So today is my birthday and....

Postby AlexTG » Wed Oct 20, 2010 10:39 pm

So today is my birthday.

But first the back story. A few days ago my wife asked me what she could tell other people to get me for my birthday. I always say nothing because I don't feel I NEED anything more than I have. Just kidding however, I said "bricks of pennies"

So today for my birthday, my In-Laws got me a brick of pennies. First brinks box I have ever got, they Bank with First Niagra and I use PNC. I wish PNC used brinks because plastic raps are so much easier to handel and the boxes are much more usfull.

The pull from this box?

34% copper (about 6% above my normal)


21 Canadian, 16 common date wheats

a 1928
a 1916

AND a 1909....

No VDB or S but I have finally found one. :D

Thought I would share.

Its good to see that you have family who at least tolerate your new habit. As far as Brinks is concerned, I agree. Although I bank at PNC I get Brinks boxes from a few of the smaller banks in the area. The box I just finished had about 30% copper and 25 wheat pennies (including a 1919). Try getting a box from First Niagra yourself. I've gotten several boxes from them without an account an have yet to be turned away.
