This is two weeks in roll I got flooded with all 2008 denver pennys. Its seems the feds are sending only boxs full of brand new coins. Its seems like the intire town where I live is like that. I hit every bank and got over 8 boxes of those so far. Its seems every bank thats uses loomis has goten them. I cant short or do anything since they all 2007 or 2008 zincs. Soulth texas is full of new pennys. It not just banks at taco bell and the gas station they giving out 2008 denver pennys as change. They even had brand new rolls in cash till.
Ow well maybe next week or next monlth I can get some pennys to short or try another bank that will not use loomis.

I love those fed boxes and hoard up pre 64 silver coins such as rolls of 64 half dollers. Maybe copper will be very expensive such as silver is. |

| LOL.. That is just the way it goes. You are getting flooded with them and the rest of us that would like to get some can't get a single one. Maybe we should do some swapping. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| I would be interested in trading pre-1982's for a few rolls of your 2008's. I'd obviously make it worth your while (perhaps 2:1)? |

I have a guy that makes custom "encased pennies" that last I knew needs rolls of 2008 pennies!
He is at You must be logged in to see this link. I doubt he would pay alot but its nice to help another coin collector out. (besides I am waiting for him to get the 2008 coins in for this years order to give out at my work)
Kelly is a good guy if you have extra, email him. (maybe he would take em)
