Roll-searchers, post your results!

i just got a '39 out of a roll too! it was in the same roll as the '27 buffalo.

the roll was mostly '90's. but there were the '20 and '27 buffalo. and i kept 5 Jeffersons(not sure why). the '39, '49, '50, '66, '73-D, and '73-P.

i think i might starting a set of Jeffersons. they are not very expensive and feel they got nowhere to go but up. so if i don't get them in the near future i may be kicking myself, if the prices rise. other then the war nickels(still not a lot of money) the only other key is the 50-D?

o well, i won't ask questions in this thread, its not what it is for. i can do all the research i need, using the search.

i am going to go finally try the banks downtown tomorrow in search of halves. i hope i have some luck, i have $500, just waiting for some rolls! i will even open an account. i just wish the 6 banks in walking distance, had them.

anyone ever try them check cashing places like ace?? i know they take rolled change, and are basically like a bank with there debit cards...

I found all my Jeffersons in circulation except for the 1938 S that I bought a week ago to complete the album.

 

I have gotten boxes of pennies from check cashing places but they needed to order them in advance. So , like other financial institutions , you basically still need to establish some sort of relationship. By the way , the boxes I got from the check places were better than the those I got from BofA.

 

Over the weekend:

1 war Nickel (44P) out of 50$
1 Dime (64) out of 250$
8 40%, 2 90% out of 9$ in halves

 

Went bank-hoppin saturday. About $300 in CWR and loose halves, got 3-40%'s. One bank I was at one teller went to the back to get some halves for me and the other teller asked me what kinds of coins I collect. I said basically anything, so she grabs some coins from her tray and said she's been waiting to give these to somebody. Turns out it was 4 silver quarters (43,59,63,64). Nice teller and not a bad purchase for a buck. Made those couple hours worthwhile.

 

Went through 3 coin jars at home, going to start looking through bank rolls again later this week.

Surprisingly in the 3 small change bowls at my house I found:

1-1957 Wheat
16 Coppers (1959-1981)
A couple of hole fillers for my cents/state quarters/nickels

and

a 1962 dime ! Haven't found a silver dime in well over a year

 

Went thru a $25 box of cents today...

Box of $25 Cents today.

found:
16 Wheaties
Oldest was a 1928

6 Canadians
Oldest was a 1957

Right now I'm more or less just stock piling Wheaties for Pennies and anything pre-1960 for Nickels. I will buy some Whitman books soon, and start filling in the slots!

 

I sorted through 8 rolls of halves, 1 dimes and 5 rolls of cents today, I grabbed a few pre 1982 cents. Zip on the rest.

 

Two wheats today (1941 and 1953-D)
And a BU 1976 quarter. Not amazing but dont see to many with no nicks on them.

 

Did you a favor and determined spot price for all of that...

$2,863.73 at a cost of $391.15. Not bad ROI, eh?

Did $1k myself today, first box was ok, 3 40s and a '64, with a no FG and a DDO, plus a 2002, 2005 and 2006. Second box sucked with only a 2003 and a 2004.

$550 in rolled customer halves got nothing $20 loose in a plastic baggie 1 40%er

 

Halfway through a box of dimes and found a 1950 Canadian.

 

I know this doesn't count as a roll search but

I got this in change last week

 

Very cool, Jello!!

 

Went to the bank today to get some cash for the boxes of half dollars that are coming tomorrow and they had 2 rolls of half dollars so I grabbed them. I found a 1966,1967, and a 1969 D not bad for a few minutes of searching.

 

Those are the kind of finds that make pocket change fun !

 

I roll of wheat cents bought on eBay and 3 more rolls of cents from bank that I had left over from yesterday. ZIPPY ! Absolutely Nada ! This is the 4th week I think that I have been skunked.

 

Got $1.50 in halves and got a 2010 P!

 

finished the box and found a 1961 Canadian silver dime and an xf 1936 merc.
