<p>[QUOTE="silvercowboy72, post: 1107917, member: 28647"]I work for a bank here in Baltimore. When we are slow, I will walk behind the teller line and chit chat with the tellers and see if any coins of interest were deposited. Today I found a small hoard of Steel Wheaties. A customer brought in 26 1943 Steel cents. I have seen these before at shows and coin shops, but do have have any in my collection. I wound up splitting them up with two tellers. Each of the tellers took five, and I took 16. The same customer also deposited seven wheaties. I came home today with 16 steel, and seven copper wheaties. I was pretty excited/happy with my find. My primary interest is in collecting Morgans, bit I do not always have the $$$ to add to my collection. I have recently started to fill albums with Lincoln cents out of my change and what I come across in the bank. I am having fun in doing this. I am a history buff as well, and thought it was really cool that these coins I brought home today were probably in the pockets of GI's during WWII. Anyways, I thought I would share my find today with the group.</p><p> </p><p>1932 D</p><p>1934</p><p>1941 (2)</p><p>1943 (16)</p><p>1944</p><p>1945 (2)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
