I was having a skunky day at work until I opened up a roll of nickels and found not only a 1956-P nickel but also a 1936-P buffalo nickel! This is the second or third buffalo I have pulled out of a roll in the last couple of months. I also found a 1949-D nickel with that beautiful '40s patina. Here's my buffalo, which is in good shape.

 

I'm new to the coin collecting thing last night was my second search I went thru halfs last night an found 6 40% an the first search was dimes I found a 1943 penny

 

I went through $40 of cents that a lady cashed in that the teller saved for me. I found 11 wheaties and a 1896 Indian head! Happy hunting!

 

2 boxes of halves. Box #1 - 1-40%, Box #2 was a skunk. Came across an Ecuadorian 50 centavos coin, apparently made out of steel. Finally caught up on the boxes the banks were behind on last week.

 

Box of Nickels: 20 pre1960, no canadians, no silver, no buffs. Meh.

Happy to be hunting though.

Just got done going through my first box of cents.

The box was split approximately 76% Copper-Plated Zinc/24% Copper Alloy.

8 Canadian cents:

• 1965
• 1973
• 1974
• 1977
• 1984 x2
• 1998
• 1999 (red)

12 Wheat cents:

• 39-P
• 44-D
• 45-P
• 45-D
• 46-D
• 48-D
• 50-D x2
• 51-S
• 52-D (some red)
• 56-D (some red)
• 58-D

These three beauties:



And, the oldest coin I have ever found in circulation, a 1900 Indian Head cent in Fine condition:



In addition, I found many nice upgrades for my Lincoln Cent Circulation set, and I'm only missing two coins for a complete Lincoln Memorial date/mintmark set: 1959-P and 1968-S.

But it's finding something like the 1900 Indian Head that keeps me opening roll after roll. This is the joy of numismatics, in my opinion. Sure, I could buy hundreds of those coins on eBay, and in it's present condition it's value is less than $5, but the fact that I found it means it will always have a special place in my collection.

 

An IHC on your first box...Way to go!
