Whet and looked and I found that I have a whole jar full of those moon quarters. Looks more like a "time warp" to me, but if they want to call it a moon, so be it.

 

What I found

I went to the bank and bought 16 rolls of pennies (800 pennies) and a roll of nickels.
I found 2 2004 nickels (P and D)
3 1964-D nickels
2 wheat pennies (1944,1958)
and 11 canadian pennies.

The best find I ever made was a 1963-D silver quarter and a 1958 silver dime, all in change.

 

Well yesterday I got 2 New Buffalo Nickels and no errors on them. Must be "rare".

 

hahahahahahahahahaha

 

Went yesterday and got 60 in nickels and 10 in pennies. In just the nickel rolls I found a 1939P, 43P and a few others on the edge being worth keeping. Also one type of the nickel roll containers was strange the person who rolled them did not care they were cheating the bank. In those 10 rolls I so far have found 6 or 7 dimes and 10 pennies. One of these pennies was a 1944 Wheat Penny. I have lost about 1.50 on these rolls!

In the penny rolls I have gained 1 or 2 cents! I found a 1944 Wheat Penny in these as well.

 

Update--
found a 1946 canadian penny :

 

Obsolete Finds

Over the past two days I have searched $100 in pennies, $50 in halves, and $400 in nickels. Have found over 40 wheaties, mostly from 1940-1958 PD, but including a 1953S, 1954S, 1936, 1923, and 1918, along with a rusty 1943-D steelie from reject slot at bank counting machine. Also found an 1891 Indian in G4 and a Fine+ but corroded 1881 Indian Head Cent, my third oldest coin ever found in circulation. The 1891 was found in a bank roll while the 1881 was found in the reject slot at a bank counting machine. Also found over 75 nickels from 1955 and earlier including six 1939s, a 1938, a 1938-D, and 5 wartime nickels including a 1945-S in Fine. Also found a dateless Buffalo. A 1951 Franklin Half was found in a bank roll along with a 1967 clad half.

 

should have said 56 not 46

 

I found a 1919 S Wheat penny in well-worn condition. And I also recently found a penny from 1898! Oldest penny I'd ever gotten back as change.

 

I was going through some rolls of halves Thursday night and found a 1947 Australian penny. It was very close to being the exact same size as a Kennedy half.

 

Wow.... that's a cool find! Where do you pick up rolls of halves? I tried at one of the banks nearby, and they had NONE! Do I try an older bank or something? This bank that I went to is only about 4 or 5 years old....

Well, haven't had too much of a chance to look through coins lately - I just started a full-time job on a construction site for my father, but I went through some nickels, pennies, and 10 rolls of dimes in my spare time. Found:

1942-D Nickel
1944-S War Nickel
1910-P Wheatie
5 1959-P/D Memorial Pennies (there's something about '59... I save ALL the '59 pennies I find!)
1946-P Roose. Dime
1942-P MERCURY DIME!!! WOW!

So, I got freakin' LUCKY AS SIN this week!

Our two banks always have JFK halfs, and they are happy to let me have them.

I go through them, and then try and spend them rather than give them back to the banks.

 

i'm ging to have to try this going to the bank and getting rolls thing. everyone seems to find something neat in there!! do you ask for any roll in particular?

i did find a barber dime in my cashiers till once a few years ago. but my dad has it.

 

Cait,

I ask for rolls of half dollars at the bank. But as some people have pointed out, many banks don't have a single roll on hand. At one branch, the teller didn't even know half dollars existed and thought I must have meant dollar coins. When I find them, I usually find about one Franklin per every 3 rolls, and many of the Kennedys are in pretty good shape because half dollars don't circulate much anymore. What I need to find is a very old bank with some dusty old rolls lying in the vault for the last several decades.

 

I usually ask for the rolls with the good stuff, but it doesn't seem to help much.

For the last few weeks, I have been checking 20-30 rolls of nickels each week. I seem to find 2-3 1940's and 2-3 1950's nickels per set of ten rolls, if I am lucky. Sometimes I don't find anything older than 1960.

 

haha, maybe we should get jobs at banks

or offer to roll coins for them!
