Message:: [QUOTE="ShellionessLove1, post: 3026362, member: 92591"]I bought a $25 box of pennies from BofA. I was hesitant due To the odds of me receiving a box that were all new coins or at least more than half new coins so I asked the teller if there was anyway they knew whether or not the boxes that they had were new or old, if there was a way to tell at all and she said no because they’re sealed and can’t open them up so they don’t know what they get.  Definitely not the words that I wanted to hear so I told her I was just gonna take my chances because I felt LUCKY and I would go ahead and get a box. She brings it out I go out to my car I couldn’t wait to open the box so I took my car key and opened the seal. I pulled out one roll and looked to find there were two old coins on each side and then I grab another roll same thing another roll same thing this whole entire box of coins are old coins mixed with a few of the newer ones I was going through one of the rolls today and found this dirty penny and I could barely tell what the numbers are for the date. So with my fingers I just gently rubbed some coconut oil and water to remove a little bit of grime over the last two numbers. I do believe I have a 1943 copper(not picking up with a magnet) penny. I can’t see the mint mark but I do believe this is a definite. Please let me know your thoughts. I apologize for the pics the coin is not in best condition but OMG!!!![/QUOTE]
