How do these specimens get into bank coin rolls?

I find a lot of 80 to 90 (or more) year old near mint coins while Coin Roll Hunting. I will post some here, but would like to see what others have found.

Here is a 1943 P Silver Jefferson that I may have posted recently.

Honestly.... I am betting that as we older collectors pass n that some of the younger family members don't know what they have had passed down to them and just spend them.

 

My 'Like' is more of me being in agreement with you than actually liking what you said. Because the reality is, I hate seeing that happen.

 

I was going to slow down with coin rolls from the bank. Then I felt obligated to rescue as many as possible. Here are a few more very nice CRH findS:

 

A lot of folks, like me, don't even look at dates on coins received in change. I don't receive much in change these days because of charging most things. When I receive it, I scarcely look at it before it goes in a plastic tube. When tube is full, coins go in a wrapper and then to the bank. Mike

 

I the past 6 months I have pulled one complete set of Jeffersons 1938 to 1959. This includes all the silver and the 50 D. There are 4 variations included: 1942 D over Horizontal D, 1949 D over S, 1954 S over D and the 1955 D over S. Other than the variations I have enough to make several sets.

I will continue trying to get my grandchildren interested.

Show some of the coins you guys and girls have found.

 

I don't see how to get youngsters interested in it.
When I was a kid, you could buy a Hershey's bar or a pack of baseball cards for a nickel. Kids don't even want change anymore and they leave it behind. They are not interested in it as it is practically worthless. They don't want it cluttering up their pockets. Bills they put up with. Everything is digital now even money.

 

Days of getting kids interested in coins via current circulation coinage are pretty much over. Average age of entry into the hobby has probably gone up quite a lot in the last few decades. I was in my late 30s. It’s in early adulthood or later that history, beauty, technology, PM interest in coins will get folks started. Plus that’s when they start to have a few bucks to put into the hobby.

Does not mean we shouldn’t have youth programs; we should. It’s great to get kids started however we can. But emphasis on current circulation coinage probably won’t work well.
