    I am excited to go through this $30 in us pennies

    The bank teller told me three keywords collectors love to hear when buying in bulk
    ...grandparents....saving....years

    :)
    The entire discussion with the teller was:
    These all just came in today
    Are they all from one source?
    Yes
    Hopefully they are not from a collector
    Oh goodness no, these came from a couple who have been saving these over the years and their grandkids have been slowly rolling them up...
    Put a smile on my face
    Wish me luck!!!

    1533 Copper Pennies <=1982
    8 Wheat Pennies including a great condition, well toned 1946-S (Nice)
    And more importantly 6 Dimes :)

    Not too bad and not the greatest roll search :)

    Good luck! Go easy on your eyes. Take breaks, stand up and stretch now and then, use magnification if you need to and good lighting too.

    I see you changed your Avatar again! Is that you're own pic in the portrait now?

    I actually found a roll of Indians once but every coin was AG. Not worth much but it was really fun.

    That's awesome. Dealers around here will pay $30 for a roll, sight unseen.

    Dimes! Why can't I ever find any dimes. You are the second poster today to speak of dimes in the penny rolls. Very nice. Congratulations.

    You will find them, when a lazy roller just "Fills" their cointainers with anything that will fit.
    Most times people don't even count their rolls I have found some have 55+ and some are about 48 coins. So you win some you loose some

    So here is the final total's:

    58 Wheat pennies all common
    2301 CU pennies
    8 Canadian Cents Mixed dates 1963-2007

    And!!!!! The coin I will treasure for all of time
    Nothing!


    So this concludes this month's $80 search

    Ouch!
    Makes me think of the old $100 trick people use to do:

    Rip a $100 into a P shape this way each half has an equally "larger" look to it & each side has a serial.
    Take one half to one bank and exchange it for a new $100, and take the other half to another bank and exchange it out.

    Banks have since caught onto this (from many years ago) and decided they will not accept a bill unless both serial numbers are visible.
