Those are some nice finds. I recently got a 1955-D BU Red too.. It looks just like one of those 2010-D shield pennies that we get so many of.

exactally, except a little deeper struck

Why so many Canadians? Do you live close to the border?

 

[FingerGrime]

I love finding old uncirculated coins. It is so exciting!
I have found two bu wheats in the wild.

Awesome. Makes me want to do pennys more.

I do not live near the border, more about 1,000 miles south(don't know the measurement for sure), just a rough guess.

Those are some nice numbers. I also get a lot of canadian coins but I am close to the border. I can be in Canada in little over a hour and a half....Matt

Never driven to Canada, but from what I hear from people in my area that do, 10-12 hour drive
