Went to my pickup bank to grab my order of nickels. While I was there they mentioned they had 2 bags of pennies. Hesitated, then decided to take them off their hands, as I know they like getting rid of the bags and I had room for them. Got home and started unloading the nickels out of the trunk and I noticed the bag laying on it's side had a lot of copper in it.

I looked a little closer, and staring back at me were about 3 dozen wheat cent backs. I looked some more, and saw a bunch of 40's and 50's faces. Hoping to find a little older wheats, but happy with what I can see. I'm getting ready to go through this bag penny by penny, I'll keep you guys updated. Time to grab a beer and get busy!

Took a couple pics:

is it fun to sort bags knowing that you will something. I love it when I see silver looking at me from the inside of a bag.

Yeah, pretty happy knowing something cool is there.

So far, seems like someone dumped their 40s and 50s collection nothing older than that. don't think I'll be finding any IH's or 09's. can still hope, though, lots of bag left.

about $1.75 50's about half that 40's

Needs more beer caps...

Congrats on the nice bag

Congrats, those bags look tasty to sift through

Lookin' good! I'd love to find something like that.

Update us......please!

Some of us don't sleep!

Awww, what an awesome bag! In the early 80's that was common. We would sort out the wheaties and dump the rest. We didn't know how good we had it. Now it's a rare find.

I love coins!

Congrats on the great find!!

That is great! I remember getting bags like that in the 60's.
