too! My last bag was just OK...so I got my fingers crossed on this one! And a grape slurpee and some cowbell sounds good right now!

Mainman750 me too, its the only WAM that I found. I have found some clipped cents, a few big Cuds and the basic common errors. I was reading about the modern S mints I find them all about the same, the most is the 74. I am also working on AU or better roll set of Lincoln memorial cents. I have about 50 rolls complete so far. The hardest ones to find in good shape are the 80's zinc Lincolns. The one that I am having trouble with and that I have only found about 15 and I have searched about close to 40 boxes is the 1969 Philly. I have found more 1969-S coins then the Philly's for some reason.

Johnny, really nice looking WAM you got there, but I like that 1916S just a bit better.

Thanks Oldcoach, I like it also, I found that in my first box of cents that I looked at. After I was done jumping up and down, I was hooked lol.

That 1916S is a great looking coin....I've found over 30 16D's but never a 16S...great job!

Thanks HoosierDaddy, thats the only D or S mint teen that I have found. I found about 20 P mint cents from the teens roll searching. The best find was 2 1910's in the same box. What part of Indiana are you from. I am from North West corner about 25 miles from downtown Chicago.

HoosierDaddy....I sent a PM if you're serious just want to be sure we stay within guidelines. Johnny, there are a few of us that believe saving nice zincs from the 80's will pay off in our lifetime because they are so hard to find in good condition. I put them back along with nice examples of 90's and 00's...what the heck, it's not like I'm losing anything
