Message:: [QUOTE="BostonMike, post: 186968, member: 7251"]I decided to do $20 in cents today. I'd look specifically for wheats and other odd coins, as well as separate and hoard the copper cents 1959-1982 Out of $20, $4.86 was copper cents....for almost a 1-4 ratio. I put what i could in rolls and squirreled it away. I found 5 modern candian cents as well as a 1958 and 1963 Canadian cent which i will keep. On to the wheat cents. 2- 19261940-S1940194219441944-D1944-S19451945-D1946194719481950-S1951-D2- 1953-D19532- 1956   (one is plated)1957-D1958     (one is RD)1958-D Not a bad take. Pretty much could have taken care of the 1940's if i was filling an album. This lot, plus previous finds gives me pretty much every year and mint wheat cent from 1940-1958 give or take a S mint here and there.   I REALLY need 1910-1939 wheats.  I already have a 1909 (which was not found in a roll but one my grandfather collected a long time ago), those two 1926's and a 1935. Other than that i can't find anything from the teens or 20's and 30's in rolls. Two of the best was the 1958 which was a bright copper color almost like new. Another curious find was a 1956 cent that was plated with something to give it a silver tone. On the obverse is a goo of some sort that i wish i could take off. Unsure if it's PVC as it looks like a melted plastic. Another curious find was a 2005 cent with a "+3.50" sticker on it. I'll post some pics in a few[/QUOTE]
