Roll-searchers, post your results!

Just got back from the bank with rolls of Quarters, Nickels & Pennies. Searched the nickels and found some interesting oldies. Too many rolls of pennies to do now so I'll do them tomorrow. Thought I'd do the 7 rolls of quarters and see what I could find. Low and behold! all rolls are Arizona Statehoods! I've been searching and recycling them thru, but what would you do with these? I bought 2 rolls of New York bank rolls back in 2001. Wasn't recycling them back then nor seriously collecting. Do I sell them? search them for errors or just hold on to em as is? Help!!!!!

My dad told me a teller at a local bank had a special coin for me, so I went there this morning. She wouldn't be in until the afternoon shift, so I went to may appts. and started hitting banks on the way back. I found 2 2003A F block $2 star notes, 71,72 and 74 Ike dollars, 2X 1967 half dollars, a 1964-d half dollar and one bank even gave me a bank bag!. Then I went back to the bank with the special coin... a 1964 quarter in at least AU. She even knew it was silver and held onto it for me .

 

nice haul Noost! Love the stars and the silver!!!

 

Nice ikes noost!

8 Canadian, 1964 - 1995

A dozen rolls of the new penny with the cabin on the back, all uncircuilated. I kept 1 roll.

About a dozen or so with various defects. Not sure if they are from the mint or damaged along the way. Will look closer into these. Going to move onto nickles next week.

I found a1930 Buffalo nickel 1951 -s 1938-D clipped 2000 planchet and a lamination error
And I found 9 silver dimes! best haul so far from a bag from the bank :smile

 

Please explain the "bag from the bank" concept. Are these mixed coins from people turning them in? I get boxes and rolls, but never have gotten a "bag."

 

found 2 1959 lincoln memorials first year of the design so not a bad day from my 2 rolls im getting 28 more rolls tommorow will post my results

 

I just went through $500 of quarters from a friend's business. I found:
9 DC quarters
6 Puerto Rico
2 Guam
One 1992 10 Pence. I believe this is Brit and made from copper/nickel from the looks of it. It is about the size of a quarter.....never seen one of these before...

And One Alaska P. This is significant because it was my last that I needed to fill my State Quarters Dansco. This is for you Dad!

 

Let me be the first to say, congrats on the Dansco completion!

 

Box of half dollars tonight:

1 2002 d
1 AU 1979.....incredible shape!
1 68 40% silver

Hey, I wasn't shut out!!

 

Have I searched these before?

Do you guys ever "mark" any of the coins you search to know if you are getting them back or if you are truly searching coins that you have not already searched? Speaking about boxes. I mean if you start roll searching how long before it is likely you are seeing the same coins again? Assuming you turn them in a different bank than you order them from of course.


Thanks,

Erin

 

The bank I use has a free coinstar machine and it sorts the coins into bags. I can purchase $50 cents, $200 nickels, $500 dimes, $500 quarters and $1000 half dollars i could also buy $1000 bag of dollars. There are 3 banks in town that I use but only one of them will sell the bags to me. When I am done sorting through a bag of coins I just take my coins back to another branch that won't sell the bags to me and run it through their machine.

 

Four log splitters today - all philly, first 09 coin found in circulation.

 

My latest search, $500 in dimes. Yield 2 1964, 1 1947s and 1 1968 (50% silver) Canadian dime.

 

I thought silver in Canada stopped in 67?

 

Nope, '68 was the transition year from silver to nickel. They made 70M that were 50% silver 50% copper and 170M that were 99.9% nickel in 68.
