No Big Deal but found my Fifth 1909 Cent for the Year
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:39 am
I ran to my pick-up bank today and walked out with 4 of their $50 penny bags. I'll grab the other 3 in the morning. Well, I started running them through the Ryedale and I spotted an older looking wheat while sifting through the pennies on a lookout for any and everything that might cause a jam. Some interesting items have been found recently!
Anyway, I grab the wheat and it's a 1918S. Cool.....teen wheat with a mintmark!! So, while the Ryedale keeps working without jamming, I keep looking for wheats and everything else! The bags are not that good so far for copper. I see freakin' tons of "Shields" looking back at me. I start to get down a bit. But soon I find another old wheat looking at me
1909....no VDB......no "S".....but still a plain 1909 and in decent shape! Cool!
Now just that one little wheat makes me feel better about this lower than average copper run. I'll be lucky to hit 20%!
