Nickel rolls

Found a 1947-s and a 1949 plain (nickels) today, both in fine (or thereabouts).
btw...how does a proof coin get into circulation ???
just wondering

 

Eh, it's all part of my "passive" collection efforts when funds don't permit a more "active" role in the hobby, kind of like roll searching. I figure what the heck? I'm always game for getting some copper back in change or finding a silver coin in a roll of halves, and once in a blue moon I'll get something else worth keeping.

I throw all of my change into the ashtray in my car, then empty the tray once it fills into a 5 gallon plastic water bottle. I figure a buck or two per day sure adds up after a couple of years. Copper goes into a canvas mint bag.

Edit: I like those "Take a Penny, Give a Penny" trays too!

 

has any one noticed the the boxes of nickels have better and moer keppers in them .
so far this year most cases have 3 or 4 silver nickels in them , i have found 5 1950 p so far, a 1902 liberty , a 1913 , 1920d buffalows 4 1938p 1938d 3 1939p and several 50s up with nice steps . i dont know if it is me or not but it seams that the pickens are better. hope all of you are having simular results.
i hope to be able to get back to more searching and here more . my mother passed away the 26 of dec and every thing has been hetic for months.

By people stealing from a collection and cashing it for face. Or Grandma buys little jimmy a proof set and he wants a piece of candy, all of a sudden he doesn't care how shiny that half dollar is.

 

Yeah, I guess that makes sense, Maybe I'll find one someday....Thanks !

 

I found a 1912 Lincoln in a roll at work the other day. I'm not completely sure, but that might be the oldest coin Iv'e found in circulation.

 

Keep looking for those goodies, times are tough and it's causing a lot of people to simply cash in hordes!

I have gotten Wheat cents out of circulation again recently.

 

finally got one van buren dollar. is it rare?...

 

No not to my knowledge

 

I just started coin roll hunting and so far i have found about a roll of 40% silvers and two or three 90%ers
my brother has been doing this for about a year now,picking up looses and buying box's,Hes found 10(maybe more) rolls for 40%s probably two or three rolls for 90s
a walker and i think either a barber or seated i really don't remember,oh and a few franklins.

 

Just (10 seconds ago) found a 1996 Roosie with a wicked die crack at about 11:00 on the reverse...my first solid die crack I've found in change = )

:edit: there are TWO die cracks!! one coming out of the uppermost flame.

And this is a great example of the starburst effect, as well....neat.

 

Well I've been searching rolls for 1.5 years now and have always been disappointed when I look on CT and see someone who walked into the bank asked for halves and to their surprise hit the mother load, blah blah blah.

Well today I walked into the bank asked for any fifty cent coins along with my normal deposite. To my surprise they had $57 dollars of them and the teller was happy that I got them because she was tired of them in the vault. She counted out $17 dollars of loose halves and gave them to me, no winners. When I got out into the car I peeked into one roll and saw 66 I smiled looked on the other end of the roll and another 66 was there. bigger smile. Looked at the next roll and they were nice and white I dumped them into my hand, a roll of 64's. By now I was grinning from ear to ear. Finally a good day of roll hunting.:high5::goofer::high5:

Working on a photo.

 

lets give this a try.

 

I went to a couple of banks today, and bought about $90 worth of halfs. No luck until i got to the last bank and asked for some and the teller next to the teller that i was talking to said that i searched all the halfs that the bank had the other day. the teller i was talking to originally said I have these! I looked at the edges from a distance and said i'll take the bottom one. It was a 67, it was the only find for the day but better than nothing. the old teller was mad and said " its only clad" i replied "yeah, but its till worth more than fifty cents". I think she was saving it for herself.

 

Aahhh, a silver witch! Only way to beat one of them is to become freinds with her enimies. There is one of those at a bank by me. Should have seen her face when another teller knowingly gave me a 90%er. HAHAHAHAHA

 

Since everyone says their having good luck with nickels thought i would get a box it coming Thursday. I also tried ordering a box the Lincolns and they said they could not order them like the could with the State quarters.

 

Sesarched a $50 bag of cents. Not musch luck, found 10 wheats but I did find a really cool 1962-D with blue-green toning.

 

No I'm 99% sure it's toning. I can't get a picture that shows the color so you'll have to take my word for it
