Went to the Chase Bank on the Crown Point (Indiana) square to get a box of pennies to satisfy my copper fix. The first box was a newer type with the holes in it. I could tell they were all new pennies, appeared to be the log splitter ones. Told the teller I wanted circulated pennies. She brought out 2 more boxes, same as the first, all rolls of splitter pennies. She tld me that all they had were new.
Went to a bank up the block and got a box of circulated. Second roll I noticed a "different" penny through the plastic. It was a 1990 S that looks like someone just popped it out of a proof set.
On another note, are other penny sorters seeing more pre 1982 S mint marks? It appears I am getting more S marks, maybe 2-4 per box.

Yes,I am seeing more s-mint wheat pennies also. There appears to be a significant increase in s-mint early 70's in the last 3-4 weeks. Doesn't make much sense unless the recession has just finally hit the west and everybody is dumping change jars!

Why don't you want the boxes of Log Splitter pennies? I wish we had those down here in Louisiana.

I'm just a copper hound looking for that 90% return on my copper investment, wheaties for strength, and an occasional defect. I just have no interest in Zincolns as I feel they are an inferior coin. I started hoarding pre 82's in 1982.

I'm sure you could sell the logsplitter rolls for a couple of bucks on the forum (once you have 50 quality posts). There is always an interest here for those!

Hopefully...*crosses fingers*, by tomorrow afternoon...I'll be the happy owner of 9 rolls of 2009's. (my son works for a CVS store. He mentioned that the bank-rolls they receive are almost all 2009's.  ) I gave him $5, and ask him to get me some! He found 9 new rolls. It's probably too much to ask that the 10th roll be filled with wheaties eh?  |

Here's a pic of what my son brought me...  I haven't opened the top 2 rolls yet. Both ends of the rolls show only the obverse side. |

If you have not looked, log splitter boxes are around $100.00 on ebay. |
