Scottishmoney Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Today after noting that Burks and SMS were buying boxes of $25 worth of cents, I did the same and broke with the $20 thing. The finds continue to astound: GERMANY 2 Euro Cents 2003 D (Never realised these are the same size as a cent.) CANADA George VI 1950 1951 Elizabeth II 1961 1964 X 2 USA 1926 ! Oldest found in any roll search, beat the 1927 record from a few weeks ago 1937 1941 1951-D 1952-D 1954-D X 2 1955-D 1956-D X 2 1958-D X 2 1964 BU 1972 BU X 15 Somebody most have broken a BU roll and loosed them in a coinstar. 1980 Not exciting, but for being about 5-7% off centre. 1986 Red Cent, painted deep red with fingernail polish. This time roughly a quarter of the roll was pre-1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 And nothing like having the feline help out, he likes cents too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 My cat also has a thing for cents. He won't bother any other coins except the ones (amazingly) I'm searching through. It isn't uncommon for me to turn to check my e-mail and turn back around with two or three cents missing. I'll walk into the next room and there Dilly is, swatting the coins around like a bug. Nice finds with the Euro and 1950's Canadian cents. Oldest Canadian cent I found was sometime in the 60's.....67 seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I am a bit closer to the Canadian border than you are. The earliest Canadian cent I found was a 1933 several years ago. It is still not too uncommon to see GVI cents in change in Canada, I have gotten them in change there. This particular cat loves sorting through coins on his terms. When he was on the pile he messed up all the Wheats that were neatly sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahabully Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Broke down and joined in the copper mining: about 10 rolls to go in the $25 box. so far: 2000 wide am cent 1939 ef 1941 ef, plated chemistry experiment 1947d vg 1952d x2 ag and f 1954d f 1955d f 1978 canada cent About 20 nice red 60-90's to search for upgrades for the 1959-1998 book. It's fun to try to fill these memorial sets with red circulating cents, surprising how many earlier red memorial cents are still out there,,, filled the 59d spot from the last box I went through,,, was a nice red AU/EF. ~15%-20% coppers to toss in the bucket.
