<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1056290, member: 19855&quot;]Well, I&#039;m back in my home state to do my last clinical rotation in a local hospital. I&#039;m currently staying at my parents&#039; home. Now, since I&#039;m on a three week Christmas break I&#039;m spending time at home, viewing the likes of Judge Mathis and the Price is Right. Then, I saw it.&nbsp; There, in the corner of the dining room is a 5 gallon blue water jug (the sort you see in corporate offices). This jug is half filled with cents. 2.5 gallons of cents! Evidently my parents have been dumping their cents into the jug for the last three years I&#039;ve been away to graduate school. So, a thought scurried across my mind today, &quot;I wonder what the population and grade variance is within that jug?&quot; I remember becoming interested in coins by shifting through rolls upon rolls of cents on weekends with Grandpa. Eventually, I became sick of the things and switched to dimes. However, I am mildly tempted to dump that jug and start to sort them, count them, tabulate into a table, smell my hands of copper/zinc. I know it&#039;ll take several days and there is a risk of that, &quot;God, I hope I never touch a cent again!&quot; thought but I&#039;m still tempted. So, I know this answer will be biased since I&#039;m posting it on a coin forum, but what are your thoughts? Dig in or let the multitude of Lincolns lie in that jug?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
