<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 101637, member: 4552"]I've been doing the $50 bag of penny thing for about 30 to 40 years now. I've found that the best thing to do is open a savings account with the minimum at several banks where you want to get the bags of pennies. I have one bank where I have an account where I take them all back after going through them. If you have an account at a bank you should never get refused any request or charge for getting or depositing the pennies. I never have. I've filled 10 Whitman Classic Albums almost all from that process. I just about completed 2 albums of Indian Cents and a pile of things like slugs, Canadian cents, counterfeit cents, etc. Also I've accumulated 6 boxes of error coins all in 2x2 holders. If you go through those pennies and also have a book called "Looking Through Lincoln's" you will find numerous coins that are errors that you would have never noticed before. There are 2 editions of that book out and they contain hundreds of photos of Lincoln errors. If you don't want to spend the money on that book you may want to check out their web site. It's coppercoins.com. One more thing is I look at the bank building. If it looks old or has been around for a long time there is a better chance of getting something good that has been in their vaults for a long time. I've actually found over the years that there is a better chance of finding good coins in a large city than in small towns. Appears in small towns the same money keeps circulating I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
