Ooh a 2005S - thats pretty cool! Ah - here's one that'll be interesting - a 1999S. Will that be hard to find because no one is breaking the...
Yes, that is probably my best pull from a roll. I was more excited about that than anything I've found before! After I found that, I realized...

As a small child sitting with my grandpa - counting, and rolling the coins from his change jar, then collecting my "fee" of 50% of what I rolled....
