Another 12 Boxes of pennies!!! ***UPDATED WITH TOTALS AND PICTURE***

[Shake-N-Bake]

hello all,
I got another 12 boxes of pennies today. I have done the first 2 then I realize that I was getting A LOT of BU older coins. I started keeping track and foud that i found a whole roll of 1981 near BU, and a bunch of 1979, 1974, 1982's that were perfect red shiny copper cents. I also got 49 wheats from the first two boxes. I will update later with final totals.

Enjoy the pic...

Happy Hunting,
Jason

I was already insane so what is the next step.... I am about 5 boxes deep so far and the totals are:

wheats = 78

1974 BU's = 150+
1980 BU's = 100+
1981 BU's = 300+

not sure what is up with the BU's but I am not complaining.

Happy Hunting,

OK totals are in.....

12 boxes of pennies searched.

Wheats = 174 (1909, 1912, 1914, 1919,1920 are a few of the older ones)

1974, 1980, 1981, 1982 very RED shiney BU's = about 1,000 (check out the monster pile of the BU's

The BU coins are some of the nicest I have ever seen, even Original bank roll that I have puchased dont look this nice. not sure where they came form but they are very, very nice.

I am picking up another $300 worth of pennies today (12 boxes)

Happy Hunting,

I wish I had the million dollar answer. trade them for your BU Franklins. NO, huh... I am going to keep a roll for myself and probably sell or trade the rest. Roll prices for these are cheap but the MS-65 red price is high, and some of these are easy MS-65 to MS-67 grade. I just had a dealer pick out a couple of them that he liked and gave me $5 a piece for them. So I cant complain. A 1981 MS-66Red books for $40, but it is all what people are willing to pay for them...

Well off to pick up 12 more boxes.

Happy Hunting,
Jason
