Thrill of the Hunt.

I mostly do nickels but have been delving into halves. Last night I bought my first $25 box of cents. My son Tanner and I found 7 wheats, the earliest being 1920 p. I used to search rolls of pennies when I was 10 years old 35 years ago, and it was a thrill to find a wheat back then. It is still hard to believe you can find coins 90 years old in circulation. It is also a cheap hobby, a lot less expensive than a round of golf.

90% thrill. In teh back of my mind I know these piles of copper will be worth SOMETHING someday...I hope...but its teh wheaties, the IHs, the '43s. The George VI and V's. Thats the fun stuff.
