Just 2 wheats this time, but they're a WOW!

Someone's apparently gambled a bunch of old Lincolns at the penny casino I frequent. Only found two out of $10 today but they're doozies - 1912 & 1919-S - and one more 1964 Canadian.

The 1912 is the oldest penny I've found at this casino since 2002 when a 1903 Indian found its way into my coin cup. It even tops the oldest of the massive search of 100,000 pennies I did in 1996, which was 1914.

Hopefully there are more surprises to come!

Wowzers. 100,000 pennies? You must have more patience than Buda.

Either that or a lot of free time on my hands!

Once I started though I really got into it, especially when the wheaties turned up on a regular basis. Don't think I could do it at that rate again.

I posted the results of that search on another thread a few weeks ago.

Another possibility is to stand on the strip with a sign where the Fun Bus's dump out the old ladies from Leisure (seisure) World and get the stashed rolls first hand.

This way your count may increase proportunately.
