Message:: [QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 7970764, member: 41219"]A little over 9 years ago to the day, I started searching boxes of cents. Before that, I had started with a couple rolls here and there for a few months in the search for wheat cents. In late October 2012, my regular teller asked me if I "just wanted a box of pennies so I didn't have to come back so often to get my couple rolls here and there.". I said "Yes of course!" and an official addict was born. On my first box, I wrote down how many wheats, coppers, and Canadians I found. Strangely, I didn't write down the date. By box 2, I started writing down each year of the wheats and Canadian (Still no date searched) and by box 3 (on the other side of the page) I wrote down the date searched (November 12th for box 3), number and date of all wheats and Canadians and, eventually when I found some, types of errors/varieties/other interesting things. I have searched probably close to 50 $50 bags of cents from the machines as well as random rolls and stuff but today marks the completion of my official 800th box of cents and my official 2 millionth cent hunted. I joined CT a few months after I started and have learned so much, hopefully have taught a few things, and made some really great friends. My son, who was barely walking and talking when I started, has joined me in the hobby and has grown a keen interest in foreign and ancient coins in addition to "slumming it with dad" doing CRH. I've had 2 other children be born in this time and have another on the way. My 5 year old loves to sit with her dad and brother and search half dollar rolls and my 2 year old loves to pull rolls out of the box to hand to the 3 of us. CRH and numismatics in general has become a family affair. Here is the record of my first cent box ever searched and my 800th box searched as well as my 1,000,000th and 2,000,000th cent CRH.[ATTACH=full]1382637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1382636[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
