5-6-06 Box of Pennies...and a near screw up

[Kiros32]

So I finally got my automatic coin roller in the mail so I decided to roll the leftovers from the box of nickels I searched through last week. As I was putting handfuls of coins in the roller, I spotted an older looking nickel and turned it over. It was a 1939 that I had missed. It makes me think that I have may have missed others. So lesson learned, search carefully! It is turned out to be the oldest one in the box and my oldest nickel so far. Yeah that's rightm unfortunately I am Bullafo-less so far.

Today's box of pennies was my best so far. I scored 17 wheats and one 1952 Canadian. Here's the rundown:

1941 - 2
1944
1945D
1951 - 2
1952D
1953D
1955
1956
1956D - 2
1957
1957D
1958
1958D

I know what you're going thru Kiros. I haven't found a buffalo yet this year either. I've found at least one every year since 1996 and we're quickly approaching the halfway mark. Hang in there! Good going on the wheaties and that 1952 Canadian. I consider the King George pennies the wheaties of Canada.

I gave the penny casino another shot today and the results were great. From $10 -

Wheaties: 1945, 1946-S, 1950-D, 1952-S, 1953-D, 1957-D

Canadian: 1962, two more shiny 1964s, 1982, 1998

HAHA, I am not sure what a Bullafo is, but it was funny reading back through my post.

I haven't found one of those yet either!
