Any good dates on the Wheats??

Good wheaties. How many penny rolls have you searched this time?
Check that 2006 Canadian with the magnet.

nice batch, keep plugging away, you'll score a key date soon enough, it's a fun hobby, I personally love searching cents, was thinking about buying 2 boxes myself for a rainy day. I have thought about saving copper, but never did.

I was sorting all copper out, but when filled a full box, stopped. Now I only hunt for old stuff, Wheat pennies, errors (die shift, die rotation, clipped planchet, blank planchet) and foreign. It is possible to find a key date coin, but it usually takes a couple of boxes, before you find one in a good shape.

It looks like it is zinc based on the corrosion.

what is the story of the 2006 canada penny? My canada coin book says it is worth $200 if it is steal and good condition. Why would canada make zinc pennies after they changed to steal?

Long story behind the production of 2006 penny. It is only known that 233,000 magnetic no P coins gone in circulation. Check with a magnet to determine. It is most likely non-magnetic. I only found one so far. Visit my post to see how it looks like: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coin-roll-hunting/295060-holy-grail-canadian-cent-pics.html
