<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman_Ben, post: 809337, member: 9923&quot;]Joe&#039;s right, but your more likely to find an indian head cent in a box of pennies than you would be to find a barber dime or a barber quarter in a box of dimes or quarters, so if your looking to find late 19th century, early 20th century coinage in rolls of coins, I&#039;d suggest roll searching pennies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, pennies are the most fun to roll search because there is still so much in circulation that is worth saving compared to the other denominations.&nbsp; (i.e. pre-82 copper pennies since a roll of pre-82 copper currently has a melt value of 98.95 cents, which is almost double it&#039;s face value.&nbsp; Personally, I&#039;m surprised they&#039;re not disappearing from circulation faster than they currently are given the percentage above their face value that the melt value is.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Today&#039;s market for copper pennies kinda reminds me of the silver market 10 years ago when silver was $3 to $4 per ounce and nobody was buying it.&nbsp; Sorry if I got alittle off topic, but I feel that the copper pennies are today what the pre-64 silver coinage was in the 70&#039;s (i.e. people are dumping their pre-82 copper pennies at face value because of the recession today just like people were buying gas with pre-64 silver coinage in the 70&#039;s because of the shortage and pre-64 silver coinage was all that was accepted by the only gas stations that had any gas left).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, sorry if I got alittle off topic, but I feel it ties in well with the reason I feel it&#039;s best to roll search pennies above any other denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
