Canada Extends The Life of the Penny

In March 2012 reports started coming out that the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) intended to stop distributing pennies to financial institutions in September.  Please see my previous post:  Canada gets rid of their penny. Now new reports are coming in that the RCM will now continue to distribute pennies until February 4th, 2013.  This is a 5 month extension for all you copper hoarders and penny collectors out there to continue doing your thing.

Penny production for the 2012 year has already ended.  I am curious to see if this extension may bring about a possible 2013 Canadian penny. 

Happy Hunting!

Nickel Roll Hunting part 1 (w / video & pictures)

I've started to really enjoy documenting the process of coin roll hunting.  I think it has a lot to do with the new camera I was recently given.  Now that I can take HD video I might as well use it while coin roll hunting.
Below is the first attempt to film Nickel Roll Hunting in action.  
I sorted 2 boxes ($200) and it took me 96 minutes.

Here are some pictures of the coins I found in this sorting batch.  I want to apologize if the pictures aren't what you're used to.  The camera doesn't have the best macro setting and I'm still working on perfecting it.  That being said.  I hope you enjoy them.  I found some really old Canadian nickels this time around.  The 1931 was a first for me while roll hunting.

Leave a comment if you like!!  Happy Roll Hunting 8^D

A Closer Look Into Coin Roll Hunting

Silver finds haven't been all that great these past couple weeks.  So I choose to work on a video I made a little while back when my yields were a bit higher.  Remember to switch to HD if you watch the video.  This was my first attempt at making such a video, hope you like it.

Happy Hunting!!!
