Merc Crazy, I use a 1 gallon plastic jar that once held pickled eggs. I filled it and shook to settle while doing so. Then I took it to the coin counter at my bank...did it 8 times and it was anywhere from $50.60 to $51.80.I count that as $50 when I sell the coppers.They get a couple bucks extra but hey, it's good business.When you do that, just make sure to have a routine and keep it...I learned that from loading rifle cartridges.

I talked to my girlfriend... she's unemployed at the moment, so I may just pay her a portion of my profits from selling the copper to count them out by hand. But I like your idea as well.

Manieman ROCKS at unloading copper! Are sales still good? I might start unloading.

I know this is probably a doofey question, but it's mine nonetheless. My grandson and I are starting him a cent collection. Grammy here has a magnifying glass now that helps but I'm confused. I thought that D = Denver P = Philadelphia and S = San Francisco. Why are so many cents lacking any marking at all? Is there a default? If it's not marked it's ____________? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm a newbie and if not here, where do I ask the dumb questions?

Birdies not a dumb question. Just read as many threads as you can it will all start to make sense....maybe. Lol
Did 10 dollars today nothing really astounding, however, did find an 09 lp2 DDR-004. And an 1975D-1MM-004! I'll take it!

yes birdies: D is for denver S is for san francisco p is for philli and no mint mark usually means it is a philli coin. for instance, modern quarters and nickels will have the p on the obverse when they are from philli, but modern philli pennies will have no mint marks at all and we can assume they are philli. denver pennies will have the d on them. |

While searching a Brinks box last nite I pulled a '82 that looked like it was struck on a nickle or dime planchett. I know you want pictures and I will get to that in a day or so but I was wondering if I missed something about the 82 crossover from copper to zinc. Could this be a practice run on a different metal? Doesn't look plated or tampered with?

Last year I found a '68 Canadian that looks the same. Should I transfer this to another thread?

Finished a box last night & there was not one wheat!   The rolls were not plastic wrapped but paper. Has anybody ever went through a whole box and not found a wheat?  |
