<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2421454, member: 36864&quot;]I&#039;m redoing my currently pink bathroom floor with a mosaic of wheat cents. My first task it to find thousands of clean (free of gunk or verdigris) cents. This is proving to be pretty time consuming already. I purchased 30,000 wheat cents from my LCS for 1.7 cents each and am keeping about 40% of them so far. I have a feeling that this may take a while to complete. Anyone have a spare loupe and want to help me search a pile of dirty coins?&nbsp; The good news is that these seem to actually be a collection of truly unsearcherd coins that have sat around for decades. Though I haven&#039;t found much to call amazing quite yet, I have found two VDBs and a few poor mans 55s (which are not errors, simply worn dies). I did find what I thought to be a well worn 14-D, but it turned out to be a 17-D after a little closer look. With about 29,000 more to go, maybe I&#039;ll find something fun.

Not quite decided on the pattern quite yet, there are plenty out there if you Google &quot;penny floor&quot;. Sadly there are virtually no results if you search for &quot;cent floor&quot;.

There is plenty of beer left too. [ATTACH=full]501828[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And for the record, I am sparing any coin that I would consider to be collectable. All of the red cents and almost everything pre 1945 will get put back into circulation to help us land a few more collectors and to get the roll hunters excited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
