Most of my other good penny finds were from 2lb bags, a couple weeks ago I decided to step it up and grab a 40lb bag, and after searching many many pennies it finally showed up.

Great find. There is nothing better than searching 1 cent coins and finding a great coin. I was lucky enough to find a couple as well. Happy hunting.

Nice coin I have some Canadian pennies that I believe to be a high grade as well

mrmadi - the coin shown isn't posted because it's old, and also not because it's a high grade, only about F.
The reason it is posted is because it is a very rare "No Shoulder Fold" type that is probably the rarest, in any grade, for regular circulating Elizabeth II cents.
I have searched for this variety since the early 1970's when 1940 and 1950 cents were still fairly new and abundant, and have found 1 in circulation, in F condition.

Amazing find, jmclean !!

Great find! Looks like a nice problem-free example too!

Thanks everyone, was pretty exciting to find. I thought I had had one, only to turn it over and see it was a 53 which in that case the no shoulder fold is common, then right after same thing happens again so didnt get my hopes up, but was a 55 that time. Didnt think id fill that hole in the book anytime soon.
