Message:: [QUOTE="andrgo, post: 152416, member: 6181"]So I got a ton of rolls from my bank today and I spent 4.5 hours sorting them by year and examining a few of them. I seriously have a horrible headache now, I think it's from all of the closeup viewing. Anyhoo my bank didn't have halves, so I guess I'll call up some banks next week to see if others do. Here's what I got:- 20 rolls of pennies.- 5 rolls of nickels.- 2 rolls of dimes.- 1 roll of quarters. Here are the results...PENNIES: For the pennies I got at least two pennies for every single year from 1960 to 2000. Most in normal shape for their age (not many scratches, damage.) I also got 7 wheats in there (oldest 1946), including a stunning  1958D that had more luster than half the 2003 pennies I had!<a href="http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/307/dsc08159ae8.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/307/dsc08159ae8.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/307/dsc08159ae8.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> DIMES: For the dimes I don't think I did as well for older items. I got nice dimes most from 1967-2005. The oldest dime was a 1965.<a href="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8461/dimes1af9.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8461/dimes1af9.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8461/dimes1af9.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> NICKELS: I got some okay nickels, loads of 1964's and 1974's. Oldest as a 1940 (rats, two years away from a Buffalo I think!) I had quite a few nickels ranging from 1963-2006.<a href="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9017/nickels1iu6.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9017/nickels1iu6.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9017/nickels1iu6.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> QUARTERS: got some good quarters, ranged from 1965-2006, pretty basic quarters.<a href="http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5008/dsc08163ce4.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5008/dsc08163ce4.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5008/dsc08163ce4.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> All in all I was kind of disappointed I didn't get any mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, you know - stuff like that. But I suppose the chances of me getting a roll with stuff like that in it is a million to one. Hmmmph. So I guess what I want to know now are two things: <ul> <li>I gave the year ranges for all of the coins I got out of the rolls. Are any of the dates for the pennies/dimes/nickels/quarters key dates that I should look into?</li> </ul> <ul> <li>What comes next? Do I keep all of the coins and bag them by year, do I take certain ones (like key dates coins.. which I'm not familiar with which dates for any of the types of coins)? I know it's my decision but I'm a newbie coin collector and I don't know what to do with the coins now.</li> </ul>I would seriously appreciate ANY help for keydate/what-to-do-next type advice![/QUOTE]
