I wasn't looking for error coins. Stumbled on this guy's auctions when looking at fossils on Ebay:

I don't even search cents for errors unless it is the poor man's DD '55 variety or the coin makes a strange sound when bounced on a hard surface. All the post '82 pennies I find are mostly worn or corroded. I find more shiny, nice 1960's era cents than anything too. Probably one of the last respites of coin roll searching are the pennies as nickels, dimes, halves and quarters searches are regressing to nothing lately. The last holdouts are the wheats. Seems like there is always a slight chance you will find something interesting with those guys.

Metal detector dig! That would be cool if someone bought it.

You'd see chinese reproductions.

I got a best offer for him but I don't know how I'm gonna ship one swift kick to the ass all the way to him.

Oh, crud. I just noticed he lives in San Antonio. This time, I promise, it's not me.

That's brilliant I need to start mashing up my pennies to make some extra money.
