I never thought I would have to do a 2 part post, but today was different. Have not picked up for awhile(long work hours) So today I forced myself out of bed at 11 AM(I work nights) saturdays the credit union is open till 1PM. I go to first one, they have $50, I take em! drive to second one about 2 miles away, last stop, hoping I can get at LEAST $20. The teller says she has $60, then the teller next to her says I have a lot of pennies( all CWRs they dont like em) I said ladies, I can take care of both of you(always wanted to say that, but in a different context) SO I got $110 from THAT CU, and noticed a row of VERY old looking wrappers on top of one of the $25 trays. Got home opened one of those old ones(figuring %100 roll) it was 100%... canadian! latest 1959! 33 george6 1 george5 1930 . 7 rolls left I am saving to open later. am posting part 2 tomorrow cause the 1st bank, which I only have sorted about $10 is freakish also! anyone need some georges?

I can just hear the old broad now, bitching at the guy on his deathbed. "why the hell did you hoard those stupid canadin pennys? You moron!"

He was laying there dying and felt like he was waiting in line for the best ice cream cone ever made.

He got his ice cream and she got, PENNIES!

Thogeyisms --
old elderly widow brings in the rest of her, probably happily, dead husband's coins.

What the hell is wrong with these women? No wonder the man wants to die first.

and
The proverbial elderly old widow who just finished pile driving her old man into the grave. He's happy to be there too. But since she is all-knowing, as all these old bats are, and he was totally broken and emasculated, her final act of victory was to take his collection to the bank. Same old story....


And --
Same old story. Most of us have benifited and picked up someone's hard earned booty.

It's always the "all knowing, never wrong" widow who just drove the old man into the grave, he's glad to be there too.

The old broad cashed in his coins at face. Same old story.

And
... believe the oldman is/ was a moron!. I'll bet he is the happiest he's ever been. No matter where his soul is. Congrats. We should start an "elderly old widow just threw her late (yet happy) husbands coin collection away and now I'm happy "thread I absolutely LOVE picking these up!


and --
The elderly old widow left another present. She's still wondering why that stupid old bastard kept those coins for the past 45 years.

and--
... any of the silver....they shared amongst themselves the treasure. They wouldn't even sell me the pennies. Correction: It was an "all knowing Elderly old widow" who just finished pile driving her(idiot coin collecting)r husband into the grave

and--
You did the right thing but..... I'll do this again: Typical story describing the elderly old broad ,who effing nailed his coffin shut, because she had nothing better to do. He was an idiot, hanging on to those coins when he could have just just taken them to the ...

and--
... she asked. Most of us score cheap PM's at garage sales all the time. Are we ripping people off? Hell I've walked right up behind the all knowing, elderly-old widow and bought her, happily dead husband's coins from the bank teller at face.

and
If I saw a clueless kid in line to depost silver I would give him the info before I bought them. But, the elderly old widow who made her husband miserable and finally put him in the ground with her constant bitching and know it all attitude?.......those ...

They had another $20.00 of the elderly old widow's, (happily) dead husband's, hoard waiting for me at my pickup.
My name was written on the box with a sharpie.

Solid copper with 2 rolls of wheats and 9-1943s.

That's nice.

and--
When scoring the all-knowing, elderly. old widow's dead (happily) husband's hoard..

Is it possible there is a ghost attached?

and--
Tellers said they would call when old elderly widow brings in the rest of her, probably happily, dead husband's coins.

I'm looking for an affordable 1923 and 1925. They are the two "key" dates of the George V small cents.
