Big Find

Postby narragansett » Sat Feb 23, 2013 3:03 pm

My wife went to the bank on Thursday to get my usual 2 boxes of pennies. The teller asked my wife if she wanted some CWRs. She said sure. Well, out of 5000 pennies I got 1813 coppers PLUS 807 wheat backs. Not many real old ones but a lot of S mints from the 40s. That made my day. I wnet back yesterday and got another 103 rolls but I have not gone thru them yet. I do not think that there are many wheat backs but there should be some copper.

The thrill of the hunt. A prize in every package. That sense of having found treasure.

It's what keeps us in the game.

Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

Oh, it looks good on you though.

Very nice - congrats.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.


$100 Silver soon coming to a location near you.
