Roll-searchers, post your results!

Maybe, but I don't think so. It doesn't look like it ever had squared rims, at least to me.

Its VERY difficult to find old Jeffersons in circulation with any steps at all.
That's why I mentioned the possibility of a proof coin.

 

Six wheat pennies along with five Canadian pennies were found from a bank box. Also, with verification please, I might have scored my first 1960 (P) small date Lincoln. Opinions welcomed!

 

Nope. Large date. Wah wah!

 

Question for those who hunt nickels;

For years, I've been keeping any nickel older than 1961, figuring that was the last year of the Whitman folder for the first set of Jeffersons. I've now filled up a decent sized jar of them (and still haven't filled out the Whitman).

What do you all do with the extra Jeffersons you've pulled from circulation that are pre-1961?

Thanx

 

Don't know actually but hold onto those War Nickels and Henning Nickels.
The rest? I would cash them in for something really nice and for you, something else nice.

 

Hey @afm1982 - over the last 30 years I have whittled down what I keep of the early Jeffersons. Originally, I kept them all, but now no more than 5 of each date/mint (except for the silver of course). My thought is if there are more than that out there, they aren't that uncommon. I keep the ones closest to mint state, and any errors or oddities go in a 2x2. The rest get rolled up and recycled. With Lincolns, I keep all of the pre 82s as they are worth more in copper than face, about 3¢ each, but nickels only have about 4¢ of copper.

Here are my nickels of all types that did not make the albums.

 

Another penny bank box revealed eighteen common date LWC.

 

Nickel Box #31:

2 silver war nickels, 1943-P & 1943-S; the 1943-S was an upgrade to what I had in the album!

Found 2x 2009-D also.

Other finds:
1941 x2
1948
1951
1951-D
1954-D x2
1956
1957
1958
1959-D x2

Still searching for 1939-S & 1944-S to finish this series.

 

Very nice on the upgrade @Troodon; still getting some silver!

 

Yet another bank penny box revealed twenty-seven common date LWC. Also, a 2000 WAM.

 

Hello. It’s been some years since I’ve posted anything. Got back into coin roll hunting and ran across this very interesting 2021 in a mixed roll. I’ve seen some postings on here for errors in the same general area for this year. None of them have shown though where the date was affected. Any thoughts on this? Thank you!

 

What do you all do with your impaired proofs? Went through some rolls of Quarters, and came across a 2019-S. It burns me to send it back out in circulation, but darn if I know what to do with it.

 

I don't know why but I save anything from 1964 and before. Those were old habits from 2 years ago that I must've carried into today. I think I've got over 800 of these from 1950 to 1964.

I guess to me, it's just cool to see a nickel that old. I especially like finding a 1939 in circulation, even lucking into a 39-S once.

 

For the longest time I saved them but was getting too many of them to have room to store, and nobody seemed interested in them, so I eventually just cashed them in (except for the spare silver war nickels, which I saved).

Should I find any that reasonably counts as a "key" I would still save that though.

 

I will always save any of these I manage to find, and found quite a few so far! Even once found a 2015-S (Louisiana) business strike quarter (S-minted business strikes, issue by issue, are technically rarer than any given 2019-W or 2020-W!).

For me these go in 2x2s and into the separate album I have for US coins I don't already otherwise have albums for, This is the same book I also save other medals, tokens, and quite a few squashed pennies in.

 

The highlights from my latest nickel bank box produced one war year, one 2009-P, and thirty 2024-D. The early decade revealed five each from the 40’s and 50’s, and one 1939.
