Results from 2 boxes of pennies, pictures, and error included*************

Hi all, I decided to start November off with pennies. Since halves are slow for me(10 box skunk streak), and nickels were not nice to me in october, pennies almost always average me 18 wheats per box. I like to search pennies for fun when silver is being tough on me.

Box 1 was from one bank, came in brinks box stamped 10/31/11 with a machine number.
Box 2 was from another bank, no box, but were brinks rolls.

Here's the take:
1919
1940
1942
1944
1945
(2x) 1946
1946-S
1949
(2x) 1950
1950d
(2) 1951(one almost red)
1951d
1952d
(2x) 1953
1954
1955
1955d
(4x) 1956
(3x) 1956d
1957
(3x) 1957d
(2x) 1958, both snow red color

And... a 1972 clipped planchet penny. **see picture**

Also, 3 red-brown color wheats in 2 boxes is WAY above average, I am averaging off of a rough guess, 1 of these red-brown wheats every 2-3 boxes. *scanned in 600 dpi for best picture)

update: added another penny, looks like a grease filled die. not 100% sure though, it's 2000, can just read the date.

-I do not flip over each penny to the obverse or reverse, just so happened this penny was facing up at me. I dump out the pennies, and slide them into my hand 5-10 at a time quickly glancing for wheat reverse or older patina/dates.

Haha no problem. And for future reference, you can use tinypic.com to resize your photos; the size "message boards" works just fine.

thanks, this forum has it's ups and downs, but overall, it is a very useful site, and a great one to share finds with. Makes CRH'ing more fun when you can share your results with others who are doing the same thing as you from different parts of the country.

I am assembling a clipped planchet collection from circulation(not, haha). Though it would be nice, not one of my major goals. So far this year, I have a double-clipped nickel and a single-clipped penny. Always keeping my eyes out for unusual things. though it is a small clip, it is a clip nonetheless. Whether it is worth $1 or $100, interesting find.
