Sweet penny pick up rolls from an old lady

Postby Pennysaved » Tue Sep 13, 2011 9:01 pm

I went to my half pick up bank and they said they didn't get my order in today

So, I decided to drive up the street to another bank where I get a lot of customer wrapped pennies

He said he had $140 customer wrapped pennies he could sell me and said that most of them where in really old wrappers that an elderly lady turned in. I bought them of course.

I opened the 1st wrapper and it had 12 wheats and all the rest pre-80 coppers with some really shiny 1971 S pennies.

Looking forward to going through these :)

He didn't have anything else; I bought all the nickels he had and they were all plastic wrapped not paper wrapped

He said she only brought in pennies :-(

Rolls that some "old lady" brought in. :!:

Most of us Cu hoarders get more excited over something like this than a womens wet T-shirt contest. :lol:
