Since I made this I should post my finds. This year I have found a 1898 nickel and a 1876 seated liberty quarter. Last year I found a 1898 cent. I only have pictures for the quarter right now.

I know they are not pretty, but at 150+ years old I was very very amazed to find them.



The coin on the left was found in a CWR from a credit union, the same group of cent rolls also produced an 1893 IHC. This was found in April 2014.

The cent on the left is a bit cruddier, but makes up for it in being a BWR coin - kind of amazing to think a coin thicker and heavier than even a 3.11 gram bronze cent would make it through a coin machine somewhere, but it managed to. This coin came from a HL String roll and box purchased at a commercial bank in August 2014.

 

Nice finds! That is on my bucket list and you got two!

 

Scottishmoney. How many indian head cents have you found?

 

Exactly 32 of them. Oldest 1871 and newest 1907. Roughly half of them are less than good condition.

 

What years did you find them?. I have not found a sinlge one this year in roughly 320,000 coins searched.

 

Cents: 1943
Nickel: 1920 (partial date)
Dime: 1964 (found this before I started collecting, I just thought it was really old)
Quarter: 1954 (Coinstar reject)
Half: 1971
Pretty sure my bank sorts silver because I've yet to find silver in any rolls yet I've found 20+ proofs and 2 buffalo nickels

 

That's a long wait! I can't believe you found those at 150+ years old!

 

I started actively roll searching in 2007, found the first in May of 2010 and the most recent back in Sept of last year. One time I got four bags of cents from a commercial bank and found three of them in the search, along with a couple of hundred or so wheats. So I went three years without finding a single one, until 2010. Lately I have gradually done less and less roll searching because I just don't have lots of time.

 

Thanks. I started small in 2014 and found my first that year. Then last year I found one around spring. I then found another one on December 25 being, it being my oldest at that time dated 1900 and then found my oldest on December 31 dated 1898. Out of those 2 years I have searched about 4 more times that total of those two years combined this year. Yet I have not found one. I have found 4 total.
