Well this doesn't compare to the 46 wheats in one roll but today was looking through a cent roll and first came upon a 57 D. I am really happy when I just find one wheat cent but not 15 coins away was a 1911 s. Lets just say that this has been my best roll in quite some time!

 

I just searched $140 in nickel rolls. I found a 38-S in XF/AU, looks very nice for its age. One 44-P war nickel and I also found 16 others from the 40s and 24 from the 50s. This is my first search of nickels and I saved everything from the 30s -50s. I was interested in what other nickel searchers look for and save. Is there anything from the 60s-00s to specifically watch for?

 

Recently found my fourth(!) 1997 doubled ear cent, will have to post photos when time allows.

 

Just found a 1927 indian head nickel in a roll of nickels.

As far as wheat cents.... they are getting quite sparse!

 

Oh and it was in G-4 condition.

 

i got a 1918 out a penny roll at the bank.the funny thing is that the bank knew i collected,so the top penny was rusted.she switched it because of that.in that roll,there it was .LOL LOL LOL LOL

 

went through 4 rolls of cents yesterday- 1 1957D
i didn't get them at the bank but the lady i worked for had some rolls that were rolled back in 1989. she gave them to me for free. i was kinda dissapointed though. i was expecting indians and such. i also saved all the copper ones. there were also alot of BU 1989 cents too.

 

half way thru a box of nickles from the bank and have a complete 1940 - 1950 set

 

i just finished going through a bag of cents. found a lot of wheaties. several with cracked dies.lots of blistered ones.a 1984D-d/d on the date and m/m
sure did have a lot of fun.

No luck searching penny rolls this week, but I did get a 1999-S silver proof Delaware quarter from a soda machine at work about 2 weeks ago.

1918

its cool to find silver in a box of cents

 

Decided to order $1,000 in halves after taking a few months' break, and this is what I found:

1-Walking Liberty 1943
2-Ben Franklins 1954 and 1963
5-90% silver Kennedys 1964
117-40% silver Kennedys 1965-1969

Which makes them my best boxes ever- not too shabby!

 

Very nice AgCollector. I just went through $500 and only found 3 40% and a 2004-P. Still no Walkers, but I keep looking.

 

Thanks! Not sure where you're getting halves, but if it's possible for you, I would suggest visiting as many small-town banks as possible and just buying up all the halves they have (over time, if necessary) as that has consistently produced better results for me than ordering boxes. One bank in Iowa gave me two rolls of solid walking liberties, another bank in Maine gave me three solid rolls of mixed franklins / walking liberties... it doesn't happen often but when it does it makes your day!

 

Went through 32 rolls of Lincoln cents this is what I found

16 wheat cents earliest year 1916
426 copper cents
7 1970-s all large date
no varieties found worth keeping.

 

Wow, the gas expense kinda kills any profit tho.

You just have to sell silver on the way! Actually I moved mid-summer so it was a one-way trip. Just as well- I had been to every bank within 60 miles, some more than once.

 

I was fortunate the other day when I got sixty-three 40% Kennedy half dollars from $60 worth of rolls. Like others I get frustrated when the bank doesn't have any rolls when I want them. Sometimes it works out however. A few days ago a Wells Fargo bank had no half dollar rolls, but did have four "large dollars" (IKEs) and two loose half dollars. One of the half dollars was one I needed for a hole in my circulated Kennedy half dollar set.
I've found that bank branches in supermarkets and shopping centers sem to have more half dollar rolls than their stand alone counterparts. Any ideas why?
