Start rolling.......lol. Wow - that may take a while!

Looks like bulk ebay auctions are averaging a 30% profit..........but that may increase in time. Actually, I think it will.......it just depends on how long you wish to sit on it.

A photo wouldn't be very dramatic, there are all in the $25 boxes that they come in from the bank.

I don't even know how many I have. It's a 5-gal pail almost full, it's about 3-4 inches from the top....at which point I'm going to stop. LOL

Thanks for the photo!

That table looks to be in pain! How about sending a box or ten my way for safe keeping?

I think everyone should hoard as many cents as possible, (I do) so the coins can't get back into circulation. This is detrimental to the wishes of the mint because it requires them to lose more money making more cents. When what they should do is eliminate the coin altogether.
