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.

Thought I would share.

Thats great! Happy birthday. The first box I ever hand sorted I got a 1909 VDB. Its the first good find that makes you additcted , walk away while you still can

cool man and have a great rest of the day!

. Happy birthday, congratulations on the great finds.

Wow, great birthday gift! Enjoy it!

I have also ask for pennies for my birthday one year.

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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I also get boxes from first niagara. I'm usually happy with what I get.

Happy Birthday...may all your pennies be copper!

Nice finds! Hope you have a good day.
