Roll-searchers, post your results!

You can look at it as gambling that's impossible to lose at - maybe you'll hit the jackpot, maybe you'll find a silver/proof/key date or two, but even if you don't, the common date coins you have are still worth what you paid for them. I might never buy another scratch ticket again - why bother when you can get a roll of half dollars, and just maybe there's $200 worth of silver in there?

$4 Halves from teller tray: Skunk

$80 CWR Nickels:13 pre-1960 keepers, including a 43-P war nickel. Oldest find was a 39 from Philly.

I agree with Theshoegazer, I'll take my chances finding a treasure in a box of coins over a trip to the casino just about every time... Now if the bank would set up a buffet we'll be all set.

 

I got 9 rolls of Jeffersons from my bank to practice grading. One of the rolls turned out to be absolutely stunning nearly proof-like coins.

But wait. Where's the steps? Where's the pillars? Where's Jefferson's hair?

I have a whole roll of super-shiny AG's. I hope they had fun cleaning them.

 

Just pulled this clash. Visible even with the fuzzy phone photos.

 

Not a roll find, but should share anyway.. Four type B quarters. Three from "junk" silver, one from a mint set. The three junk silver B quarters were a '56, '57, and a '58, and the mint set one a '59.

 

Getting 'skunked' is just part of the coin roll hunting game. I've been skunked for 6 months on silver but have found two 43-P war nickels this month, one in a BWR and the other in a CWR. What you find over time is what really matters and makes us want to keep doing it. Thanks for your post.

 

Hit up about 10 banks looking for halves, got maybe $50 in loose halves & customer rolls - nothing of note until the final bank, when out of $2 I found a great looking 1967.

Another bank had a couple of Eisenhowers, and I got excited when I saw the rims:

Although upon closer inspection it looks to be a plated clad. Heads looks normal - http://imgur.com/Xq3QSop,sHJSrFS,UbqwBzn#1... and tails looks plated - http://imgur.com/Xq3QSop,sHJSrFS,UbqwBzn#0

 

I was reading in one of the other threads where a guy was stating that he usually finds approximately 1 wheat in every 3 cent rolls. After I got done going through my penny rolls tonight, I was thinking about replying to him that I hadn't found a wheat in 20+ rolls. Needless to say I was getting kinda frustrasted. Well, going through the last half of my last roll tonight, I noticed a coin that at first glance I thought was just a Canadian out of the corner of my eye. Upon closer inspection, I discovered it was a 1903 Indian Head!! This is easily the oldest cent I have found while coin roll hunting. Although, I've only been doing it for ~5 months maybe.

 

$1000 bag of Halves - 1964 x3, 1967, 2007D, and a 2014P high relief from the 50th anniversary set. No idea why someone would deposit that!

$27 loose Ikes - skunk

$1000 dollars - 2005P Sacagewea, 2012D Cleaveland 1st term, 2013P McKinley, 2015D Truman, 2013S Theodore Roosevelt proof

 

Just found this cud tonight. Not listed, so going to send it to the cud guy. Second cud I've found roll searching.

 

My pick up bank handed me another brick of 2015-P cents this week, so not much copper mining this week, but it's another box on the pile for "what if" searching or maybe selling whole for a small premium down the road. I've got $80 CWR nickels I'm going to try to go through while the laundry is doing its thing this morning... so there's always hope of a good find there.

 

After two exceptional weeks of CRH halves, I'm back to normal: two boxes halves- 1- 40%(1967), 1- proof (2004-S), and 7- NIFC. Oh, well, I guess all things return to the norm.

 

Went to the bank to see if they had any halves and I came out with a no motto 1935 G Douglas Dillon silver certificate and a 1974 D Ike

 

200 in halves ---Skunk

i thing the person who turned them in already went through them mostly 1971's his initials were on each roll

 

$500 Halves - beat-up 2004P

 

$80 CWR nickels and not a hint of silver. Had a total of 12 "keepers" ranging from 1939-1959, all circulated or worse.

 

Hit up 4 banks looking for halves today. Two didn't have any, one gave me 4 rolls of skunk. The last bank, though, had 60 bucks in CWR.

Someone's grandparents must have died.

96 1965-1969 halves in great condition

3 1964's

And last but not least, 2 BU 1970 D's.

I guess it goes without saying that this was my best find ever...

 

2nd box of pennies
1998 wide am
16 wheats
5 S mint marked
7 Canadian
10 2009
One Lincoln log with an raised line through Lincoln. What type off error would this be it is raised?

 

i believe that is a die crack?

 

went thru 12,000 wheat pennies and got a 1912d and 1922d and 3 rolls of 1943's. I now have 226 rolls of wheats by date and mint mark.
