Saor Alba Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Dang, the best I have done is 3 out of 50 and I was screeching like a banshee. In the last couple of years I have gleaned about 500 or so wheaties out of circulation and afforded them a long deserved retirement in a loving home.

Panama is the place. Actually in the last couple of years I think I have gotten three or so Panamanian coins, one from the Philippines, several Euro 2 cent coins from either Germany and France, lots of Canadian dating back to 1928 GV cents, Bahamas, etc. In my last box earlier this week I came up with the following finds: Yesterday I searched two cent boxes - a total of $50 in cents, 5.000 of them all total. I could have been disappointed about the lower than usual number of wheat cents, I usually average about 10 a box, this time I averaged only six per box. One had only eight wheats and the other only five, but in the latter box I made a find I would have though impossible for a coin machine counted and sorted coin. USA Wheats 1930 1939 1941 and a bit of a late date woody 1942-D 1943 - I have gotten four other steel cents from the reject slots in coin machines in the past few months - but I thought it was impossible to find that they actually went through a coin sorter machine and got wrapped because they are steel and magnetic! 1945 X 2 1950-D 1952-D 1953 1955-D X 2 1958 San Francisco Mints 1969 X 3 1970 1971 x 5 1973 1974 A 1980 cent with the Masonic symbol stamped on it, someone must have spent their "lucky penny" Canada George VI 1946 YH Elizabeth II 1955 1959 1962 x 4 1963 1964 x 6 1967 Centennial Then I returned the rejects, the post 1982 coins, to another bank with a coin sorter. When I got there, I looked in the slot and voila, there was 41 cents in mostly Canadian change waiting for me to bring to a loving home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyLoafer63 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Oh Wow!! I can tell you have alot more experience than I do or ever will have probably...LoL I usually average about mmm 6-8 wheat's and maybe 5-6 S'........I've never thrown an S' or a wheat back.....The S' are like hitting the lottery here,ya know! I have ton's of Canadian's,the earliest I think is 1920 and some 2000+ that are in great condition to be from roll's! I found my first and only euro about 6 month's ago....Lord it was like Christmas to me,then I found a bahamian a few week's ago and now the Panama........(Thank You for filling me in) I must've missed that day of school and didn't learn about people actually having coin's in other countrie's.... I found a plastic school money coin in one...LoL It never get's boring does it?? I have never to this day found a 43 at all Found everything but that! Oh I found a 1969 with Kennedy's profile on it today also......Thank God I had seen one before or I'd have probably fell over with shock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I never searched the S's when I lived out on the Left Coast but did occasionally turn them up in circulation, but I would opin that they are maybe a bit more common outside of the Left Coast which is their usual pasture - if only because people are less familiar with them. I turn up the nickels from 1968-1970 from time to time also. About a year ago I found a 1919-S in a roll, rather worse for the wear, but I was pleased as punch to find a nearly 90 year old San Fran coin in a roll. Yes, I have gone through hundreds of boxes. My wife tolerates it better, even though I have several 100lb jugs of pre-1982's stashed, than if I go out and buy some five figure coin that gets me into the doghouse for weeks. Cheap and undestructive pursuits says I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyLoafer63 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Oh,Good mind's think alike huh? I stash my 82-83's till I am certain they aren't doubled die's,because I just started searching roll's about a yr ago.but I am trusting myself more now and actually can bear to part with some of those....Ive bought the book's and tool's I need except for a camera but maybe if I hit the jackpot I can get a good one, Flatbed scanner's weren't meant for coins....'LoL My very first vacation since I was 12 year's old and Bam...lost mine in the ocean! So somewhere there are shark's laughing at the crazy lady who donated them a cam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
