<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ratovarius, post: 2896459, member: 90774&quot;]As I said in a different thread, my coin collecting adventure started with a big water jug with a load of pennies in it that had been accumulating over the course of a couple of years..&nbsp; This saturday will make it 3 weeks that I&#039;ve been scouring through this bunch of pennies..</p><p><br /></p><p>After all was said and done I had seperated all the pennies into plastic containers.&nbsp; Each container weighed roughly 4 pounds and I ended up with 9 of them, which works out to 18,143 grams, divided by 2.7g per penny.(Mix of copper and zinc, but weighed towards a greater volume of zinc pennies.)&nbsp; None of this is exact, of course, but after doing all the &#039;fuzzy&#039; math, I&#039;ve looked through roughly 67 dollars worth of pennies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve probably missed some good finds here and there due to my inexperience and lack of knowledge..&nbsp; But in the end I neded up with 2 pennies that I know for certain have worth beyond face value: a 1998 wide AM and a 1982 with the reverse rotated ~30 degrees to the right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also ended up with like 15 more that I just thought looked neat/interesting.&nbsp; I also ended up with 8 Canadian pennies, 1 Canadian nickel, and 1 Canadian quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>After three weeks of looking through American pennies I can most assuredly say that I&#039;m hooked.&nbsp; It&#039;s been a little frustrating, a lot relaxing, but overall I&#039;ve had fun and I&#039;m glad I decided to take up this hobby.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
