    Looks to be in nice shape, too! I hope the obverse is as good!

    That Canadian cent stood out at me and I thought you had a box of foreign coins. Oh wait, there's more copper in Canadian pennies than US ones, at least since 1982. Nice purchase. Have fun with those rolls. :smug:

    Had another really long day at work yesterday, so I didn't even bother to go through the box until today:

    A neat 119 year old find, joins it's other 30 or so IHC compatriots in my finds book.

    The contents of the box produced:

    1 1896 IHC
    1 1934
    14 other 40s and 50s wheats
    1 '69-S

    Then the box of nickels produced:

    1 1936 Buffer
    1 1941 in BU
    2 '40-S
    9 40s dates
    1 '43-S silver

    The fun of the find was magnified yesterday when I went and took a box of candy to the teller at the bank I got the boxes from, they know they get goodies if I find anything 100 years or older - the teller was absolutely giddy with the box of candy and was dancing around the work area showing off her prize. She is a bit of a collector herself so she is always on the prowl for good stuff.
