For $20.00 you could get nearly a box of pennies ($25.00), and out of the 2,000 pennies you're bound to find wheats, uncirculated specimens, and maybe even some errors. Consider talking to your mom and see if she'd be willing to pick you up a box or two every couple weeks (advice her it won't be costly, since you buy $25 in pennies, take probably 10 coins out, and redeposit the $24.90. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know you cannot use ebay but here's a link to an auction with the Red Book; it's pretty much the best source for errors/pricings for beginners:</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F2011-Red-Book-United-States-Coins-Softcover-Redbook-%2F380304781378%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0%26hash%3Ditem588bee7042" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F2011-Red-Book-United-States-Coins-Softcover-Redbook-%2F380304781378%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_0%26hash%3Ditem588bee7042" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/2011-Red-Book-United-States-Coins-Softcover-Redbook-/380304781378?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588bee7042</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edit:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>Woops just saw you suggested that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>JD my advice would be to buy more than two rolls, but only if your funds permit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
