Box Of Cents And CWR Halves Coming From The US

[Backbacon]

How's it going folks as you can see from the title of this thread I have a box of US cents and some Halves coming up north soon. I was wondering if anyone might be able to share some of your knowledge and help me out with some key dates to look for? Any help would be great as I do not know very much about US coins.

Backbacon, I, as a US citizen, am fully against this of course. For the key-dates you get a rye-dale and be on the lookout for all the copper cents. You take the copper cents down to the Canadian Scrapyard. i says it once and I says it again, you'll be an outlaw, a wanted man in the US, and the next time you get your coins, you'll need to be careful.

save all wheats*
the above list*

Wanted man LOL... Hope you have good luck on your box of cents, and what you do with your coins is your buisness.. Hope you score a pile of copper..

 

[Diver_Down]

While you're at it can you score more halves and scrap the clad? Thanks.

Don't worry 50cent, I'm actually a dual citizen and have no intention of melting or scrapping anything. I'm just looking to expand my coin collection that's all. Besides look at my picture, LOL they probably have me on a wanted list anyway.
