Country...will you be doing a new thread for each month for this tracking as you do for the silver?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

Since there are only 10 posters here, I think I'll just continue this thread for now. If we get more posters, we might have to go with a monthly format.

Country...thanks for the clarification.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

Country, I apologize for making more work for you. But I had to edit my post of 09/23/10 as I had miscalculated the dollar amount. The thirty rolls was correct but it should have been $15.00 (Shorted 17 Pennies) NOT $30.00.

I'm so sorry to cause this extra work for you.

They're pretty, but I don't think there is any premium for the circulated ones we find. I found a few of these myself.

wellllllllllllll...... not sure that it makes any sense.

1959. just because it is the first year. and only one of that decade
60-67... 61d,63d,64p go to a buyer.
68-74 because of the fact of having 's' mints, which i pull, with 68d, 71pd,72pd going to a buyer.
75-81 d.... since 82;s are seperate
\p .. in its own catagory, because i pull 1980 p for a buyer
82's so that folks with a ryedale can sort them.
wheats obviously
cdn. i break down further..... george, young queen, dove, midlife queen, 80-81--due to weight change, 82-89. 90-96 again due to weight changes.\

That is a lot of pennies!! I love this thread.
