 jram! Good luck and have fun on your first box. And those were some pretty good finds for just 2 rolls.

I have been wanting to get into searching boxes of pennies as well but there seems to be so many key and semi key dates, Wide AM and error's to look for it just sounds exhausting

Didn't want to start a whole new thread, so I figured I'd post here. I'm thinking that I don't like the holes in my Lincoln Cent dansco, so I found a few auctions on ebay for 6 blank planchets for $8.50. Is this a good deal? Also, how do the rest of you deal with holes that you're not going to be able to fill for a while? Do you prefer the holes, or would planchets be a better idea, or even something else? Thoughts?

You may want to start a new thread if you want a larger audience.  My holes will stay empty until the proper coin is bought for it. No blank planchets or inverted duplicates for me. Constantly seeing the hole is a reminder and incentive to fill it with the proper coin.

I picked up box #5 (if my count is right). I'm happy with any wheats I find, but this box was forgetable:
1941 1944 1945 1946D 1949 1953 1953D 1956D x2 1957D

I have been finding brand new looking cents (red, shiny, and perfect) from the early 1960's while roll hunting. Are these worth keeping in your opinion.. or should I just toss them back? Thanks!

Thanks! The general consensus is that you keep whatever makes you happy. Now, while that's a very diplomatic answer, it really is the correct one. I happen to keep them. It's only 1ยข, so there's really no downside. I am, admittedly a hoarder, though, as most CRH's are.

i tend to hold on to anything bright red and have collected over 30 full rolls of pre 70's cents in a few months. Then I sell lots of 5 or more together and make 5 times face if not more.
