Got $10 in cents and $10 in buckles. Being lazy and in a rush. Pulled 3 Wheats and 47 Canadian. 2 40s nickels. I seem to get older Canadians then I do Wheats..... Go figure
Good job homeslice, welcome to the world of cents. I like the NZ coin, I doubt many members can make the claim of finding one. Also, I'd like to thank you very much, for being 100% correct in your usage of the term 'cent', alot of new cent hunters, unfortunately use the p-word (penny), to describe cent. Even an experienced pro like myself, sometimes slips and uses the word penny, yet, you just started and not one mistake yet. Something to pride yourself on. Keep up the good work.
Speaking of cents, I got 5 boxes I need to go through.
Is my keeper rate (10 out of 2500) fairly typical for cents? My son and I have only done hand rolled nickels before this and the keeper rate for 1959 and older nickels seems to be higher. My son has found 2 silver nickels so far.
It's taken out of circulation by the government (like the Canadian cent, but not melted down). I have just a few, which means they are not that easy to find.
