1909 find
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:58 am
Found a 1909 wheat, no S and no VDB but still in VF-20 condition. Quite pleased; it's going in the whitman folder. Might be worth about $5 retail.
Been building up a backlog of boxes of unsorted pennies to justify getting a Ryedale. I sorted one box that had over 40% copper! So nice to find one with that kind of percentage. Otherwise been getting about 15% steadily. I keep track of my boxes on notecards, and I've sorted over 100.
Currently I'm picking up $200 every 2 weeks, in boxes. I'd like to up that to $200 a week, from 2 different banks, by New Years. Started this hobby about a year ago and still enjoying it very much.
