SKUNKED! WOW! I can't believe my latest box of pennies did not produce a SINGLE Wheatie! Oldest coin in the box was a 1959. Copper penny content really seems to be dwindling as well - down to about 15% of the rolls. Did land 6 Canadian pennies though - oldest of which was a 1972.

After give up on pennies about 2 months ago , I went to bank today asked for halves and the teller said she didnt have but she have $25 cwr's of pennies ( she knows I used to look for them ) so why not give one more try ? Guess what ? The 3rd roll a 1909 plus a 1998wam ! I wonder what else can be in these rolls lol !

I picked up a box from Wells Fargo and it looked like a very new box. Sometimes the boxes look a little scuffed. Of course I was excited. Upon opening it I found loads of bright shiny 2011D pennies, mixed with a few older cents in every...single...roll. Doh! I would have loved complete rolls of 2011. I'm going to make a few rolls and dump the rest. Sorry for the bad color on the picture.  |

Got 8 dollars in CWRs today.I have got one roll down and found a Canadian cent with a dove on it. How common are these? As I have no knowledge of Canadian currency.

I generally don't search while I'm sorting. I get to go back and look through tubes and rolls of stuff when I do search. I had about 20 2009P LP2 (I don't get a lot of Phillys ) that where nice enough to pull and decided to look for the extra finger. First cent looked at!! and of course nothing after that   One of lots of types but still fun to find and easy to see. |

I searched through $25 in CWR today and they yielded the following:
*3 clad Roosevelts
*15 Wheats (Oldest was 1948)
*23 Canadians (Including a '64 and a Centennial one from '67)
But the real treat was when I was dumping the coins. I looked down and I saw a very corroded reverse with "One Cent" and a wreath around it, I pick it up and it turns out it was my first Indian Head from circulation. I had to clean it up a bit to see what the date was, and based on observation, it's a 1902. This is now the oldest cent I've found in circulation and the oldest coin I've found, beating out a 1908 Liberty Head nickel.

dMAN, don't blame ya, and I don't really think there is much collector value...just the cool factor. Cool find on the IHC SilverRoosevelt...my best find on dimes was 29 in a $50 bag of cents...coin counter must have had a bad day  |
