<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Old Texas Reb, post: 2917826, member: 91220&quot;]This is a way back when story.&nbsp; When I was a young man in my early 20&#039;s going to college during 1962 and 1963, I used to hunt regularly through both rolls and vending machine coins for goodies.&nbsp; Remember, this was at the height of the roll and bag boom in US coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to pull several rolls of 1955D dimes and many P and S mints of the same year out of each dime bag I went through.&nbsp; Also found lots of nice pre 1940 Mercs in high grade, several 1921&#039;s and one 1916D.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t bother much with quarter and half dollar bags, but nickel bags bought from vending machine companies were very profitable.&nbsp; I put together LOTS of complete roll sets of war nickels, probably a full roll of 1950D&#039;s and many nicer grade Buffalos.&nbsp; I flipped what I found to a local dealer in southwest Houston or sold them on a bid board in the Heights area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Made enough money doing this that I was able to help my Mom out quite a bit on her apartment rent and other expenses!</p><p><br /></p><p>Between college and doing this I didn&#039;t have much time to go out and party with my friends.&nbsp; That was probably a good thing as they were pretty wild.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
