<p>[QUOTE=&quot;placement93, post: 1504596, member: 39525&quot;]A little over a year ago I started searching pennies just to hoard copper.&nbsp; I was working part time and home with my kids a lot, so I wanted to do something at least somewhat productive while I spent about an hour every day or so listening to Teaching Company lectures.&nbsp; Eventually, I started getting into coin collecting and now I can&#039;t get enough.&nbsp; I&#039;ve recently graduated to nickels.&nbsp; Here are some of my finds:</p><p><br /></p><p>1896 IH</p><p>1909 V.D.B.</p><p>1912</p><p>1917-D</p><p>5 - 1919</p><p>8 - 1920&#039;s</p><p>37 - 1930&#039;s</p><p>500+ - 1940&#039;s and 1950&#039;s</p><p><br /></p><p>Those in addition to more than $200 of copper pennies sorted by year and mint mark.&nbsp; I&#039;ve also found a couple of Canadian pennies from the 40&#039;s, some groovy world coins (Bermuda, Barbados, Aruba, and a few others).&nbsp; Only one war nickel so far, but I&#039;ve only gone through about $100 of nickels versus probably well more than $1000 of pennies.&nbsp; No 1938 nickels, but I&#039;ve found 5 1939 and dozens from the 40&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>And here is my question for all you good people.&nbsp; From looking at so many pennies, I&#039;ve found it very easy to distinguish small and large date cents, especially 1982.&nbsp; Especially since I have all the dates already sorted, is it worth my time to try to find small dates (I don&#039;t keep 1982&#039;s)?&nbsp; Is there any real demand for circulated small dates?&nbsp; Thanks so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
