ah I love searching pennies very rewarding I feel like I am in the process of putting together a complete set just sold a set of my ASE proofs on eBay once PayPal clears the payment am looking to complete the set minus the 09 s vdb. what all you save and keep? I keep all copper, au stuff, 2009's, wheat, Canadian, and s mint stuff cause I live in east tn don't see a whole whole lot of s mint pennies

I keep everything you said, other than AU cents. I also have a 1941-1974 cent book, so I look for the best example for each date and mint in the book. I only have 1 empty hole, a 1973-S cent.

It says in the description, Maryland.

200 pennies the keepers were 46 copper, 10 AU, 1 wheat common date

 

[Canadian hunter]

Only 46? That is relatively low percentage. I heard people are getting somewhere about 30-35% Cu in their findings. In Canada it's about 70-75%, but I only keep early coppers. Were 10 AU Zn or Cu?

I save anything 1958 and before. Also proofs, counterpunched pennies and anything else that strikes my fancy!

Being in AL, I actually think I have about 2 or 3 of those... If I knew where my little book was.
