$50 in penny roll results

[diggyboy]

I received 2 boxes of pennies from my aunt as a birthday gift last weekend that turned out to be all brand new pennies, so I went to the bank today to exchange them for 2 older boxes. I opened up the first box of pennies and had high expectations because the rolls looked old. Sadly, I was wrong. I think whoever turned them in was also a collector because the box had no coins older than 1959, and many pennies looked dug. I guess they weren't that great at collecting because the box still had copper and Canadians! But the second box had some pretty good finds. I got 10 wheats, mostly 50s and 40s, 3 older Canadians, 1951,1957,1959, and 82 Canadians total including 4 1967 centennials. I also found a 1959d that has a really cool rainbow patena to it that is hard to see from the pics. But my best find of the box was a 1920 s penny, my oldest CRH find to date! Thanks for looking and HH!

With the newer pennies, you should at least spot check them for errors.

Nice finds..i come across alot of Canadian coins is it worth it to save them? And why?

 

[diggyboy]

I always save them because Canadian pennies were only made until 2011 and were discontinued due to a lack of copper. Even though they are still in circulation, I keep them because some day they might be worth something.

Pretty cool finds, I see some people find some really good silver in coin roll hunting.
I've thought of trying it one day. But usually find my self running out the door with only an hour to swing the detector lol

Congrats!

Remember what I said about checking new pennies. I took my own advice and got a 2010 proof penny today.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I'm getting another $25 box Saturday, and if I get all new ones I will look out for errors
