Coin Roll search results

I decided to do $20 in cents today. I'd look specifically for wheats and other odd coins, as well as separate and hoard the copper cents 1959-1982



Out of $20, $4.86 was copper cents....for almost a 1-4 ratio. I put what i could in rolls and squirreled it away.


I found 5 modern candian cents as well as a 1958 and 1963 Canadian cent which i will keep.

On to the wheat cents.

Not a bad take. Pretty much could have taken care of the 1940's if i was filling an album. This lot, plus previous finds gives me pretty much every year and mint wheat cent from 1940-1958 give or take a S mint here and there. I REALLY need 1910-1939 wheats. I already have a 1909 (which was not found in a roll but one my grandfather collected a long time ago), those two 1926's and a 1935. Other than that i can't find anything from the teens or 20's and 30's in rolls.


Two of the best was the 1958 which was a bright copper color almost like new. Another curious find was a 1956 cent that was plated with something to give it a silver tone. On the obverse is a goo of some sort that i wish i could take off. Unsure if it's PVC as it looks like a melted plastic.

Another curious find was a 2005 cent with a "+3.50" sticker on it.

I'll post some pics in a few

Here's trhe plated wheat cent. Unsure what's on the obverse but i'd like to clean it off as it's a nice looking coin which looks UNC. I know the plating actually kills the value, but i still like it. Any ideas how to clean it?

No idea what the sticker on the 2005 cent means. I took it off and just chucked it back with the other zincs.

 

It was a peice of tape. I managed to life the corner and peel most of it off, but a few spots of glue remained as well as the tell-tale green color of PVC damage.

Should i acetone dip it or leave it alone??

I don't want to spend it really. It is after all a wheat cent.

 

just leave it alone, and don't spend it. i have about a dozen wheats with pvc. i just leave it alone. this may sound stupid, but is pvc contagious? if you have a cent with pvc, will it spread to another cent and give it pvc?

 

I wonder if the plating will protect it??

Maybe i'll just take a chance. Not much to lose right? Looks like this coin was taken out of whatever it was in and circulated for a while. The edges of the rims have the plating worn away and you can see the copper coming through. Everything else is still plated and looks fresh from the mint. Too bad

 

Take a look at my pics. Someone plated the '56 wheatie so that it resembled a '43 steel cent. When i cracked open the roll and it fell out, i saw the obverse and thought it was a '43 steel cent.

No idea what type of plating it is though.

 

It's a bad photo then. The tape is only on the obverse. The reverse was not taped. The cent is plated on both sides and is a bright silver color. It's the one on the left side in the above photo. The right one is a normal wheat. It almost resembled an 1943 steel cent in color. I'll try to get a better pic of it later on.

It's actually a very nice looking coin other than the glue left over by the peice of tape. I'll take my chances and get it off.

 

Here are some better pics. Maybe you can notice it better here. You can see on the 3rd shot that the coin has circulated for a while as some of the plating has worn away and you can see the copper coming through.

 

while watching the bears game i ve been going thru rolls. just found a tweny cent piece from Singapore dated 1985. it was in a machined wraped nickel roll which also had a 1939 nickel in it. first Singapore coin for me.

 

WHat are the results of looking through the nickel rolls?? I've been meaning to try nickels out but i don't want to search through 20-30 dollars worth to find one nickel from 1955. I am trying to put together a 38-64 circulated jefferson set.

Usually $20 in cents gives me 20-30 wheat cents.

WHat are the average finds in other rolls?

 

last week half dozen silver nickels and 1912 liberty head. its a hit or miss has with anything. i usally get about $40 every 3 days its only 20 rolls. i enjoy it.

 

I found one of those plated jobs about 5 yrs ago in a golf course parking lot,it was part of a key chain.
I have been searching cent rolls for wheats for about 1 1/2 yrs now and have acumulated almost 6 rolls,
many different dates and mint marks but nothing from the teens.

 

I've made almost 2 rolls of wheats from $60 of rolls. It's kinda why i like searching through cents. Not a huge deal finding a wheat cent...but your chances are a lot better in cent rolls.


No indians...yet

 

I agree i like to get about $30 worth of cents too. just last week i found 3 indians in one roll only 3 i ever got. cents are great you can got a lot of rolls for not a ton of money
