Thread: Roll-searchers, post your results!

1 box of nickels netted me 2 silvers, '42-s and a '45-d. It also produced 17 pre 50's, and a 1950, not the D dang it. Nice score on the 14 silvers woobacca!

Sounds like folks are having good luck! I have noticed 10x the amount of NIFC and non-silver coins in my searching.. Dealers don't want to buy BU down here, so people are dumping them. I had 6 boxes of BU 97P halves and 3 of 4 dealers told me to 'spend it'.

It isn't in demand, which means more nice coins for us searchers!

Also worth noting; I've found proofs of every other denomination except dimes.

Merc, if you have several is there something I could trade you for a VDB? I found 2 1909 pennies but not a VDB and my US type set needs one. Need any halves?

Erin

picked up 5 boxes of halves and only got 4 40%ers and 1 64.......

I search through rolls of circulated pennies and often find at least one wheat penny per roll. The coolest wheat I have found was a 1936 DD.

I got a 2011 dime in change today. First one I've seen. Do I get a cookie?

Nope, cause I found one last week.....I beat ya!

Out of $310 in dimes:

9 silver roosies (one Render?), including a 1949D for the Album.

Only need 10 more to finish!

Question: How can you tell if a coin that you find is from a proof set? Also I just found a strange dime, when you look at it from the side its like it has been hollowed out some. Almost like the top and bottom part of the coin were sat on top of a middle part that wasn't big enough for it. Anyone ever seen this before?

That's post-mint damage, I've seen a few like that in my time.

As for proofs, well, they're pretty obvious.

Many proof coins will have the 'S' mintmark and a mirror-like finish. Posting pics is always helpful. Welcome to CT.

So far, $200 in a combination of customer-wrapped and bank-wrapped rolls of dimes has yielded a single '64-D Roosevelt, and that was from a CWR. I also found a 2009-D in a CWR.

Searched a box of halves - nothing
box of dimes- nothing
$160 in dimes 1 silver; someone was a real cheapskate and one roll was all pennies, the bank exchanged it for me
another $250 in dimes found 4 silver dimes

Found these two today! A nice red 1952-D and a 1901 Indian Head, too bad about that hole!
