Roll-searchers, post your results!

Gary,

You can sell copper cents on eBay right now, buddy. I buy them locally for 1.5x face and I search two boxes a week because I like to look for errors and varieties like you do. I also weigh all my 83's! Great minds think alike!

Merc...let's see that copper hoard.

4 slv dimes out of $500 searched, all Roosies.

 

Slim pickings.

 

While going through my second bag of pennys I found a 1909 vdb! It looks to be in at least EF-40 condition =)

 

Finished a box of dimes yesterday and got 3 Roosies!

Besides silver, what dimes do you guys look for and keep?

 

1982 no P

 

Half Swiss Francs, 82 no P, 96W.

 

I pulled an 1882 Swiss 5 rappen out of a roll before. AU condition, really cool find.

Congrats on the VDB Swiker. I found 3 in like, 6 weeks, the nothing since.

 

I just recently got ahold of 3 unsearched indian head penny rolls. I found a few things other than the common wheatie. The first is a 1870 3 cent piece. I don't know anything about these. I also found these 3 items:

1. a 1/4 gold indian head octagonal token dated 1881

2. an 1872 round gold indian head token ( Don't know the denomination since I am not familiar with fractionals)

3. 1/10 oz St. Gaudins double eagle coin.

Unfortunately, my scale just broke so I can't weigh these out, secondly I don't kow the specific weights for the true authentic coins, third, I don't trust my local coin dealers since on 2 separate occasions I witnessed very unethical coin dealings.. IMO. I've never photgraphed coins this small before, other wise I'd post them. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Where did you get those from, ebay?

I can guarantee you that they were searched and put together, if so.

 

there are lots of "unsearched" wink wink rolls of wheat/IH cents on the bay. Are you saying you found a GOLD coin in a roll of cents?

 

Those coins could be Californ ia Territorial gold pieces and quite valuable. I have a small collecyion of these. Can you post a picture of what you found ???

 

No, I was at a local auction and bought a box of smalls. These were among them.

 

I did what I could to get a decent photo. I hope this helps.

 

Look plated to me... how heavy are they?

 

well my scale just broke recently, I had a digital one. So, I'll have to pick up a new one, but I don't even know the proper weight of each. I'll have to find that out also. They seem heavy, but I want to get them on a scale.

I haven't started searching\collecting nickels yet....what is the significance of the non-war nickels? Are you just listing these because they are filling holes in your collection? Thanks.
