Message:: [QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 779350, member: 19456"]Nickel rolls are actually the best to do...the best luck of getting older stuff. Dimes and Quarters you are pretty much only going to get 1965-current. Not to say that older stuff hasn't been found, but it's few and far between.  With the cents you can occasionally find some older stuff (I average one Wheat per every two rolls, oldest I've found was a 1937, my mom recieved a 1919 in change at the grocery store in 2008 though). I also get quite a few Candian cents too. A lot of times the cents are really nasty though.  But with the nickels, every roll I do usually turns up two or more coins from before 1964, and I've found 38 and 39 issues more then once. I actually have not been able to find any nickels from 68 and one other late 60s year, I can't recall if it is 67 or 69. (I have charts so I don't have to try and remember) but I have found almost all 64 and older nickels, and many from the 40s and 50s as well. For me at least the nickels are also the most dirty. Your hands will need to be washed VERY throughly afterwords! Just my obsevations from a year and a half of roll searching.[/QUOTE]
