Haven't posted in a bit here......I'm going to retire from handsorting.

Best of luck to all of my fellow handsorters.

Other -- 38/2010 Shield Pennies -- These were all found in one of the BWRs. I think it is what you call a "dirty roll". No Cu pennies in that roll at all, not even a 1982.

*Please Note: I do not keep track of the kids' birth years (both are zinc years) any longer, although I save them, unless it is some spectacular amount in a roll.
