Message:: [QUOTE="jackrabb1t, post: 1862313, member: 42482"]Just got done going through my first box of cents. The box was split approximately 76% Copper-Plated Zinc/24% Copper Alloy. 8 Canadian cents:<ul> <li>1965</li> <li>1973</li> <li>1974</li> <li>1977</li> <li>1984 x2</li> <li>1998</li> <li>1999 (red)</li> </ul> 12 Wheat cents:<ul> <li>39-P</li> <li>44-D</li> <li>45-P</li> <li>45-D</li> <li>46-D</li> <li>48-D</li> <li>50-D x2</li> <li>51-S</li> <li>52-D (some red)</li> <li>56-D (some red)</li> <li>58-D</li> </ul>These three beauties: <img src="http://www.isaacdagel.com/img/rollhunting/box1-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> And, the oldest coin I have ever found in circulation, a 1900 Indian Head cent in Fine condition: <img src="http://www.isaacdagel.com/img/rollhunting/box1-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> In addition, I found many nice upgrades for my Lincoln Cent Circulation set, and I'm only missing two coins for a complete Lincoln Memorial date/mintmark set: 1959-P and 1968-S. But it's finding something like the 1900 Indian Head that keeps me opening roll after roll. This is the joy of numismatics, in my opinion. Sure, I could buy hundreds of those coins on eBay, and in it's present condition it's value is less than $5, but the fact that I found it means it will always have a special place in my collection.[/QUOTE]
