Talking Lazy Man Finds!

A couple of weekends ago I was home at my parents house just sitting around when I noticed my sister had rolled about 8 rolls of pennies! So as I sat in front of the TV I went through them all and found 22 wheaties!!!! The oldest one was a 1918! So for just sitting on my butt I thought that was a pretty good find!!!! lol

Good deal. I like to play the snack machine slot machines myself. Put in a new coin and hit the return and see if you win a coin for your collection. I've found dozens of nickles in the 50's and older and a silver dime and 2 war time nickles. Try it you'll like it. Jason

Hi AJ,

Find yourself a local coin shop or Walmart may have coin folders.

Let me get the Jefferson nickel folder for you because I have some nickels that I don't want. Email your address to me
