1. CWR halves roll with 20 franklins
2. CWR halves roll with 20 40%s
3. $500 bag of Ikes with a Morgan, Peace, and 40% Ike dollar
4. Box of cents with a 1909 VDB cent, 6 Indian heads, and over 120 wheats.
5. 28 rolls CWR Cents all were wheats.
6. Box of nickels with 6 buffalos, and 3 wars.
7. BWR nickel roll with a 1868 shield nickel.
8. $1,000 Bag of Dimes with 2 mercs, 9 rosies, and 141 extra dimes
8. A nice teller at my dump bank that has been saving wheats for me, and has given me over 100 of them now

There's so many good hauls I've had and I'm probably missing a lot of them

 

My best single day score:



I had a teller call to let me know she had saved some old half dollars for me. It turned out she had a full roll of '64s and four extra 40%ers! The dime box I picked up that day also gave me a pair of roosies.

 

My best find so far was a 1929 Wheat.

 

How long have you been searching?

 

Just started on Friday. Decided to pick up $5 of penny rolls on the way home from work. There were 3 wheats total; 1929, 1940, and 1951.

 

Ahh, well happy hunting, started about 2 months ago, penny's and nickels are the best but quarters are good b/c I have a friend who collects territories and atb quarters, so she buys them at face

 

I have been searching for her

 

What is a teller tray? People seem to have struck it rich with those.

 

Where tellers have spare change, say you cash a check for 400.56, she gives you 4 100 dollar bills from her tray, 2 quarters, a nickel and a penny

 

Ok thank you.

 

1864 Cent

I guess this is "about good", probably never had an L and I love it! Found in a cent box a couple years ago.

 

Nice find! I still have yet to find an IHP but that's a beauty.

 

$10.00 in pennies
4 wheat Oldest 1920
62 pre 70's
139 pre 82
The 1920 is in my opinion about MS 63 red/brown I saw the back and thought it was probably a 50's era. When I flipped it and saw the date made my day. Good luck hunting! Hoping to get some pictures to add.

I'm pretty sure that I've replied to this before mentioning a F/XF 1909-VDB cent, but I've recently found a 1913-P buffalo nickel. Granted, it's a more recent coin and has a higher mintage, but, for serious, even if a person can be so oblivious as to see a wheat cent and toss it back into circulation, how can a person not stop and give pause to a buffalo nickel? I've found well more than 1000 wheats, but (as far as I can recall) only 4 or 5 buffaloes, and the 1913 being the only one older than 1936.

I've found 1950-D, 1942-D and 1949-S Jefferson's but they seem to easy to pass up, despite their significantly lower mintage than the 1913-P.

 

My best find for sure:

 

Where?

 

This comes up everu now and then, you can search earlier threads for mine.

 

Mine is this uncirculated 1950-D Jefferson nickel
