I like searching pennies because wheats are still common enough that you'll likely find some when searching old rolls.
Last night was slow at work, but I found a gem, a 1946-D first year Roosevelt silver dime, and also a 1959 nickel. The dime is in great shape. I'm...
Pretty much since I was a small child. My parents had a big box of wheat pennies (my dad still has it and is giving it to me) and other old coins...
Tonight was a half dollar night. I found 1959-D and 1960-D pennies, a 1941-P nickel, a 1979-D dollar coin, and NINE half dollars: two from 1967, a...
I worked the graveyard shift, and I found a 1954-P wheat penny, a 1953-D nickel, a 1972-P Ike dollar coin, and a 1976-D bicentennial Ike dollar.
Not that a 1970 penny is worth more than a few cents, even in UNC condition.
I think a lot of it has to do with the financial situation. At 2 am when you're broke and out of cigarettes or beer you can't exactly take those...
I'm in Oklahoma.
I've found about 10 '60s pennies in really good shape in the last week. I thought they were newish pennies until I flipped them over and saw the...
Tonight's haul: a really nice Series 1985(!) $100 bill, Series 2003A $1 bill, 1960-D nickel, really shiny nice pennies from 1959 (D), 1961 (P) and...
I've found that hand rolled rolls are the best to search. I've found everything from a British penny to Canadian King pennies to 4 wheats...
Last night I opened a roll of pennies and went through it as I always do, and I pulled 4 wheats out of it, including a 1918. The wheats have been...
Tonight's finds: 1973-D half dollar; 1969 Canadian dime; really shiny 1961-P, 1968-D, and 1970-D pennies; and wheat pennies: 1916-P, 1944-P,...
The coin that makes me mad is the 1965 quarter. I find them ALL the time and they usually look old. They're the bane of my existence. Only one...
I find pre-1960 nickels all the time. Sometimes as old as 1940. Nickels are one of the first coins I ever collected.
I'm in the US. I accepted it as a quarter because I assume that is what the person thought it was.
A couple of days ago, somebody spent this well-worn veteran. It's a little bigger than a quarter. I found a 1910 wheat penny a couple of days...
I also found this one a couple of days ago: [IMG] [IMG]
At my local coin shop, there is a box of foreign coins, priced at 8 for $1. What a bargain! I bought a few dollars worth of these rarely-seen...
Last night it wass a shiny '58 wheat, a '77 Ike, and an '80 SBA.
