<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3662458, member: 93422"]WOW! Pretty cool! So this explains why someone in the past decided to put it in a protector. To me thats cool. Whoever it was knew something about coins. this "lot" came from a box that was under a bunch of junk in a farmhouse south of Tampa. In this particular box, the most recent penny I have found so far is dated 1969. There was also a bunch of "books". There is 18 total. Theres 2 versions 1909 to 1940 and version two apparently is 1941 into the 60s. They are mostly filled. At first glance , most of them are really circulated. What I found in the few that I looked at is if I pop them out of their little spot, the backsides look in much better condition for some reason. I am going to make time to look through them this weekend. I already found a forgery in one..its a 1914 thats really a 1941. Best part about this particular fat box of coins....I got it for free! It was given in exchange to a friend for some tree work. He gave them to me because he has no interest in the hobby. anyway, another cool thing about these books is it shows the mintage for each coin variety. Kind of cool to see the vast difference between a few coins that had a million or less and others that were like 1,500 million.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]984821[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
