New Pennies
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:30 pm
Been lurking for awhile and decided to sign up and post. I have been accumulating some gold and silver for awhile but just started with copper.
Just finishing my first $25 box of pennies and will then start on my second. I am hand sorting. I have been keeping 1981 and below in one pile and wheats in another.
I was planning on putting the "keepers" in rolls and back into the bank boxes to store. Any ideas on a better way to do it or where to get wrappers? I have checked with my bank and they don't give them away. I can just buy them if need be.
Also, I have noticed on some threads and on some other forums that people keep/hoard the newer pennies(1982/83 and up). What is the purpose of this?
Anyway, glad to be here and hope to learn some things.
