Are you saying you've found this to be the case or you presume it to be the case? Assuming you found it...what prompted you to turn investigator and start checking the source for pictures?

Oooo let's go on a witch hunt for liars and falsifiers.
Or let's just enjoy the story real or false and hope for the same fortune

Who cares lol if someone wants to lie about what they found in a roll, so be it. The real hunters will still hunt and make their finds, and post their honest finds :)

Ive found many valuable coins in circulation over the years. I'm not talking thousands just a few hundred dollar coins. People are finding 1992 CAMs and thats a pretty good find. The older coins with high premiums its possible but very very very rare. Whether the person found it in circulation or not well I always like a good story whether its true or not. Cant tell a good story if youre not a good BSer. I only look through circulation for coins for it does make a better story than buying one at a store plus its alot cheaper.

I found a 1932 D in a super high grade for being in the wild and can honestly say if I were in your shoes I would have thought the same thing. But have come to realize how many peoples coins end up out in circulation. At any give time during the week people are finding proofs of any denomination. I no longer see it as bogus when someone finds something really good they are just really lucky. https://goccf.com/t/74084&whichpage=23 |

Owassokie,
I never stated that I have started checking the source for pics, never stated that I found this to be the case, no- didn't investigate anything; just posted a thought that (in my words) "occured" to me. Now when someone posts that they found a GSA encapsulated CC Morgan in a roll of nickels I think the obvious will be obvious.

I personally found a $1 Zimbabwe coin in a half dollar roll. If one of those things can be found in a roll, I would expect pretty much anything has a chance.

Basicbob, You started off by saying: It occurred to me some time back that some posted "roll finds" are actually from a coin shop or ebay, then photo'ed and posted as a "roll find" , why would someone do this? I don't know, maybe to have a few minutes of the spotlight!Then you followed that with a hypothetical. So don't act like I'm putting words in your mouth. I asked because your post wasn't very clear to me. OO |

Not exactly a roll find, but one of my grandmother's friends managed to find an 1955-S Wheat cent in circulation. And I'm fairly sure they actually found it in circulation, despite never even seeing most of those friends (and not even knowing which friend it was). Why I'm so sure then, one would say? Well, it's actually very easy... none of them collect coins  What happened was: they were asked to get some foreign change from their international trips by my grandmother who told them that I collect coins. In the resulting bunch of random world money I found an 1955-S cent. Didn't even know just how uncommon it was until checking the mintages here  More on-topic: I've heard stories of finding ancient coins in rolls, which is probably about as weird as it gets. Anything else* is believable (as long as the size realistically fits - there's obviously no large dollars in rolls of anything smaller!) *) Well, minus the coins with a limited mintage all accounted for - but I can't think of any at the moment. |

There was someone a while ago that posted that they found an ancient Roman in the reject slot of a coin counting machine. Pretty crazy but I could see that happening.
