7500 pennies searched (Indian Head, King George VI + Bonus) PICS

[Canadian hunter]

I searched through 3 boxes of pennies. One box was MWR from Garda (Buff, the pic of the roll is in here as you requested). Other 2 were CWR. One bundle was all copper, pre 1992 pennies, but I only kept wheats and pre 1960 Canadians. I also got a funny ender (Lucky penny) so it turned out as a coin sticky cover, but still fun. I found lots of KG VI and young Queens. Also got my third IH a 1896 in better shape than 2 previous. Can anyone help me with a grade?
Anyway, enough of talking, enjoy the pics.

nice batch, thanks for the pictures, they are a little bit different than the Garda rolls here in America, of course, we don't have french written on out rolls

The IHP is in decent shape being 116 yeears old, I would grade it in VG-VF condition, nice find, still on my wishlist to find a pre 1900 coin in circulation, the closest i've come to pre 1900 was a 1904 nickel.

hope your totals keep up!

Do you get charged for ordering boxes of coins in Canada?

 

[Canadian hunter]

I don't order, so I don't get charged. When I order I'm either not paying anything or rejected of order.

I hope that its a typo but the copper pennies were before 1982, NOT 1992.

candian stayed copper until...*googling* 1996 - maybe he was referring to that...

I meant that al coins in that bundle were dated before 1992 so I saw a lot from 70s and 80s and they were all copper.
Yes the Canadian copper pennies were minted until 1996, in US it was until mid 1982.

Awesome box CH! This gives me hope that I can find that elusive Indian Head before the end of the summer. Great job finding three of them!

Do you keep all of the copper you come across, or just the pre-1960 Canadians and wheats?

 

[Canadian hunter]

Yes, only pre 1960, errors, wheats, IH obviously and anything like 2012 in good condition and other AU that I don't have in my collection yet.
I really liked your youtube video by the way. You give a really good strategy and explanation about penny box searching.
How many boxes you've done so far?

 

[CanadaCoinHunting]

Very cool, you did well in those boxes then for the pre-1960s and wheats.

Thanks a lot, glad you like the videos. My brother and I have probably done about 75 boxes so far.

 

[Canadian hunter]

75 boxes and no IH yet. I done only about 30 and found 3 already. Have you found lots of KG V pennies in those 75 boxes?

 

[CanadaCoinHunting]

Yeah, it seems like a run of bad luck on the IH. I have about 5 KG V pennies, including a 1920, but it has been a long time since I have found one of those. What about yourself?

 

[Canadian hunter]

Found 6 so far, it seem that there are more older coins in my area than in yours, taking in account I'm geographically closer to the Ottawa mint.

Ftaking in account I'm geographically closer to the Ottawa mint.

That's awkward, since the mint is culling old coins.
