monday roll searching 33 rolls of pennies i know why 33 funny thing my bank mistakingly had accepted 3 each of 11 wrapped rolls so i ask for 30 and got it payed to go at a busy time i guess 20 of them were hand wrapped and the other 13 machine wrapped well in my rolls searching this far i find i have better luck with the machine wrapped so i search them first and this time i got nothing from them except a 1989 canadian i focused my attention to the customer wrapped rolls thinking i would get nothing boy was i wrong i got a 1955 sf mint perfect like new condition penny im still new to this hobby but i know double dies are worth something this one wasnt one but it is my first sf mint coin with the luck i have had roll searching these 4 months since i started i have my 1907 indian penny which started this hobby a hand full of wheats including the steelie got the 55 sf and 55 d going back to look for the philly 55 of course my favorite is my 1907 indian cause it was in my first rolls received as a gift which was bizarre because it wasnt planted it was just there on my birthday

 

That, my friend, is the longest run-on sentence I've ever encountered :bigeyes:

 

From $ 20 in nickels this week:
1940
1941
1947
1948
....Nothing much to brag about. I notice a lot of people are finding cabin cents. Around here (North Central ILL) there seem to be plenty of formulative years in circulation, but I haven't seen a single cabin cent yet

 

lol that is a long sentence if it was an academic forum i would not be here i am a coin man not an english professor but also i am new to the hobby is the 1907 indian a good penny is 1955 sf penny a good penny in terms of value or investment i got them at face value from rolls did i do well

 

anytime you get an IHC for face value it's pretty cool!!!

 

king:

Yes, ANY indian head cent is a nice coin (well, unless corroded beyond recognition) ESPECIALLY at face value. And, I keep every wheat back cent I find as well. Nice going, keep it up.

If you are going to continue, you might want to get the cherrypickers guide or a book called Strike It Rich With Pocket Change. They will help you look for error coins while you roll search.

One more thing, the period is located on the first row (closest to the space bar) on the left side (hehehehe, couldn't resist).

 

thanks for lettiing me know that it was cool wish it would happen again but that time i figure little billy who received the coin from grandpa gave it away for candy someplace so ill probably never find its older 1906 or younger 1908 brother lol

 

My english teacher would have had a heart attack

 

I didn't know when I could stop for breathing!

 

My mother is an English teacher, which is why I almost committed suicide halfway through.

 

Just got back with $50 in pennies $25 from one bank $25 from another started on them and found a commonwealth of the bahamas 1 cent. I know it is probably worth only a penny but the Star Fish in A/U B/U looks cool I can't wait to show the nephew he will love it. It is the first one I have ever seen too. Also 4 Wheats in fisrt 15 rolls not too bad. Kent

 

First time I have ever seen rolls like this

I believe these are the real shotgun rolls. Alas, no silver.

 

Bought $25 in pennies and $50 in halves. Pickings were slim on these two batches. Haven't searched much this week, going to buy the same tommorrow after I cash these in.

Pennies:
Wheat - 37, 45S, 46
One nice looking AU 1964
One - 1998 wide AM

Halves:
Found two 72D halves where the FG is barely there. One the F is completely missing while the G can be seen with some magnification. On the other both letters are like this. So they are not quite missing but not quite there either.

 

Searched 10 bankrolls of pennies today, got 5 wheats about 10 1960's-1970's w/ bright luster and better than 1/3 of all were pre 82. I think a good day! :high5:

 

I found another 1945 nickel yesterday (silver). I am trying to see if I can fill the first Jefferson book from circulation. There are quite a few out there yet, but there are a few really tough dates...I have found the '50 D, and a number of silver dates, but still haven't found the 38 & 39 D and S, 43 D, 44D, 49 S, 50 P, 51 S, 55 P and the 58 P. Guess I'll just keep looking.

 

Is it possible to find silver in Half rolls from the Fed? Teller at bank says no, but I knew someone here would know for sure. Thanks Kent

 

Yes and they don't come from the fed, they come from armored car companies. Just goes to show you that (some) tellers don't know as much as they think they do.

 

Found a 1940 wheat and a 1947 nickel at the cash register at work (but the nickel fell out of my pocket somewhere, didn't really need it anyway)
