80 dimes!!!!! You better report that profit to a certain 3 letter organization!
that's amazing! I've gotten a little over a roll so far, and that's only because they were so dirty/nasty they were hard to distinguish as dimes. |

| If the cent is changed to plated steel, I expect we'll be finding more '43 steelies in the mix. |

| Of the 80 dimes, 50 came in one roll!! Nothing like opening a penny roll and having 50 dimes fall out. At first I thought it looked a little short and that someone was shortchanging me. When I saw the first dime on the end I thought, ok this makes up for being short. When the other 49 fell out of the roll I was pretty happy! |

Found my third steel cent for the year today. However you will LOVE how I found it. I go to my dump bank to drop off my zincs. There is a coin machine in the lobby. I have noticed that almost every time I go there is some change under the overhang at the floor. Today I look under and find a 1943 steel cent on the floor on one side! On the other side was a dime, nickel and two pennies. Nice!

Found my very first 1943 US Steel cent today in my second box of Canadian pennies. It is not in very good shape :(
I find hundreds of Canadian Steel Cents though. |

The penny gods were smiling upon me in a huge way this morning... i got $25 in CWRs, and got a total of 41 steels... unfortunately, most of them are badly corroded, most to the point that they also damaged the coins they were touching in the roll.  Of the 41, 18 had legible dates (all P's), and 4 were what i'd consider "decent". i'll probably just spend the really cruddy ones |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

Several weeks back, i got a bag of pennies that had a lot of steel cents in it.
I finally got around to counting them today. There were 43-1943 cents in there. Most were in o.k. condition. |
