Never give up hope....
 
My step-son has been getting boxes of pennies from the bank and sorting out the real copper ones and checking for numismatics.

Yesterday he had his wife stop at the bank and get another box.

He found a nice 1909 S VDB penny.

Never give up hope there are still some good ones out there.

I love hearing this type of stuff.

Best I've done in my penny roll searching is just some really nice about uncirculated early memorial cents (1959, '60, etc) and some wheats.

Guess I had better keep looking, eh?

About $2,000 US FRNs if in great condition maybe?

Enough for a couple of free ounces of GOLD! :23_1_22::23_1_22::signs14:

Congrats!
