A 1944(P) Wheatie and 4 more coppers*. *A copper is the normal 95% copper penny. A 95% U S copper penny as of today contains 1.9c worth of copper.

Yes, I think so. They are plentiful in rolls (older dates I mean) as opposed to finding silver in rolls of coins. I once found half a roll of silver war nickels, and half a roll of Buffalo nickels, most of which still had readable dates!  Grin  What do you think of that???

I think somebody got into daddies coins collection. I have only found a few silver nickels over the years. Maybe half a roll all toll. And I can only remember finding one Buffalo in rolls. Definitely a grate find.

Triggersmob,

Once the 2009 coins become plentiful, maybe we can trade.

I would like to bring my Australian Albums up-to-date.
