snafu0571 Valued Member United States 478 Posts	Posted 10/30/2025 8:56 pm I agree with small date copper and the fact that the OP may have just found his first one. As many boxes and rolls as I have looked through I only have a dozen or so of the small date copper so I keep them when I find one in great shape. still looking for the elusive small date D copper lol Report this Post to the Staff
