Quote: Thats a cool counterstamp merclover! Thanks! And the weird thing is that there were eight of them in the same roll! All 1976D, and all have two counterstamps (the liberty bell and the outline of the states). All have glue and paper residue on the backs, so they must have been glued to a board or something. Must have had something to do with the Bicentennial. These are my first counterstamps... some people collect these, right? I'm not sure what I'll do with them. I assume a double counterstamp is even more desirable, right? Les

On Sunday July 31st, I made an amazing discovery in a customer wrapped roll of Lincoln cents... the coin was found in San Diego Ca.   I purchased a zOrb digital camera hoping to use it to post images. I found it created images that contained too many pixels (apparently too big). I used my brother's cell phone (and they had to be resized to fit) this posting. Sorry guys, I'm just a low tech photo guy - and have not yet mastered the resizing feature to make the zorb images fit! These are the best photos I could arrange given cell phone capabilites, and my limited photo sizing/cropping/imaging capabilities... I'll get better eventually... Best, LastGold

It was from one of 6 banks on Mira Mesa Blvd. (Clairemont area). I got CWR Lincoln cents on 7-30-11 and checked them the next day.
By the way, I dump my coins at the Union Bank of Ca. (in Poway). If you're going to venture away from the East county, might want to avoid that bank!
I'm going to now, get back to the Zorb, and try altering resolutions on images, to make the thing work on this website!

By the way, I'm sure Bad Thad meant 1857 not 1987... you did right?

LastGold: I dump coins in clairemont occasionally. My wife's grandfather lives in del mar so when we visit him I stop in clairmont to dump. The Pacific Trust bank there has a free coin counter in the lobby if you have an account there. At Union Bank Of California, you just have to hand wrap your coins when you dump, correct?

Yes, the coins must be hand wrapped to dump at the Union Bank of Ca. in Poway. The Pacific Trust is not one of the Banks I get coin from. When you do dump on Clairemont, what bank do you dump at?
Best,

That is an awesome find on the 1857 Lostgold! My oldest find so far is a 1899 Indian Head cent.

a flying eagle, that's unheard of. that's the earliest small cent you can find out there.

What about the 1856 FE? Of course, the odds are insane, but it's still possible.

Best,
LastGold I used to be a member of UBoC but I dropped them. And I dont get coins at Pacific trust bank, I dump there. There are a few in san diego. They have free coin counters for customers. So I dump at the coin counter in clairemont when I go there. Very convenient instead of having to roll coins.
