I'm slowly working my way through a so-far low yielding box of cents. $15 in and just a couple of wheats and well below my average number of coppers. It's a fickle hobby, CRHing.

Another $100 in dimes today. On the very last roll 1 poor slug of a 194- D Roosevelt...once you start you just can't stop...feels good searching again...

 

Within 1 week, around $40, found two Excellent 1998 WAMs.

1955 D wheat
1983 Major Die Crack with a clash of almost the entire front showing through the reverse.

A lot more to be posted.

 

So I am in my one bank buying up the fed wrapped cents and nickels, and my friendly well trained teller asks me if I would be interested in some customer wrapped rolls that came in yesterday from an estate. She has $20 worth of them, in older wrappers. I have broke open just three rolls and the latest date in them are bright brand spanking new 1964-Ds. More than half of the three rolls are wheats, the earliest 1937. I have another 37 rolls to go through - but I am going to dinner and a hockey game so won't bust the rest of them until later tonight.

Fifty year old rolls of cents, untouched by searching paws until the nows. Me ornery Scottish blood is pumping tonacht.

 

won't be able to top the last post, but I had better than average results today with my low-stakes penny & nickel hunt...

2 Canadians
3 2009's

 

Found a 1983 with a major die crack and a clash of Lincoln on the reverse. The Y in Liberty can be seen in the second to last column. Right in front of the Y, you can make out Lincoln's back. Further up, you can see Lincoln's chin and mouth. On top of the memorial you can see his bow tie. The columns and steps are VERY distorted. Hardly and presence of Lincoln in the memorial. At a closer magnification and angle, I can read In God We Trust. It's truly a nice find I must say.

 

Have finished the search, there are literally several hundred wheat cents in the lot, about 150 or so BU 1963 and 1964 cents, the earliest wheats are two 1918 cents. One error a slightly clipped 1945. It took longer than usual to go through this lot of cents because the wheats don't stand out like sore thumbs vs early 1960s cents that have the same depth of design! No low relief spaghetti hair Lincolns at all.

There are a couple of rolls of solid 1964-D in BU that are original Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago wrappers. Also many Canadian cents, with GVI's dating to 1937 and lots more Young Head cents from 1953-64.

Now the business of counting them all out and putting them into little date piles.

 

First row is pre 1941, earliest two are 1918s. Coin at top of second row is a 1945 Lincoln with a minor clip error. Coins in second row from the left are 1941-54 S minted coins. Third row is Canada George VI coins, next row is Canada YH(1953-64)



Original Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago rolls, notice the little cardboard insert on the one roll - to keep coins from falling through when the rolls were loaded. These two rolls are both solid 1964-D, the coins in the background are mixed 1963-64 dated coins from the other mixed rolls - that are all in BU.



The whole bunch! There are several hundred 1941-58 dated wheats that are all Philly and Denver mints. The rest of the coins, the circulated from 1959-64 were all castoffs and going back into the banking system.

 

I went into a bank today and asked for some dollar coins and halves. I received four silver halves: a 1942-S Walker, a 1951 Franklin, a 1964 Kennedy, and a 1965 Kennedy. I found my first first Walker and Franklin in circulation in two-and-a-half years.

Also, the teller mentioned she had a silver dollar, and I thought she meant an Ike or an SBA. I had to contain myself when I saw what she had to offer me...

A 1923 Peace dollar! This is my first silver dollar find in circulation, and first Peace dollar from circulation! This is my best day in more than two years!

 

$40 in BWR Halves - 5 - 40% and 1 - 90% (1964)

 

$40 in nickels today yielded.

Best score in awhile. My bank has been flooded with the 2014 releases. With about an 80% new to older. Time to roll and dump. See ya next time.
