Message:: [QUOTE="vwap, post: 288523, member: 10114"]Somewhat related, but not really -- I managed to buy five rolls of wheat cents tonight. 1 roll each of: 1930-351943 (steel)194519541958 From a rather unlikely source -- 7-Eleven. So I went out for a walk with my dogs, and stopped by 7-Eleven on our way home. I went to 7-Eleven for two reasons -- to buy a Spicy Bite, and to get a couple rolls of pennies. After I paid, got my change and a couple rolls of hand-rolled pennies, I noticed a wheat in the "take a penny, leave a penny" bin, and traded a penny I had in my change for it (noticed it was a '62). As I was leaving and untying the dogs, the gentleman behind me says: "Hey, I found a '56 -- want it?" I take it. As we're walking home, I wonder how much of a coincidence it is to have a couple '56 pennies in the same drawer, but think nothing of it -- chance! I get home and look at the rolls I just bought, and they're marked "Wt. St. 1954" and "Wt. St. 1958" (no idea what St. stands for). I get somewhat excited and head back down to 7-Eleven, where the guy has three remaining rolls, and I trade him a few rolls of 2007 BU pennies, and buy whatever was left in the register (mostly '53 pennies). Granted, no exciting errors, no rare or key dates, but hey, it was still fun. Not sure what I'm going to do with so many of the same dates, however.. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
