Southern Arkansas pennies

[1996]

Getting back in the army within the month, the recruiter tells me, so I decided to dump all of my copper

cents I have been pulling out of circulation and search for more wheaties. Not worth lugging all over the world while waiting on copper to go back up. I dumped them (all over the floor, in my shoes, in the AC vent) and went in search of a box of pennies. Couldn't find any halves on the way, but I got 24 dollars in pennies from a bank that I have had success at CRH in the past. Got a grand total of 1 wheater. I think it was a 1956 D or something. Oh well, I plan on getting a box Friday from my mom's bank. Maybe I can score a half dozen wheats, or better yet, another full box of 2008s. I sold my last one for 30 bucks. But that's how the wheats are doing for me down here in Ashley County. (i'm from LA, I'm use to living in a parish. F'n Ashley County. HA!)
alright,

Bought 5 ""Unsearched"" rolls of wheats on the old eBay the other day . Maybe I'll get lucky.

Got the unsearched rolls in today. I have looked at them several times in the past, checked the eBay guides to buying unsearched rolls, and only bought from 2 different people with 100% positive feedback. Here is what I cam up with. (I wouldn't add this to any running tally of stuff found by CRH on this forum)
roll 1: Looks rerolled. from the pictures, I was thinking one end was flat from sitting in storage somewhere, but I would say it definitely looks suspicious.
4 indians 1892
1893
1897
1899
48 wheats '10, '16, '19, '20, '23, '26, '29, '30S, '34, 3X'36, 3X'39
11X1940's with 4 S mints - 2x44S,46S,48S
21X1950's with 1 S mint - 1953S

rolls 2,3,4&5 I bought all from the same guy. He was the first one I bid on. Only won one roll that I bid on because some of them were getting up to 50 or 60 dollars, like if the roll had a vdb on the end or something. I won one that had 2 AU coins on it's ends for around 15.00. He told me he had more rolls he would sell me for 5.00 a piece, so I bought 3 of them.

roll2 50 wheats '24, '34, '35, 2X'36, '39, 21 from the 1940s, and 23 from the 1950s
roll3 51 wheats '10, '11, '19, 2X'20, 2X'27, 2X'29, 17 from the 1940s, & 25 form the 1950s
roll4 50 wheats '12, '14, 2X'19, '27, '28, '34, '35, '36, '39, 21 from the 1940s with 1 AU 44D, & 19 from the 1950s

roll5 the one with AU on the ends. '45S AU, 45D AU, 5 50D in nice shape, but no AUs, 4 '50P in nice shape but no AU, 1'55 AU, 4 '56D AU, 3 '57D w/ 2 AU, 1 '57 AU, 2 58D AU, and 27 1958 AU

I had to try it once though. Oh yeah, I think there was a 1911 DDO, and I can't tell the mint mark on this 1920. What do you think?

Did you go Infantry?

 

[phrostie]

Everyone knows Signal Corps is where it's at...shoot, instead of being in the hot all day you get to sit in an air conditioned vehicles all day!!!

Good luck with your military endeavors, from one serviceman to another. You know where you're going?

No idea, all though sitting in the AC doesn't appeal to me. I want to have fun. Thinking about volunteering for Afghanistan. Seems like a totally different experience than Iraq. hahahaha. I don't know man. Give me 3 hots and a cot, and a paycheck and that will be lite.

I haven't gone anything yet. I still haven't gotten all of the paper work to the recruiter. I hope it all goes okay. I don't have a driver's license, so it's just kind of hard getting anything done.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do though. I REALLY need a vacation right now, so I'm hoping to get stationed somewhere good. I'm a total newb to the whole regular army thing, so I'm not real sure how it works. I know it would be a hell of a lot easier if I had a driver's license and a car, and a phone, and a . . .

Not bad. I wouldn't complain with those IH's
