Grandfather's Pennies

Its about that time... Before my grandfather passed away 11 years ago when I was overseas, he gave my parents two water cooler jugs full of wheat penny's he has been saving since he was a child (huge coin collector when he was alive). When I returned, I continued to add to them making it two and third water cooler jugs full..So I started today sloooowly going through them...and a found a few pleasant surprises after only going through a quart of them...On a side note, I was thinking taking the excess ones which are somewhat iffy condition and creating books to donate to the less fortunate, its what my grandfather would've done.

8 Steel penny's
-2 1943's
-3 1943 D's
-3 1943 S's



So far thats not the best of it...

I found 3 1909 VDB's and one regular 1909...however one of the VDB's is in spectacular condition being that it was circulated...

Very nice find with the pennies. Thank you for your service. My dad was in the Pacific in WWII. I have his Navy tags and wear them today. Those guys truly were the greatest generation.
