Colin88 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I found two complete date runs of pennies from 1860 to 1961 ..including 69's and 5/3's, 26 Me's ...50's and 51's My mate lived opposite a bus terminus and for a couple of years we would 'buy' all the bagged up pennies off the conductors who were glad to get rid of them and I had a Saturday job working in a petrol station and used to look through all the coins and incredibly for now, our local vicar used to let me go through the collection plate...which included silver back to the 1820's...we'd sell a lot of it too and eventually we got a stall on the Saturday market...which was a also great way for two teenage lads to pick up girls.....A different time...
