Penny dream box? you decide, with pics.

[Tattooguy67]

I don't know what the exact definition of "Dream Box" is but this has got to be close. I picked up a box of pennies last Thursday and started going through it that afternoon and started to find these really great new looking pennies right off the bat, and as I got in to the box more I realised that they were all 1961, 1961D, and 1963, was getting some in almost all the rolls, sometimes 2-3 in each roll, I took a roll to the coin shop and the owner said they looked to be between AU/BU!, they are sharp! sadly my pics do not do them justice but hopefully it will give you an idea, has any one run into anything like this before? any ideas as to the how and why of it let me know your thoughts, also went back yesterday to get another box, telling myself the whole time that it was a fluke etc, well after going through about 20 or so rolls I have found 26 more of the same! the only thing I can figure is someone was hoarding these and for some reason dumped them at face, again your thoughts please and thanks for reading, HH!

I would call them AU. Maybe top value would be 10 cents.

Since you have enough, I would roll a few up and try to sell them on ebay as Uncirculated. Who knows, you might sell a few.

Hi was this directed at me AG? if so what do you think I could get per roll? I doubt I would ever sell them any way, the mystery behind them is what I like, I did end up giving out 4 of them though, gave one to each of the tellers who lug those heavy boxes out of the vault for me! and as an update to the original post, finished the second box and ended up with 215 plus the one Canadian 1963 that was in identical shape so it must have come from the same place right? or well maybe not but it's fun to speculate about to me. And didn't you say you had found 26 of the same year, the 1961D right? have you found any more since then? let me know will ya, I love a good mystery! HH

Chuck, I was just offering my 2 cents worth before your thread go sidelined. If you sold them I assume you could get 5-10x face for each one. I am hanging on the ones I found because you dont find them in this shape very often. Yes, I found approximately 25 or so of them in one box, but havent seen one since. The first few really supprised me after that I figured maybe I could get enough for a full roll. Being we have over 1000 miles seperating us it would be interesting to find out where these came from and how they got distributed.
