I'm hoping persistence will pay off.

Hi guy's, yes I bought another box of pennies! Lol. This will be my 3rd box in about 6 weeks. Not counting who knows how many single rolls I searched through since then? I am ready to have some fun this weekend, hopefully this will be the box that will hand over that elusive, "1992 Close AM?" I'll let you guys know if anything found significant. Thanks ;)

    I thought the holes were there to accelerate the toning process.

    I've never had any luck searching rolls from banks, but I hope you do!

    Lol. Yeah, there must be a wild animal inside, like the "1992 Close AM" Beast? :D
    I hope!

    Based on the pictures I am guessing that you are addicted to roll searching and coffee.

    Put on the mask and get the wet ones out - you can never be too careful. I foresee dirty fingers in your future. :D

    Every time I take a break. Many breaks in between beginning to end.

    You know what guys? I know I said my goal was to find the 1992 Close AM variety. But reality, any coin that would be worth sending in to grade would satisfy me. ;)

    Looks like a coin star run is in order

    Indeed it is. And I’ll try not to post any PMD later...
    No guarantees 😜

    Joey, how you coming along? I've already been through a box after dinner out and a late start. I have one shiner and some machine doubling that caused a double take :)

  • joeykoinsjoeykoins Posts: 17,547 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Lol. I'm still at work. Only took one roll out of the box to bring inside so I can check. Went through that roll. Nothing but a few 1983's to weigh when I get home.
    That '87 is awesome. Looks like a match to me. Good going. ;)

    I find Penny roll searching to be very relaxing. I haven’t done it in a couple of years but was doing it a lot a few years back when life’s stresses were overwhelming. That, in combination with the right music, and occasionally the right glass of Port, made for a pretty effective stress escape route.
    As far as escapes, and vices, it was a pretty harmless one!

    I have a couple of gallon jars of cents to go through some cold, snowy day... one is a jar of wheaties as well... Somehow I always seem to have other things to do... Actually, that is probably good.... Although coin searching is interesting to me, I do not look forward to the time when that will be all I can do... ;) So - off to the day's adventures for me... :D Cheers, RickO

    1988, an Error coin? Only the third roll in.
    At first I thought, "PMD". Until I seen the area at 5:00 Obv.


    Mostly on the obverse.

    You were right with your first impression. PMD. Its a vise job. Sandwich a couple coins and squeeze in a vise, or hit with a hammer. Not an error

    Lance.

    To determine their weight, of course!

    Yes, some are copper (post 1982). Even the "small Date" 1982, has a copper contents, 3.1g, as opposed to 2.5 g. BIG money!

    The Helvetica coin is a Switzerland 10 rappen

  • JBKJBK Posts: 16,429 ✭✭✭✭✭

    OP: Why do you call the US coin a "penny" but the Canadian counterpart a "cent"? :D

  • OldhoopsterOldhoopster Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭✭✭

    You're persistence did pay off. The 10 rappen has a face value of about 11 cents. You just need to go to Switzerland to realize your 1000% profit on that coin. :D

    @joeykoins
    Good find on the 68-D/D #1.
    Coin is rough but should still be worth a couple of bucks.
