People get too worried about ugly, gummed up finds. I just take mine to the sink, rinse 'em with hot water and use my fingers to rub it off....you just have to on some coins to be able to read them.

John Paul Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 10:50 pm Looked through 5 rolls - found and 1935 which was much better than the one I already had. Report this Post to the Staff
Boeing_to_EMD New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 11:16 pm Searched 10 rolls today... A few red BU's from the '70s, a '46-D wheatie, and a '20 wheatie in well circulated condition. Still, the oldest roll find to date! Report this Post to the Staff
wulffy11 Pillar of the Community United States 543 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 11:33 pm I searched an entire $25 box of pennies today. Among those were nine wheats, which equates to 1 for every 278 pennies searched. I got the following: 1940-D, 1941, 1941-S, 1945, 1953-D (still had some luster), 1953-S, 1956, 1957-D, 1958. The 2009 cents are really making waves now as I found over twenty. In all, there were 647 coppers for 25.8% copper penetration. I managed to find examples of all seven varities of the 1982 cents! As well, there were three 1970-S cents and two 1974-S. If I were to assemble a set of all Lincoln cents starting from 1959 for the first time, there would be ten that weren't in the box. (1959, 1960-D LD, 1968-S, 1969-S, 1971-S, 1972-S, 1973-S, 2009-D, LP2, 2009 LP4, 2012-D) Report this Post to the Staff
