I'm new to CRH and collecting just started getting interested about 4 months ago, Yesterday I was at the convenience store and I asked Linda to sell me a row of cents(penny's). When I got home I stuck that roll in my desk not thinking much about the coins, truthfully I been getting bored with CRH. Mostly MD and DDD not finding anything of value, any way I decided to open that roll of coins and I couldn't believe my eye's. What are the odds of finding all these Indian Head Cents in one roll, (should i buy a lottery ticket today) lol. Dont know alot about them other then what I found on the internet so I thought I would share my find. Ps. Sorry for the pics best I could do.
Just... Wow! Had you asked that question blindly, I would have said the odds are nil. What a nice grab!
Looks like someone put together a roll for the great American coin hunt, and the roll got set aside until you freed it from its paper restraint Nice find!
Are there any errors I should look for on these coins, from what I have found on the internet I don't believe any of these are key dates.
Great start to a collection indeed! Since it was at a convenience store, I feel like it was more likely someone stole grandpa's collection and spent it for a pack of smokes. I still have my doubts about this whole "great" American coin hunt lol.
I thought about that too. However, if it was grandpa's coins wouldn't you expect the entire roll to include IHC's or at least all collectibles? Not IHC's interspersed within commons.
@Handyman what WAS in the rest of the roll? @masterswimmer I still don't believe this Great American Coin Hunt really happened haha.
It's possible that these were Grandpa's coins taken for a smoke. These might have been extras/doubles from the collection that were not in a folder. Either way, GREAT find!
What a fantastic find. That is why we Coin Roll Hunt! Yes it gets boring at times but then, WHAM!!! Congrats
The odds are higher if you live in a small town that has fell on hard times , I hunt half dollar rolls from my local small town bank and find 90% silver once in a while . But that is a great start to any new collection congratulations . Happy hunting .
