amadeusbojiuc New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 3:40 pm I believe I went through about 20,000-30,000 pennies to find this but it was worth it. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me the grade or value of the coin? Thanks Edited by amadeusbojiuc 04/15/2011 3:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

big777bill Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 4:17 pm Congratulations on your find! I would say the coin is a VG-10 to a F-12. Better pics would help to pin the grade down. Welcome to the forum. God Bless, Bill P.S. The coins worth is about $2 Edited by big777bill 04/15/2011 4:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

matt New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 05:50 am I guess I'll be a buzzkill and say what's on my mind: how is searching 30,000 pennies worth it to find one coin you could have bought for $2 at any coin shop? Report this Post to the Staff
Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 06:03 am Thrill of the hunt Matt! Plus, the hoard of other coins you find along the way. Everyone has different reasons for searching. I have quite a few coins in mind while searching a box and seldom come away with at least a roll of pennies that I keep, if not more. That doesn't include the copper pennies I set aside. Report this Post to the Staff
amadeusbojiuc New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 2:05 pm Finding a coin like this in my opinion is much better than just going to the store and buying it. The journey of searching for it is the fun part, and yes as mentioned, the countless other valubles you find along the way are just as much fun to find too, heck I've almost filled two rolls already with wheat cents. Had I just bought it, it wouldn't really be worth anything to me as that would be taking the easy way out. Report this Post to the Staff
