WINNING!

Postby ed_vantage17 » Fri Jul 08, 2011 6:11 pm

A fun four boxes today. 28% (normal for the area), found a dime in one (a first for me), a 1943 King George penny, a "un centesmio" from Panama, a 2 cent Euro coin, 2 shiny '69S (keepers for my penny albums), and a few wheats I pulled as they were dumped into the Ryedale. The best part though, I took my $71.74 to my dump bank and got a 1948 Roosie as part of the change. Can't wait to see what tomorrow's 4 boxes bring. :D

You're a total freakin' rockstar from Mars.

Are we a bunch of geeks or what!
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Anytime you can add one to the album your doing good. The Silver dime is a solid bonus too.

Nice!

I've found 2 dimes (none silver :( ) in about $100 FV so far, as well as a Caribbean Commonwealth cent...Been getting skimped on wheats though (found a 1925 and a 1926 in two consecutive rolls though!) and my percentages are only around 14%...

Nothing near as exciting today. Over 40 wheats (oldest was a 1910) including my first steel (43S). Over 30% though. When I dropped off my dump I gave some chocolates to keep em happy. Always kind of feels like I'm leaving the money on the dresser as I get ready to leave the whore house when I do that, but I gotta keep 'em happy.

Nice! I especially liked the part about the silver dime as change! Keep up the good work.
