corkykile Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Okay a couple of questions. How far apart do the A and M need to be to be considered a Wide A M? Next, is there anyone out there who knows where old useless coppers and zincs go to die? Last weekend a friend decided to give me his collection of three 2# coffee cans and one old quart canning jar full of pennies. So far I have gotten through a total of 3,822 pennies which I have searched carefully. I managed to find a few really nice goodies which I will share photographically after I am done with the rest. Among the complete batch of pennies I have found about one quart jar of totally useless pennies that need to be recycled. What are we suppose to do with them? I know, I will send them to D.C. to the president. Don't you think he would appreciate them? Anyway, I have probably 4 or 5 thousand more pennies to search, so better get back to them.

You will know it when you find one. ohmigosh I think I made some sort of serious mistake somewhere, could almost swear I saw some and thought they were too close together. Well, here I go again.

corkykile Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 well if u lived in ohio id come n help!!! always up for a good search!! Hey, you are welcome anytime! I did one of my 'try to save the penny' routines and came up with some might purty pennies. Will share when I catch my breath and can use the camera again without too much shaking. Didn't realize this could be so addictive... aarrgghh. Out of the nearly 4.000 I have searched I have found about four hundred I have put aside to double check when my eyes aren't crossed like they are today. Will get back to you young fella.

corkykile Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 P.S. There are only a few wheats in this hoarde of Lincoln cents. But the condition of some of the later dates would make some people drool... especially Dustin. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
