3 boxes (1/6/11) _*~PICTURES_*~ Some possible errors! Including 101 yr old coin!

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all, I did 2 boxes of pennies last night as well as a box of nickels and are posting results today.
The take...
Pennies: 18 foreign- 17 canada, 1 bahamas. The canadian older coins are: 2 King George(1945 and 1946) (I usually average 1 per 5-10 boxes)

US: 36 wheats(average)--oldest 1911!!! (Amazing how old the coins you could find--- this is really gunky almost like it was dug up, but 1911 no doubt. Not clear on the mintmark.

This beats my oldest penny found on 12/28/11 (1912 wheat)...

Nickels- 41 pre 1940, a chinese coin(or other asian country, pardon my ignorance)... no silver, no buffalos.
Also a grease filled die nickel and a possible off center nickel.


**The grease filled nickel is on both sides. **

more boxes to search tonight. HH!

Nice find on that 1911! I was hoping to see a D mintmark when i went down to the reverse pic of that 1950, still a nice find.

unfourtinately no D on the 1950p nickel... still a semi-key, I only found 3 in the past 3-4 years searching nickels...

Thanks!

Nice finds! Your Asian coin is a Tiawan 5 Yuan coin but the year I do not know. Happy hunting! Garbageman
