I would like to thank you all for your help this past year. It was a up and down learning experience if I was to describe it in one statement, but overall I enjoyed it. The worst part of it was I had to dump my silver and copper hoard because of financial situations that came up. Took a 33% hit on over 4lbs of silver and it got so bad I had to feed the coin machine over 140 lbs of copper. On top of that I mixed up the searched and unsearched buckets and dumped 30 lbs of unsearched copper. That bothered me more than anything. The way I look at it, Im glad I had all that silver to upload rather than spending it on other stuff that I couldn’t get rid of. It really helped me. FOR THOSE WHO I HAD PENDING SALES WITH, I APOLOGIZE. I didn’t realize my situation was going to be as long as it is. I kept thinking next week will be better, which never happened. Soooo…. On to stuff that made me happy. I purchased some nice coins, nothing too great. But for me the fun was in the searching of cents. Here are my finds Approx. 500 wheat cents including a AU+ 1939d, VF 1927s, 3 – 1910 and a red 1940p that looks like it just recently was put into circulation, I would say XF+ on condition. Doubled Die Coins: 1968d 1do-002 1971p 1do -001 (XF IMO) 1971p 1do-003 2 – 1972p 1do-003 1973d 1do-001 1974d 1do-003 1982p 1do-003 2003p 1do-005 RPMs I purchased a OBW 1957d roll from a gentlemen in here, and it contained 5 – 1957d 1mm-031 1959d 1mm-004 1959d 1mm-035 1959d 1mm-048 1960d 1mm-033 From the same gentlemen, I purchased a OBW 1960d roll, and it contained 1 – 1960d 1mm-104. This reminds me, I didn’t search the whole roll yet. 1961d 1mm-072 1963d 1mm-002 1964d 1mm-013 1971d 1mm-009 1972d 1mm-003 1982d 1mm-005 1982d 1mm-007 I have approx. 1600 wheats I haven’t searched yet. Been really just concentrating on the memorials for errors/varieties because once searched, they turn into coin machine food. Others 1988p with a nice die clash, a zinc planchet, 5 rolls of Canadian cents, 1940 being the oldest, a handful of world coins I find in the coin machine including a 1917 1/12 anna british india coin. 6 – 2000WAMs 6 – 1998WAMs Thank you all again for being part of this and helping me along the way.

Oh. How can I forger to mention my most EMBARRASSING MOMENT. I thought I discovered a 1957d D&D. I showed the coin on two forums and Bob @ Coppercoins contacted me about sending it to him. I was packaging it up to send to him when I decided to blow on the BU coin.......and the second D disappeared.......IT WAS A HAIR!! I was so embarrassed that I went into hiding for a few weeks lol
Wow you must have had shell shock after that one for a while !! Glad you enjoyed your first year here is to many more to come !!
I was a bit crazy after that one. I thought maybe I misplaced it. Searched every corner ofmy place hoping to find it. Then iI researched the roll a few times. I was sick to my stomach lol
That's too funny. Thank you for sharing. It takes a lot of fortitude to post something like this on a message board and I commend you for it. Good luck in your second year of collecting.
