My step-father always give my 3 year-old daughter his coins in his pockets when he sees her. When he did so today, I found a 1948D wheatie in the pile. An hour later, I was at my father's shop telling one of his customers about my find. He pulls out his change from his pocket and I dig out a 1928 wheatie from his pile! He gave it to me. I went to the bank to make a deposit. Before I left, I had the teller sell me one penny roll. Maybe I get lucky 3 times today......

A wheatie is a copper, but a copper is not a wheatie. Reminds me of HS math: by definition a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
Sorry dude! |
As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
When I give my two cents, they're always copper! |

| I guess what I should have said was that I pulled 14 pre-1982s out of the penny roll. |

| When you're typing about Pennies you must endeavor to be semantically precise, otherwise all sorts of wild ideas begin to formulate! |
There's profit if you melt things!!

28% copper pennies is a good ratio.
There are still a lot of wild wheats out there. |

| I found 3 interesting finds today.....While at my Dad's shop, I ask my Uncle to let me inspect all the pennies that he was carrying in his pockets. He hands me his change. Out of all the pennies, I found 3 zincs, 1 1977 copper, a 1944 Wheatie, and 4 of the newer Lincoln wood splitting pennies. Of course I kept the copper, the wheatie, and 2 of the new Lincolns! |
