    I started saving coins a bit over two months ago and it's definitely fun and addictive. In my case, it's not just pennies, but also nickels, dimes, and quarters. I've been very strategic about how I accumulate them and I roll them each week to keep better track of the progress, and thus far I've been averaging almost $3 a day. At this rate I hope to break $1,000 by the end of the year. If this guy wouldn't have focused only on pennies but also saved nickels, dimes, and quarters, he could've saved up $45,000+ over all those years.

    I was in a grocery store several years ago and watched an elderly man pull up in front of the store in a truck with the truck bed completely full of jugs filled with change. He had a couple of male employees unload them and they headed to the Coinstar machine. He said that when he bought the truck he was currently driving he started saving his change so that when it was time to get a new one he could pay for it with his change. Well apparently he new exactly how much he had because he said he had enough to buy one off the showroom floor. I was going to stick around to see how much he ended up with but he had drawn quite a crowd and management of the store was trying to contact their corporate office because they had to pay this out and nobody was sure how much change the coin star machine would accept.

    My mother, who was born in 1927, and grew up during the depression, always picked up every single penny or coin she found. Till the week she died, last year. She would save the money and at the end of the year donate what she had found to a charity. In the days and weeks after her death, i began finding coins on the ground. Late one night within a few weeks of her death i was in a secluded parking lot at night. I had parked under a light pole, and upon return to my car right in front of the driver side door on the ground, was one of those new gold $1 coins. 😇

      stamps briefmarken timbre gabriel.c.l The wheat penny is a classic iconic early 21st century American coin with a face value of 1 cent that was minted from 1909 to 1956. On a personal note we just love searching penny rolls forwheat and indian head pennies. This is what the definition of it is. But they say "one cent" on the back instead of having the white house or whatever building is in the back or the shield of the newer pennies. Some are worth thousands of dollars.

      Steel pennies were made in 1943 since copper wad needed for the war. They aren't that valuable, and are only worth a few cents in average condition. Some 1943 copper pennies however were made on accident and are considered extremely rare error coins. They go for 50k-1.8M depending on grade. Less than 10 of them were found and there may possibly be a few left out there. The problem with 1943 pennnies (and any other valueble coin) is that there are countless fakes out there meant to deceive people, making it very hard for you to find a legitimate one.

      Most pennies up until sometime 1983 were 95% copper the rest zinc but still Illegal to melt for profit. Its still more profitable in its current state knowing the amount of copper content per year of minting, currently a 95% copper penny is worth three times face value. Some certain mintings are worth much much more.

    He neglected all the value of rare pennies. It is surprising how quickly you can go through a 5 gallon jug of pennies to find the old designs and rare metal ones once you get in the swing of it. Probabaly one jug a day. A 2 week project at most for thousands of more extra dollars. He got ripped off.

It took his kids and grandkids weeks to sift out the silver and wheat coins. They had quite a lot of them! Those were sent to the local coin dealer whom graded and sorted the silver and others. It took a month! They offered him $5 thousand dollars just for the silver! He got another 10 grand for the regular stuff. Total was $15 grand. He wanted to bury another barrel but his family said no! I was there the day they used a back hoe to dig up the barrel. They used wheelbarrows and loaded the coins into plastic totes.

He kept looking and getting other opinions and estimates, price at another dentist was 22k, another 8k. Finally went to one who told him that you didn't need all his molars (you can do just fine with 4) and didn't need other things the rip off quacks told him he needed. His final bill at this dentist, $1700.00. A year later he is doing just fine. Just because they are doctors don't mean they're not crooks. Keep that in mind when looking for dental work.
