<p>[QUOTE="Clutchy, post: 1840362, member: 45040"]I would like to thank you all for your help this past year. It was a up and down learning experience if I was to describe it in one statement, but overall I enjoyed it. The worst part of it was I had to dump my silver and copper hoard because of financial situations that came up. Took a 33% hit on over 4lbs of silver and it got so bad I had to feed the coin machine over 140 lbs of copper. On top of that I mixed up the searched and unsearched buckets and dumped 30 lbs of unsearched copper. That bothered me more than anything. The way I look at it, Im glad I had all that silver to upload rather than spending it on other stuff that I couldn’t get rid of. It really helped me. FOR THOSE WHO I HAD PENDING SALES WITH, I APOLOGIZE. I didn’t realize my situation was going to be as long as it is. I kept thinking next week will be better, which never happened. Soooo…. On to stuff that made me happy. I purchased some nice coins, nothing too great. But for me the fun was in the searching of cents. Here are my finds</p><p>Approx. 500 wheat cents including a AU+ 1939d, VF 1927s, 3 – 1910 and a red 1940p that looks like it just recently was put into circulation, I would say XF+ on condition. </p><p>Doubled Die Coins:</p><p>1968d 1do-002</p><p>1971p 1do -001 (XF IMO)</p><p>1971p 1do-003</p><p>2 – 1972p 1do-003</p><p>1973d 1do-001</p><p>1974d 1do-003</p><p>1982p 1do-003</p><p>2003p 1do-005</p><p>RPMs</p><p>I purchased a OBW 1957d roll from a gentlemen in here, and it contained 5 – 1957d 1mm-031</p><p>1959d 1mm-004</p><p>1959d 1mm-035</p><p>1959d 1mm-048</p><p>1960d 1mm-033</p><p>From the same gentlemen, I purchased a OBW 1960d roll, and it contained 1 – 1960d 1mm-104.
