<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WaMike75, post: 331767, member: 12303&quot;]I agree..&nbsp; I took a job at a local coin shop because of a better salary..&nbsp; Starting out I didnt really get what all these wierdos were so into.. But then as the new guy, I got stuck with sorting the pennies....&nbsp; Id say about 3 months or so of wheats just being thrown into canvas bags...&nbsp; After about 2 weeks of sorting, it turned into hunting. I would look forward to going in and looking through them.&nbsp; I found quite a few 09-S&#039;s. Tons of early teens and S mint marks. Even found a 14-D... But after my excitement and throwing it under a scope I realised that it was a poorly altered 44-D.&nbsp; My best find so far was in an old partial penny album that we had stacked in the back with about 8 more partial albums purchased from customers over the years. I was going through them all after I had conquered my bags and was searching for varieties. I opened the album and looked over the coins, turned the page and saw the 1955 P. I focused on it, thought my eyes were playin with me after looking at so many pennies that day, So I grabbed my 10 power and looked closer...&nbsp; It was..&nbsp; It was a 55 Double Die..&nbsp; And it was actually in the spot marked for that variety.. I dont know how someone missed it..&nbsp; Needless to say the boss was pretty happy..&nbsp; He sent it to NGC and it came back a XF..&nbsp;&nbsp; Since that day I much rather prefer hunting and searching than actually owning..&nbsp; I am however starting my own Penny Collection after 2 years of being in the hobby..<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
