Mini-jackpot

Postby narragansett » Wed Apr 27, 2011 7:08 am

Opened a box of pennies last night after the Red Sox and Bruins both lost. Ended up with 168 wheat backs. Mostly common dates but did get a 1918, 1919s,20s,28,30,37d,42s,46s.

Ihave not sorted ( hand) yet. I just opened the rolls & quickly picked out the wheaties. I will sort later ( maybe tonight while watching the Bruins beat the Canadiens.

So, a hockey fan are ya. I too enjoy the sport. We have a CHL team locally that I have season tickets to. Exciting opening round of the NHL playoffs this year. Tons of game sevens, gotta love it. As far as the Bruins/Canadians game, I am pulling for Montreal....

Deal

p.s. You gotta admit, that early whistle/no goal call last night was BS. The fans were pissed....
I plead the 2nd....

A little off the path but good, clean game last night.I am glad the Bruins pulled it off. I went to college in Beantown so you naturally become a Boston fan for all sports. Yes, Tom Brady (Patriots) does need a haircut.

Final count, including wheaties, was 824 copper (170 wheaties) for a 33% Cu take and 5 canadian. The % would be higher if I count the 1982s but I do not. Those as separated and the coppers will be taken out at a later date.
