<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 1018708, member: 19456&quot;]Thanks so much guys! It was one of my best birthdays ever due mainly to the amazing amount of birthdway wishes I recieved!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the update now that I&#039;ve finished the rolls:</p><p>I finished the rolls yesterday. Wheat cents were surprisingly uncommon, yielding only 4. I normally get that many when I do 6 rolls. The 1944 was the oldest, there were two 1957 Ds and a 1956. There was however a 1959 with nearly full mint red remaining, so I was happy about that. Can&#039;t remember if it&#039;s an upgrade or not, I&#039;ll check that eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>2009s are common. The third design moreso. Of the 30 rolls it was not unusual to find 3 or more in a roll. Some of them were in really poor shape, they went into the spending jar. I did find one of the log splitter with a die crack on it...but it wasn&#039;t as nice as the one I recieved as a gift from a former board member here. I saved it anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the log splitters I got was completely brown already. I imagine that is what the majority of them will look like in 20 years. Going by color alone it would appear like the usual 1970s coins in circulation-about milk chocolate colored. </p><p><br /></p><p>More than a dozen Canadian cents were found ranging in age from 1957-2006. Most were as usual from the 1980s. </p><p><br /></p><p>The nickels, I did OK but the best was shown above. A nearly unciruclated 1968 D was pulled from the final nickel roll. It is certainly a big upgrade for my collection. Maybe a few other upgrades, I will check eventually. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing spectacular out of the dime rolls. Maybe an upgrade but not nessicarily. Ditto on the quarters. Did find a few mid 2000s that were in uncirculated condition so I saved them but I doubt they were upgrades. Time will tell. I did find a 2008 D Oklahoma quarter in the roll, it&#039;s the first time I&#039;ve gotten a D mint quarter from 08-current in a roll. My brother had previously purchased an uncirculated example for me so it wasn&#039;t that big a find, but still moderatly cool. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I had a great time going through all the rolls. I&#039;ve never done more than $10 or so at a time so doing $50...well...it took me three days! (I did spread it out some to prolong the fun). I didn&#039;t really get all that much for my collection, and even the stuff I saved may end up in the spending jar eventually, when I can get to my collection and sort them in, but I still have the prospect of spending the rejects eventually....the gift that keeps on giving!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
