Druu, I put them to the side for now. I don't like the shield pennies.

Just started roll hunting last week and decided to start with cents since that is what I am most familiar with (also got some nickles and that was really overwhelming. lol). Anyway My first $10 gave up six wheats (nothing special), three Canadian (79,87, 92), seven S-mint, and two new pennies (is that the correct plural?).  Got another $10 a couple days later which only had two wheats, five 09s, three S-mints and a bunch of BU Shield cents. Shield cents are ok for now since I havent really collected any yet. O and this funny looking guy

$30 in cents yielded 7 wheats, but the three best coins were a 1929 LWC, a 1940 George VI, and a 1958 Elizabeth II.

Nice find, Slamnbass!
I found another mini-collection dump tonight... nothing spectacular, but 22 wheats in 1 roll, and 29 in another... all common date 1940-1957 dated coins, which appear to have been out of a collection as there were only 11 different dates represented: 1940, 1941, 1945 (7), 1945-D (2), 1946 (6), 1948-D, 1951 (2), 1951-D (21), 1953-D (8), 1955-D, 1957-D. A fun find for sure! Almost all of the rest of the coins in the rolls were 1984 and 1985 dated coins in AU/BU condition.

Have had some more good finds in the cents lately... found these two 1943-S steel cents in back-to-back CWR... and also found two 1954 Philly coins the past couple of weeks out of MWR - a coin which has always been VERY elusive out here on the West coast.

Wow John those are some nice steels. Normally ones found in circulation are corroded!

Thanks, LibertyEagle20, jbuck, and aristarchus123. I was pretty shocked to find them so well preserved. The first one grades at EF-45.
