Got a fresh batch of pennies to sort through, but the bank threw in a bonus old half dollar roll. Hoping for some solid copper pre-82s, maybe a few wheaties, and crossing my fingers for silver in the half dollar. I'll post updates if I find anything wild!

It took a ton of sorting through loose change and bank boxes to pull this much pre1982 copper out of circulation, but seeing it all in one massive pile makes the hunt totally worth it.

They each demanded their own folded blanket right next to the bed, and honestly, who am I to say no? Tiger is on the right, completely zoned out.

She insists on supervising every single study session. Her understanding of partial derivatives is a little fuzzy, but her formatting critique is brutal.

I hit the absolute jackpot at the pump today. I’m guessing it was a massive stack of loyalty rewards points combined with their current Unleaded 88 promotion, but the pump dropped the price down to exactly 2 cents a gallon.

​I managed to fill up my car's tank and my backup storage canisters to hit exactly 25.000 gallons for a flat 50 cents. Easily the best four quarters I have ever spent in my life!

​Hey everyone,

​I'm trying to track down a strange noise coming from the engine bay of my 2019 Chevy Spark LS (1.4L engine, right around 106,300 miles).

​In the video, you can hear a consistent, low-pitched humming or buzzing sound while the engine is idling. It sounds like it's concentrated around the driver's side of the engine bay, near the air filter box, MAF sensor, and engine cover area.

​A few quick details:

​The car is running fine otherwise, no check engine lights on at the moment.

​The noise is consistent at idle.

​Has anyone else with an Ecotec 1.4L dealt with this specific sound? Could it be a vacuum leak, a loose air box vibrating, a PCV issue, or maybe something with one of the pulleys/belts lower down?

​Any insight or ideas on what to check first would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Found these two going through $5 worth of pennies.

I wanted to share a few more photos of the collection as I’m getting everything organized. I’ve been focusing on a mix of high-weight bars and some diverse rounds.

​ A few stacks of Buffalo rounds. There’s something satisfying about a tall stack of silver.

​ A 10oz Scottsdale bar next to a 47th President round and some gold in the back.

​ Can't get enough of these 100oz Scottsdale stackers. Five of them together really shows the weight.

​ An overview of the current "loose" stack, including the Engelhard 100oz bar, some Valcambi kilos, and a few tubes of coins.

​It's been a journey building this up. Does anyone else prefer the 100oz bars over the kilos, or is it just me?

I’ve been working on organizing my "vault" and finally got everything laid out for some photos. I’m currently sitting on a decent mix of weight and government-backed bullion.

​I'm pretty happy with the progress so far. What do you all think of the variety? Any suggestions on what I should pivot toward next?

Hey everyone, I managed to put together a set of about 30 Wheat Cents. I've organized them as best as I could in these pictures shows the heads and shows the tails.

​The top pair are from 1917, and I have a variety from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I see a couple of steel pennies (1943) and one with some heavy green patina.

​Are there any standouts here that I should get closer looks at? Any info on key dates or potential errors would be much appreciated!
