Roll finds today

Went to the bank and got more rolls of pennies. No wheats, but in ten rolls I found:
A 73 S (in my first roll)
A nice BU 1984 with a weird finish. Probably normal.
A BU 1987
A BU 1978
A BU 1979
And a BU 81 with a nice die crack in the memorial. I find a few of these errors. They are pretty neat.

Also she said a guy came in and turned in two rolls of halves and a roll of sac's. Nothing in the halves but in the sac's I found a nice 2001 P. Not any scratches on it either. Looks like it came right from the mint. I grade it 65 borderline 66. The reverse has a few dings, that is why I keep it from getting a 66 in my mind. But it is very nice. Wasn't a bad day. I only need to find 3 more wheats in order to have a full roll of of whaets that I have pulled form circ. So hopefully next time I'll have that accomplished. Were the 2001 sacs realeased into circ.? Just wanted to know. Thanks for reading.

I think the 2001's were realeased.

 

nice finds! i also like to find the 1968-1974S mintmarks. i keep them all. good job on the bu cents too!

 

I found a 1960 Nickel looking though two rolls today.

 

No, 2001 SAC's were not released in to circulation. Someone must have broken it out of a mint set. 2000P's were the only SAC's released for circulation. All other years and mints go in to a vault somewhere, except the few that are in mint sets and sold to numismatic dealers.

Did you know that the law states that at least 1/3 of all dollar coins produced in a given year must be SAC's! Since they are making 300,000,000 Washington dollars, that's at least 100,000,000 SAC's (plus 1/3 of the next three Pres. dollars) that will be minted and never used. Your tax dollars at work!

 

good find! you need to get more than 1 roll though.

 

Yeah, I've heard and read aboit it. I don't understand it. But that's the government for you. Thanks for the tidbit. I'm going to post pics of it, It looks like a really nice sac. In my mind at least grade 65, might have a shot at a 66. Slight chance on 67, but I don't think it would go that high. Nice find Royall. Thanks Coinlover, they are neat to find. Especially in PA. Probably have better chances in California though to find more S cents. Thanks all for replying.
