It's just not any fun anymore...
Ok, earlier today I find 3 rolls of full 40% silver halves, 2 of which are marked rolls indicating it. (here's the pic)
Then this evening my girlfriend isn't feeling too good, so we go out to the grocery store to pick up food to make grilled cheese with tomato soup (yeah cuz I'm the bombest.comest boyfriend in the world). So the store has a bank branch in it open until 7 so I feel like getting on the board in '08 with some Wheats and grab $10 in pennies. Half are handwrapped half are machine-wrapped. I didn't really look at them, just put them in my coat pockets. So I get home and check them out. The machine rolls are very dingy looking and the handrolls look pretty old. So then I see one of the handrolls with 'CPV 34-39P' written on it. Come on now...it can't be, can it? So I open the one end and there is a 1936 Wheat there. Sheesh. This is getting to be like shooting fish in a bucket. You wanna know the worst part about it? There were 52 Wheats between 1934 and 1939 in that roll! Ridiculous. Is this supposed to be fun? I mean now I'm getting Wheats for free!
Ok but for real, I think someone just deposited all these pennies but 4 of the bankwrapped rolls were all 1995 and brand new. None of the other rolls had anything newer than 1994. Most of them were copper Memorials. I saved 3 of them after realizing what they were. Aside from the roll with 52 wheats in it the rest only had 5 Wheats in it and 3 Canadians, 1971, 72 and 76.
Hey I accomplished my goal...I found some Wheats!
Hopefully you can see the writing on the roll there in the pic
