So....I had like around $100 dollars in CWR's to go through. And all of a sudden, I'm hitting roll after roll of nasties, where the entire roll was loose dirt, gunky green coins with dust, bent coins or ones with pieces missing etc. Disgusting. And I got like 20 rolls of them!! ARGH! Don't you hate that?? So now I have a half a box that I have to go through manually, roll them and unload them on somebody else. The good news is, I learned after the first five rolls to always check the first few coins, as I had been knifing through the middle of the roll like I usually do; plus, the guy always put them in the same style of generic wrapper and didn't go a very good job of it; so it was a dead giveaway. So when I hit the first three coins by peeking inside and determined they were yuck, I kept the whole roll intact so I didn't have to roll all 50 later.
Still, it was a pain. The only thing I can think of is that I got somebody else's hoard. Does this ever happen to any of you? What do you do when it happens to you? Just curious.
On a positive note, here's what I got out of 9038 good pennies (about $90.00), as I'm sure you all would like to know how I did, right??
1804 coppers (just under 20%)
4 CDN coppers
17 Wheats (earliest 1940 and only one s-mint)
Foreign stuff! Including stuff I never found before:
'95 Deutscheland 2 Pfennig
'54 Republique Francaise 10 Francs (isn't this part silver? I'll have to look it up)
Tiny old brown-colored Indian Rupee
2 GB New Penny (1989/1971); these may be half-penny, but not sure
