    Best fifty bucks ever spent

    Early 1980's time capsule full of pennies starting at 85 all the way back into some Wheats mostly early eighties late seventies uncirculated coins! I spend 50 bucks on 25 pounds, here's a couple of pics of just a few that I was able to separate from the rest

    Nice time capsule. So you ended up with about 70 rolls, which was about 1.4c for each cent.
    Good deal even for circulated ones!

                I have come across hand rolls that way were the latest would be a mid 80's. Gives you lots of BU memorials to keep around. Nice catch

                    only found a couple lamination errors at this point just because they're easy to see with the naked eye and they were on wheat backs

                      That's awesome. I scored a similar type of hoard a few years ago. Pulled a BU 1960D DDO-001/RPM100 out of it in EDS! Good luck and let us know!
