<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dug13, post: 3172660, member: 77843&quot;]I’m not much of a roll searcher, but I do pick up a box of halves 1 or 2 times a year. After reading an article on penny searching, I got an itch to try it.</p><p>I stopped by my bank and asked if I could buy a bag of pennies from the coin counting machine. I figured my chances would be better straight from the machine rather than a box of rolls from one of their suppliers. The teller said that she had worked here for 14 years, I was the first person ever to ask for that many pennies. She exclaimed “That’s 5000 pennies!!” I said, no problem. She said I would have to wait, they just filled a bag the day before and prepared it for shipment. She said it takes 2-3 days to fill a bag.</p><p>My search goals were: wheat’s, 95% copper’s, DDO’s, DDR’s, CAM’s, WAM’s, and 1983’s.</p><p>After searching each coin by date /mm, here’s what I pulled out:</p><p>Wheat cent’s - 22, (1918 to 1956).</p><p>95%er’s - 1265.</p><p>Possible DDO’s/DDR’s/CAM’s/WAM’s - 306 (after close inspection, none found)</p><p>1983’s - 27 (all weighed in as zinc)</p><p>It was a good rainy day project, if I do it again, I probably wait until winter, when foul weather sets in.</p><p>Happy Hunting to All,</p><p>Dug13[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
