so i found this thread and thought heck why not so i went to my bank and got 4 rolls of penny's (starting small) and as i am going through them i have no clue what i am looking for lol (i'm new here and 2 coins) so i dont know what to look for as penny's. i did find a 1944 wheat penny and got all pumped up. if you know what i should look for in a roll of penny's due tell via email.( no need to clutter up this cool thread )
thanks in advance

 

Welcome to the sport. Keep any P's from 1981 and earlier - 95% Copper...

 

I dropped by the 'rents because I was in the neighborhood, and my mom said she's never seen me so excited since I was a little kid. As soon as I realized what I had (Checking the ends on the way to my car) I think I probably had the biggest grin ever. Dropped 'em in my car, was getting loose with the language (I curse like a sailor outside of the internet) and generally really excited.

 

I'm stunned...

 

don't we all?? nice find!!!

 

Not really roll searching, but I looked at every coin today. Got a couple of wheat cents, and what looks like a possible off center strike on a 92 P Quarter, and just copper cents to add to the jar. Not too bad of a day haha, but not spectacular.

 

Only searched a couple rolls of quarters today. Found a 2005 Panama "quarter". I think the US mint must still make Panama's coins because it was clad like ours and exactly the same size.

 

WOW! Merc, CONGRATS! I'm happy for ya.

 

Well, this is your call. I started saving these, but when I got to $125 invested in copper cents, it seemed like a lot, so I stopped saving them. So if you're ebaying them, go right ahead. But if not, I'd say put the money back into roll-searching.
Save wheat cents, 1992 CAMs, 1998, 99, 00 WAMs. Proofs, if you're ever lucky enough to find one. I also pull all BU (or very close to BU) Memorials in order to fill up my album. If they don't fill a space, I toss 'em back.

 

I generally save any cent that would grade 65 RD or better and that is 10 or more years old. It's becoming a nice collection considering....

 

If you're going to start searching cent rolls, here's a resource you may be interested in (it's free!) - http://www.dvnmagazine.com/

Merc & Erin,

Just read about your finds to start off the weekend. I'm sooo jealous, not hating but jealous! You guys have been at it for a while I'm just hoping there are still some WL's and Frankies out there for this guy.
