Hey everyone,
I just got done sorting $77.10 in pennies. (I know its a weird number but thats what the bank had in loose pennies) I found a 1914 S in VF-XF condition! (Scan doesnt pick up all the detail on the cheek, hair, or top of wheats) Should be worth around $25

| Major score - I got a 1930 S the other day and I rushed to the price book because it seemed like it should be rare, but it isn't at all. I've since brushed up on all the key dates. |

AMAZING FIND! Fifty years ago when I was searching through pennies, I never found a 1914-S. Great Find.  |

| Congrats highroller! Maybe I will eventually find something equivalent to that, but I doubt it with the volume I'm doing now. How did you spot it? By hand, or using a Ryedale? |

Using my Ryedale.
I always quickly thumb through the zinc side for wheats or indians. I never take very much time doing this because normally it is a waste of time. This baby just happened to be showing me her backside This is also how I found my 3rd IH on monday while sorting. |

I went through a box last night and I didnt find as great as a find as you did.
However, I was finding all these teens and 20s wheat pennies.
One of them was a 1926 S |
