Wow, Maine, what kind of bag is that? Off a coin machine? Low on Wheats by my numbers, but high on copper and an IHC... makes it worth it.

Well the boxes have been weak on older stuff so today, at lunch, I went around a loop and hit 3 of my bank branches asking for customer wrap only. At 2 of the branches I got $5 each. I looked in two rolls and saw a wheat in each and lots of copper.
There are 2 more branches I could have hit within a few miles. All 5 are no farther than I do lunch.
So I'm going to do the loop once a week and see what happens. If they start expecting me ...

Merc, I get all of my bags from a counting machine...pick them up Monday and dump them Thursday morning because they go back to the Fed Thursday afternoon...costs me 5% to dump but it sure beats rolling pennies.

Great finds on the 1910 and 1912, I know I was jumping up and down when I found the 2 of them last year. Its awesome you can find something that old still in circulation.

timsumrall...my credit union has one...and the good part is that they are happy to accomodate me...they even give me extra when they have them, but I have a standing order for $50 every week.

Pulled a 1958 Wheatie in AU55 RB, nicely toned an almost dark crimson color today. Solid upgrade for my circulation Wheat cent set.

I haven't found a WAM in a while. I think my streak is up to $300 so far... Guess I gotta pay the piper for finding all 3 in mint-state so close together.

5150 That SD 1960 is simply a great find. I know the coppercoins states that he has never found one. I picked on out of a box that was an obvious copper dump about 2/3 months ago. well over 90% of the coins in the box were copper and with them was the SD 1960. Posted it here a while back.
congrats. Jim
