Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves, or dollars, it doesn't matter. If you search for collectibles, rare dates, or oldies, post what you found! Don't forget, if you only found 1 goodie, its still good!

I am trying to get rolls of halves. My bank doesn't carry them and wont order them. Ill ask my dad to ask his bank. I did find a 1906 Indian Head penny in a roll of pennies once at work. I quickly grabbed that up.

I tried pennies a couple days ago and didn't find much. Got six rolls, no wheaties. But I did find a AU 1968-S and an Unc. 1972-D.
I also tried dimes...just filled in a couple holes in my whitman folder.

9 wheaties '37,40,40s,45,47,49d,52d,53d and a 57

Well, you may recall that on Saturday, I had a teller give me two rolls of halves with about 25 silver coins in them. She told me there was another $300 in the vault, but that I'd have to come back Monday to get them. Well, they were apparently not all from the same source as I had been led to believe. Not a total bust though...

Out of 31 rolls:

5 x 40%

A little disappointing, though, seeing that in the other two rolls I got 2 64s and 23 x 40%.

But better than nuthin'

Well back to the MA Thesis.

Curiosity, if you pull a coin out of a mixed roll, how can it be Unc?

I made out a list for my wife of what to look for at her place of business, and I check pocket change. I 've found a 98 wide a.m. cent and quite a few rpm's and 4 missing clad quarters, dimes and 1 quarter with missing clad on both sides. My wife has found maybe a dozen or so proof quarters, dimes and nickles from the 60's. The proofs are in great shape with one or two cams and a couple that have fingerprints, pays to look I guess.

i found four pieces of brilliant 2002 (d) sac dollars from the long island railroad station. the mint must throw out a lot of 2002 (d) uncirculated dollars.

it's an oxymoron in coin collector lingo.
Of course the coin has been "circulated" with change, BUT the quality still appears to be much much less circulated than the rest...and it's just easier and more traditional to just call it uncirculated. Even PCGS gives coins grades of MS-65+ that have been found in rolls of circulated coins and MS-65+ is uncirculated in coin lingo.

heh technically, even the production process of certain coins at the U.S. Mints intended for circulation are ALREADY circulated a tiny bit (still, that's circulated, they've been through machines and dropped into rolls slamming into each other.) thus even though the whole roll can easily be graded MS68-69 and 70, they've been thrown around already in the mint haha.
We cannot challenge the ways of the mint however. They supply the hobby!

finally got one van buren dollar. is it rare?...

From what I have heard, the term "uncirculated" refers to the condition of a coin, not whether it has been in circulation or not. Look at any coin as described in the red or blue books for "uncirculated" condition...it doesn't say anything about circulation. A coin can be found in pocket change and still be uncirculated; another coin can be ordered directly from the mint, and still be circulated.

you need to buy a bag for $1000.00

I bought a number of Jefferson rolls on ebay and ended up with near 80 RPM's or multiple strike mint marks. Wish I hadn't missed so many other rolls from that seller. I posted a couple here (variety nickels), but had many 53-s, rpm-002,3,4, and 54-s, 54-d, and a few other dates. Several are not yet attributed. Waiting for the Jefferson RPM update from CONECA, before I attempt attribution on a few.
Lately, I'm getting into Morgan VAMs. Don't even need rolls to find interesting die variations. Many are already slabbed without attribution.

What is a "VAM"? Thanks
