<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1344126, member: 12789&quot;]I wasn&#039;t around to hoard coins in the 1960&#039;s and barely started in the 1970&#039;s.&nbsp; But one thing I will tell you from my roll searching is I find a heck of a lot better stuff nowadays at least in cents and nickels than I did then.&nbsp; Call it the Coinstar phenomenon - coins that used to sit in jars, drawers etc are getting fed into machines and eventually bank rolled and then I buy them at my bank.&nbsp; Oldest cent so far, an 1891 last year.&nbsp; Oldest nickel, an 1890 last week.&nbsp; The oldest dime I have found in roll searches is a 1946 - but I don&#039;t find enough silver in dimes or quarters to bother searching them.&nbsp; Oldest halves found in the last year are a couple of 1944s.&nbsp; Once when I was a kid in the late 1970&#039;s I did buy an 1897 Morgan from a cashier at an A&amp;W after the customer in front of me spent it on ice cream.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
