Recent search of 5000 pennies

I (we) just finished searching through a 100 rolls of pennies while manning our annual garage sale. Nice way to kill time between customers. Anyway, here is a list of the coins that I thought worth saving.

And 5 coins '75, '59D, '59, '60D, '61 that looked as if they just came from the mint. Great condition and will replace coins that are already holding a spot in one of my coin books. It was fun and I made 300 bucks selling the garbage from my basement. A good weekend all in all.

Nice. I'll probobly end up doing the same this week, minus the garage sale Can we get a picture of the 46? I'd love to see it

 

moen 1305,
When you search, do you re-roll? Or just put in bag and let your bank send them out for counting and then credit your account? I just looked through 100 rolls (with little success) and I re-rolled them all, I just about quit after the first box due to the rerolling part.
Just asking.

There are banks now that offer free coin machines. (Unlike the 8% fee at coinstars in the grocery store). You don't even have to have an account. One chain near me that offers this service is Commerce Bank. To see if a branch is near you check out this LINK

This bank even has a state quarter/nickel series program for its members. They send you a post card and give you first dibs on the rolls when they come in. Just found this all out yesterday, so I'm looking into opening an account there.

 

You sounded like a salesman there

5000 pennies!!! you got some time on ur hands that I wish I had

 

I don't understand why anyone would re-roll the pennies. All my banks have counting machines and they don't want rolled coins because they want to know how many coins they are getting. If I had to re-roll them, I'm sure that I'd never do another search.

 

Yes I can post a picture but why the '46?

 

I guess we are behind the times here, no counting machines. I just found out that I can turn them in by the bag and they will send them out for me and then deposit the money when the count is in. I think I will try this next time.

Well, retirement will do that for you.

 

My banks actually give me the cloth bags and I don't have to turn them back in if I don't want to. What I would do with them all I don't know.

 

thanks, I will have to ask about them.

Here is the 1946. Nice toning, no evidence of cleaning but still like new. These coins always make me wonder where they've been all these years

 

That IS in very nice condition I just love to see anything shiny and more than 55 years old I have a few 50's in like-new condition, and one with blood red toning which I got from rolls at work.
