<p>[QUOTE="marhjan, post: 50388, member: 3028"]Hey all, I'm new to this forum, and have been searching penny and nickel rolls a few at a time just to see what I can get. A local bank in the area just installed auto counting machines for *no-charge* so no more need to roll. Anyway, I ordered $100.00 in pennies today, and have mainly just been looking for 'wheaties' so far, but I was wondering which 'Memorial' pennies might be worthwhile to pull. At first glance it seems like the 1968-74 S mints would be a good choice, along with some of the doubled dies etc (tho I'm not sure I'd recognize one of those if I got it) Just looking for some advice from others who might have more experience/advice than I have. Thanks in advance, seems like a cool place, later-</p><p><br /></p><p> -marhjan</p><p><br /></p><p>ps- i seem to average about 9 'wheaties' per 1000 coins so far-- is that about average?? any chance of Indian heads or gasp, Flying Eagles??? or would that require searching a much larger number of coins. Like I said, i'm just getting started with this, used to do it when i was a kid, and pulled a 1936 Buffalo nickel out of a roll and went nuts-- lol it's worth about .50, but got me excited again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
