<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jFoote, post: 1022760, member: 27771&quot;]Hello.&nbsp; Completely new to coin collecting here.&nbsp; I just randomly had the idea to go to my bank and get a bunch of penny and nickle rolls.&nbsp; Of course, with the idea of picking out the oldies. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I picked every penny and nickle from 1969 and older. I wound up with the following results</p><p><br /></p><p>70 rolls of pennies:</p><p>110 pennies were 1960-1969</p><p>7 were 1950-1959</p><p>5 were wheat pennies (&#039;46-&#039;58)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>20 rolls of nickles:</p><p>28 were 1960-1969</p><p>4 were 1950-1959</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know I didn&#039;t get any amazing finds but I gave it a good starting effort for the hunt eh? :yes:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway... after picking all these out I dug around researching value-- discovered I&#039;m no where near finding anything valueable. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; but it&#039;s all in fun and I&#039;m collecting what was rare either way.&nbsp; &nbsp; But in looking at values I notice there are TONS of exceptions like certain places they are minted or specifc years giving value to coins that aren&#039;t neccessarily 200 years old...&nbsp; Is there any site with a list of what to look for when picking through rolled coins?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also I noticed 1959 and older is much more rare than 1960-69.&nbsp;&nbsp; However that 60-69 are still pretty uncommon compared to all years older.&nbsp; Would I wind up looking back and being glad I kept all the 60-69s and rolled em up some time in the future possibly?&nbsp; Or could I just be wasting time and space with those?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
