Hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I spent the day preparing my ruck for a journey into the mountains for a few days.
It might be an interesting journey because all "Open" fires are strictly prohibited.
Bad drought here in NE Georgia....

I've got 2 Coleman stoves...Those are deemed usable by the DNR.
And, I may find myself where no other human has been in many years. If ever.
But, a secluded campfire, at night, on a mountaintop,
seen by fire patrol airplanes just might cause a bit of a stink....
We'll see how this plays out, shall we?
And I've also been searching through a few handfuls from a bag of 5000 Lincoln cents. So far, about a half dozen "wheaties."
And all the pre '82 copper. Sorted in tins by decade.
Later to sort by year and mint mark. Then roll up 50 of each in wrappers and mark the date and mintmark on the wrapper. I've probably got 2 or 3 hundred dollars in face value stored like this.....
I remember when copper was high. One copper Lincoln cent was worth 3 cents.
Now, not so much...

A lot to be aware of when searching Lincoln cents....
"Wide AM's," Coneca listed double dies, etc.
I once found a 1999 wide AM.
It's worth about $700.
I paid one cent.
(I still have it)
No Halves or Ikes from the bank, but I got about 23 $2 bills and one was a 1953 red seal.
Also got $500 in ones.
Only 2 star notes. Sheesh!
Now I'm trying to figure out the 2009 series...
USPaperMoney.Info: Series 2009 $1
Best Wishes,
Scott
PS.
I've have also found 1998 and 2000 WAMS, a 1972 Coneca Double die and many interesting things.
Once, even a blank planchet! (of course, I still have these, also!)
I've probably searched through around 50,000 Lincoln cents in the last few years.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that I included a 1998 and a 2000 WAM in the Treasure Tube!
