Finds from Penny roll checks - weird canadian penny find
So, the pennies provided a lesser amount of time than the nickels
(since I had already started the books on the memorials). Nothing special other than 1919 - between G-4 and VG-8 1953 - F-12 (already had both those dates in my wheaties book) 1975 canadian And, the one that REALLY through me.... 1941 canadian (it through me because I remember JUST reading how the IND IMP on the obv had to be removed (I forget which year)....then BAM!, I get one.aside from toning/corroding look (it is REALLY dark and I don't know its "natural" color) it has really sharp/fine details. Being a canadian coin, it probably isn't worth much anyway though...oh well. Larry...if you are reading this, thanks again for the photograde book....it is as good to get started as people have said and I am using it quite a bit right now. Now...on to the dimes.... Oh yeah....almost forgot to mention.....man, the bank I got these from included at least 1-2 CRAP coins in each roll (10 or 11 rolls I think). Unreadable, mangled, corroded, slimed with some gummy substance, you name it, it was ugly. EACH AND EVERY roll! For the 1919, 1953, and 1941canadian, I found all 3 of those in the same roll (along with my 1971-S and 1969-S that I needed. Once again, my book is missing mainly philadelphia mintages. Still need: 1959 1960 1961 192 1968-S (my birthyear) 1969 1973 1978 1982 (ok...aside from using a scale, how DO you tell the difference ith the copper and zinc???)...Alan? Anyone? I think I have a 1982 copper lg date (crappy condition though) don't have 1982 copper small date. Nor 1982 zinc small date 1984 197 1990 1992 2002 2002-D 2003 I won't even list the wheaties I am still missing yet.....I want to try to cover all the "current" ones in the books for my boy first. The penny search was "interesting" and was actually better than the nickel search...I didn't think it was. |
