Burks Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Congrats! That's a lot of searching. Any specific number goal in mind for this year? I've found one of those counterstamped cents as well. Should have a photo somewhere.... Also have found a Kennedy and four leaf clover cents as well. No idea where they disappeared to though (at least they are in 2x2's!).

Scottishmoney Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The one I have is the same, there is a spot on the back where it looks like it was superglued to something, probably a novelty ring. I think I heard somewhere that someone made these and put them on cheap rings and they were sold in 25¢ machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan769 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 29 wheats out of 10,000 coins? WOW, that's a lower % than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 29 wheats out of 10,000 coins? WOW, that's a lower % than I thought. Usually I average about 10 per 2500, so I should have had 40 of them or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan769 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Usually I average about 10 per 2500, so I should have had 40 of them or so. That seems about right. I usually find one or two wheats for every 5 rolls searched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 But there is a silver lining, well at least a bronze lining, more than 40% of the total ended up in the 5 gallon jug. Now it is at the point where I am concerned about it bursting from the weight, and the other problem is - How to get them out or even move them since it must weigh well over 100lbs now.

Coinjoe2006 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 You could always divide them? Maybe use an old milk jug with the lid cut off or something? and put coins from each decade in their own milk jug. It would be a lot of work, but if you have any kids, its sure to occupy them! And who knows?? You might come across something nice you missed earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 And here I am, in Canada, finding a 1940 Wheatie in my closet the other day Just as all Canadians are closet Americans, all canadian cents are closet lincolns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCanadianM Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm afraid I didn't get that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Sounds like you do as I do and go for the $50 bags of cents rather than playing around with rolls. That means you get them prior to them being put into another machine for rolling. I've been doing that for many years. Try it with nickels and you could just about fill a Whitman album the first time. As usual I suggest if your going to go through all those cents, get the book Looking Through Lincolns for all the error cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
