Newer D mints are pretty uncommon in MA. I have a 50 states quarts ambum i'm trying to fill. I have all the P mints but i am missing a good chunk of D mints...in fact i'm missing most D mints.

Anytime i get a D mint statehood quarter in change it's almost as good as getting a wheat cent or a pre 1960 nickel for me

 

penny rolls

I was going thru rolls of cents. I weigh each roll if its 132 grams (about ten pre 83 coppers) or less I don't open and return. Ten rolls were all 155Grams In red hand wrapper"155 Grams is 50 Copper pennies". I was excited the end had a nice AU (hoping for all old Wheaties) Only 3 Wheats and handful of mostly 1978 AU/BU. I was as trilled as when you open a roll of halves and see mostly Silver an not much copper.

 

Try getting either one in Canada, yet, I still do. They usually come in bunches though, but I get a fair number of D mint quarters in Toronto. I imagine with the dollar as strong as it is here in Canada, I'm going to start seeing more US change, as there is no incentive to keep it until your next trip to the US anymore.

 

went through $40 in nickels from the bank while on the drive down to tenessee and found- 1942, 1958D(2), 1948D, 1957D(3), 1938,1941,1948, 1940(2),1959D,1954D,1949S, and a 1946. pretty good i think for 20 rolls. i also found a very worn 1990D nickel. it looks like a pre 1960 nickel. one of the 1958D nickels is in very nice shape also. i was suprised to find a 1938 nickel! too bad its not a buffalo! the 1942 nickel is not a war nickel . i also found 17 2005 nickels, and 46 1960-1965 nickels. i also found 1970S(3) and 1969S(2). pretty good nickel searching!:hammer:

A 1943 steel cent (AU),1893 IHC (G-4) in $5 worth of cent rolls from the bank

 

I've been bank roll searching for the last two weeks... so far my bank hasn't had any halfs in rolls, just loose in the vault. I've bought all they had, about $130.00 worth. Nothing found before 1971. For which I now have about 60 of those coins. And about 40 Bicentennials... All D's, only found 1 "P" and it was pretty beat up...

Just read something about a reversed reverse on the 1776-1976? Anybody enlighten me on that?

Searched through $40.00 in pennies. Found about 10 Wheats, one was a plain 1909, pretty bad shape, but I needed it. And found 2 Canadian pennies. I, also, am pulling out the coppers and saving them. I thought I was being weird until I saw here that there others doing it too... :kewl:

Now I think I'll get a few rolls of nickels tomorrow and continue the fun! :thumb:

 

Doggone! The wife just cleaned out an old pocket book and brought me the change. In it was a 1945 P! My first war nickel! That made my day!

 

I've never heard of that...are there any online articles about it?

I've gone through nearly $700 in halves in the past week and those bicentennials are very common. But yesterday I opened a roll that had 4 beautifully lustrous BU bicentennials (D). I kept one of them...this is the first time I've seen uncirculated ones in rolls.

 

I saw something about it towards the begining of this thread... Something about the building being reversed...

 

I've been doing it since last fall. I pull out all the copper cents from my pocket change or when i roll search.


I have about $35 face value in copper cents, which is about $70 melt in copper.


Too bad i can't bring em anywhere for melt value....yet

 

key word

hopefully soon!

 

thats alot of halves dj! i has a job, and i wouldn't even have that kind of money! as for the copper cents, i think the melting law will be dropped in the next 5 or 6 years and scrap yards will buy them by the pound. thats what i think will happen. i too save any copper cents i find.

 

Found my first Indian Head cent last night.

I have been searching through rolls of pennies for a couple years now...at least $10.00 every two weeks. I have found plenty of wheats and other interesting coins but always hoped to find, for me, the HOLY GRAIL. I have heard of other finding an Indian Head cent in circulation of through a roll, but it had nevr happed to me until last night. I was just starting my search through $20.00 of pennies and on the first roll it just popped out. At first I thought it was a scratched up lincoln because my eyes were not expecting to see the indian head on the obverse. I was pschyed to find out that it was a 1906 Indian head cent. It is in fair condition so it is not worth a lot, but to me it will go in a special place in my collection as the first indian head I found by myself. Keep Searching. I am off to the bank now.

 

I've never found an IH cent in rolls.


Oldest cent i've found is a 1926 in a roll, but i got a 1915 in change so i guess that counts as a roll find since the cashier opened it


Oldest nickel is a 1940

Oldest quarter is a 1941 that i got in change. I guess that would also be considered a roll find

 

Got a real nice 1957 D nickel today, it is almost has the proof luster. It looks almost uncirculated! Faint steps. Don't know where this one was hidding all the years.

 

I don't either, at least at one time. What I do is I buy $140 worth from a certain bank every day. The next day I'll go to another certain bank to trade the non-silver halves back for cash, then I go back to the first bank to get more. In this manner I do my $700 per week in halves.

 

oh! btw, nice find with the inidan head!
