I love peeking in the sealed bags! I was at a stop light with a bag today and was delighted to see a 1937 on top! Its almost more dangerous than texting and driving at the same time,for me to have a sealed bag riding next to me! Good luck with that bag-looks like a good one!

That is one in a million!... Well probably more like 10 million, because we search alot of cents!
A couple weeks ago a packaged up some bags for a customer, and noticed the reverse of a beautiful BU wheat just sitting there... I tried to push the coins in the bag around to see the date, but ended up losing it...

I check the "CoinLock" plastic bags all the time. I keep turning them and turning them. Then stop and look for wheats or IH's or even Canadians. You going to tell me that, as a kid, you never secretly opened any of your Christmas gifts...then taped 'em back up? YOU GOTTA LOOK! Anyway, sometimes when I get the canvas bags, I have to keep grabbing handfulls until I see what I want to see. Sometimes I gotta dig and dig my hand to the bottom of the bag....'cause that's where all the good stuff goes you know!

Just finished the bag... along with the Indian was a very nice 1909 vbd! I am very excited! I almost missed the 1909 cause it was red, not old.. Now I have a bag to try to top in the future! Ill take a pic later of the pair of goodies.. Diggin.. (PS I am officially addicted) Heading to the bank to see if there is another bag..

I got a bag just sitting here...each time I walk by it I have to pick it up and shake it a couple of times to see whatever I can! :D
