Roll-searchers, post your results!

That's breaking one of the basic tenants of roll searching... Don't dump where you eat, and also, don't cherrypick individual coins, take them all. Plus, you can sell ikes for a premium on ebay.

Good advice. She had about 12 of them, I'll get them all .

 

Hahaha...I will say this: I did google that stuff, but most info is still confusing to a total novice.

 

It can definitely be overwhelming. I'm learning new stuff every day. That wikipedia entry on Ikes is a good place to start and has your answer to the composition question you asked.

 

Yes.....always take all they have. You can return the ones you don't want to another bank.

I ask for halves at banks. At one bank, she said that I'll not want these as they are both 1974s. She shared that someone asked for halves yesterday and didn't take them because of the year. I told her I'd take them anyway. Now, she loves to help me and will get all the halves she can for me.

 

What is everyone doing with their foreign\world coins and specifically the Canadian coins? I think I am up to about 3-4 jars worth. One area in my company usually hires an intern from McGill Univ. (in Canada) so I am thinking of trying to get him\her to cash their US currency into me when they are ready to head back to Canada so I can get rid of these coins. Maybe I'll give them a discounted rate.

 

I have a canadian friend who just took a whole bunch off me (rolled and ready to be deposited) when he went to visit his parents last month. I took even exchange, even though the loonie was worth slightly more.

 

Broke the skunk streak....

Box of dimes from a different bank:

64
62D
1945 Canadian (George VI)

 

clad... keep some of the nice ones and sell the rest for small profit.

 

I'm now at 2 40%ers in my last 5 boxes. That does not count the $240 in BWR that were sliced and retaped that I picked up the other day. The teller was holding them for me so took them. Just picked up a dozen BWR's from another bank that I don't have an account at. It's the same teller that deals with the 1 box of halves they get every week. I slip her some chocolate every other week and she hasn't asked if I have an account. I asked her today, when she was opening the box, if "there were any good rolls." I then explained that I sometimes find some "older ones", described the Franklin and WL's and if she ever sees any to hold them for me and I'll bring her more candy.

I need to turn my luck around...I am hitting my local banks hard this weekend.

 

You could send it to me You could put the canadian on ebay... should get close to face. I go to canada often. I used to find some deals for canadian coin under exchange on ebay but not so much any more. There dollar is worth more than ours now

 

I found a roll of Susan B Anthony dollars, any chance an older coin would be in there? I mean, do older coins fall in those rolls occasionally?

 

Before you open it, how do you know they are all SBA's?

I don't know alot about SBA's so I am reading this: http://susanbanthonydollar.org/

 

I don't know, but it was on the end. Being I lack the knowledge, I was hesitant. I can go back and get it . What am I saying...if its nothing good, i can just take it back, duh!!

 

I got a story for you guys, and it's not really "roll-searching" but close enough:

My fiancee works at a bank (they don't have that coinstar type machine), and yesterday she comes home and tells me, "Some kid came in with 20 of those kennedy halves today, and he wanted to exchange them for paper money because he didn't want them." Now, at this point I'm just half-paying attention because people bringing in halves is not a rare thing to hear happening at a bank... and then she adds "some of them were so shiny! like almost yellow. They were so cool I kept 8 of them."

I JUMPED off the couch and looked in her envelope. Yes, gentlemen, those 8 were 1964 90% kennedys. Thought maybe it'll give you guys hope lol. They're still out there, and regular people who don't know coins are STILL missing them and they STILL slip by right under their noses.

 

I edited my original post with a link to some info on SBA's. Many coin denoms have errors, die varieties, etc. There may be proofs too. When in doubt: BUY! Then do some research and if they are commons, cash them in at a DIFFERENT bank.

 

AKA; Don't dump where you eat.

 

Sounds like the kid ripped off someones stash.

 

I bought a fed-wrapped roll of 2009 Native American dollars at a bank; she had several bank-wrapped rolls of dollars, almost all of them being Presidential dollars.

I searched through $25 in cents today, a combination of bank-wrapped and customer-wrapped rolls. They yielded the following:

*17 wheats (oldest was a 1936)
*15 Canadians (Including a '45 and a '48 George VI [aren't '48-dated Canadian coins rare?])
*A Trinidad and Tobago one-cent coin
*A 2009-D Presidency cent, completing a circulation-strike set of 2009 Lincolns.
