Give it some time, and I guarantee you will find some '39 dated coins... and the occasional Buffalo.

An update on the Morgan dollar I found. I managed to take the mass of coin and it comes in at 18.16 grams. This is about 8.6 grams less than what it should be. So I'm leaning towards the idea that it's fake. Unless, as someone said earlier, it was exposed to acid at some point over the last 118 years and that wore away at the coin, leading to its current state.

I'll probably take it to a coin shop for an expert opinion, since I've done all I can do.

 

I ended up depositing $70 worth of halves at a second bank. The tellers at the second bank were thrilled to see them and three of them bought them as soon as I deposited them. They said they rarely see them and planned to keep them for themselves...funny how it works out.

 

Well I'm on vacation in a rural area in Michigan. I'm about to go try and order half dollars at the local bank. Hopefully it works out!

 

What region of Michigan? I was near traverse city a couple weeks ago. Didn't get any coin though.

 

Just did 2 rolls of halves last night and 6 rolls of pennies (14more to go). Found a '68 Kennedy, tons of Bicentennial halves and about several p,d halves of certain dates. Think there is another roll searcher in my area because several were marked on the back with a black sharpie. Also found several midly off center Kennedy's.
For pennies found 4 wheats
1956
1956 d
1946
1913 d
Cant wait to go through the rest.

 

The 13-D cent is a nice find. What condition is it in?

 

It is in meh condition, Lincoln is a bit flat, can't remember about the wheat ears will look when I get home.

 

Well, even in AG-3, the 13-D is still about a $2 coin, assuming no damage.

 

It is definitely not AG3 I am estimating f12 -vf20

 

NICE! A $5-10 coin then! Congrats!

 

I know, I was surprised when I pulled it out. I still have 16 more rolls to go through too. Cant wait to find out what goodies lie in wait.

 

Coin lover did you get that coin metal detecting?

 

No, I got it in a roll of pennies from the bank. Got about 20 rolls total for a 4-H project I am doing and stumbled across it.

 

Coin lover how did you get the coin in your picture. I think it is pretty neat.

 

I searched 50 dollars in dimes and nothing. 10 dollars of pennies and had 3 wheats oldest being 1934. I have 20 dollars of nickels left to go.

 

I got a box of nickels yesterday (1/2 box each from 2 banks)... got an AU 40-S, a 41-S Large S, 2 WarNicks, a 51-S, an Unc. 09-P, and a misaligned obverse die error...

 

Here are the AU 40-S and 41-S large S from my above post...

 

Nice finds!

 

I was able to find a bank that would order for me. I ordered 4 boxes of halves and 6 boxes of pennies.
