First of all you have two great banks that work with you! I think it's kind of rare that a person is able to find a good supply and dump bank.

WOW, that's amazing 2 Flying Eagle cent coins! I love when I get the older Canadian cents as well! Congratulations!!!!

Holy **** (insert four letter word of choice) that is amazing!! I only have one flying eagle in my whole collection and I had to pay like 30 bucks for it. You are one lucky and/or determined SOB! This is the first time I have even seen one of those old-style canadian pennies! Congratulations!

Still trying to figure that one out. I think netherlands. Someone borrowed my World coins book so I am lost for now. That one is actually in pretty good shape for the year...

Thanks Everyone for the great support. And Yes I am one determined SOB. These are the rewards you get for doing 300+ pennies boxes since the first of the year, And I love it and can't wait to do the next 600+ boxes.

THANKS,
Jason

[hit80s]

[steelsoldier]

Great finds... I am still looking for my first IH but you just raised the bar with the Flying Eagles...

The 1878 is from Netherlands.... looks like a 1/2 cent... $10 VF, $15 EF.... per the red book...

 

[scrounger d detector collector]

[davest]

what kind of premium do you get on the copper cents?

 

[goldencoin]

Your head is SPINNING, at first my back was killing me from sitting and sorting so much now my chest is killing me from my heart pounding so hard. There should be a warning label on these boxes that say weak at heart do not attempt. LOL!!!

OK, here is the final total.

24 Boxes searched:

2 Flying Eagles both 1858
5 Indian Heads (1889, 1897, 1904 x 2, 1908)
881 Wheats (1909 x 2, 1912, 1914, 1919 x 3 are a few of the oldies)

1878 Netherlands 1 Cent
5 King George V (1920 x 2, 1923, 1931, 1932)
12 King George VI

And a whole $#%@% Load of copper!!!!

Again thanks everyone for the great compliments.

Tomorrow I have 24 more boxes coming. YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Also did a nickel box and a dime box today.
Nickel box just a few pre 1960's
Dime Box (4 silver Rosie's one being 1940) Box dime box ever for me

Happy Hunting,
Jason

The final results are fantastic!! Five Indian Head pennies too! The penny boxes in your area are loaded! I've never searched that many penny boxes at one time, but the ones around here aren't loaded like that. lol Keep hitting them hard. Congratulations on the the silver Rosies too.
