It has been a couple of years since I have gotten box of cents at the bank. Today I decided to change that. The teller never gave it a second thought about me asking for a box and was very pleasant. Anyways, here are the results.
2-19-10
Wheat Cents
1934
1941 x 2
1944
1946
1948
1950-D
1952-D
1957-D x 2
Total: 10
S Mint Cents
1969-S x 2
1971-S
1973-S x 2
1974-S
Total: 6
2009 Lincolns
LP1 P 0
LP2 P x 1
LP3 P x 7
LP4 P x 3
LP1 D x 4
LP2 D 0
LP3 D 0
LP4 D 0
Total: 15
Canadian Cents
George VI 1950 x 1
Elizabeth II x 69 (Includes 2 2006 non-magnetics and 1 cull)
Total: 70
My thoughts:
Having 70 Canadian cents in my box is no surprise at all being in Michigan. I think I did quite well finding 10 wheat cents! Was disappointed I only found 6 "S" mint cents.

Be sure to check those 69s for DDO. Big money there. |

Just a few Zincoln BU's but I didn't save them. I might try using a Coinstar for the first time. I figure by the time I get some wrappers and the time it takes to roll them it might actually be worth using this time. Though I wouldn't use one for any other denomination. It was amazing how dirty my hands got going through the box!

Had a roll the other day that was obviously customer rolled.Coins were stuck together with some kinda goo and covered with cat hairs.Talk about dirty. Yuck.I'm with you on the Coinstar. I would never use it for anything but pennies.It is a "for profit machine" and what would be a better way for profit than miscounting a few coins per hundred or so.

is there a website or does someone have a list of all the DDO's and cent errors? |

Even being in Michigan, your finding only 6 S mint cents is pretty low. I guess in California they feel the same way about Philly cents.

Another thought. You can ask on CCF if anyone from CA wants to swap cent boxes with you. 2 boxes will fit in a flat rate P.O. box for about $11.

I just used a Coinstar for the first time and dumped my 2433 pennies in there from my roll search. Just got my federal tax check today so possibly tomorrow I will pick up another box or two of cents.

My thoughts:
I found it interesting that there were less Canadians this time around while there were more wheat cents in this box than the last one I searched. Also very few S mint cents at 3 total.

Yep, not bad. I'm in south Florida and you never know what you will find. Your searches have been pretty good.
