Coin Roll Finds - Post Yours Here!

Well I had an interesting 'find' : I asked the bank teller for $25 of pennies (forgetting that was a box) and was interested when it came in one. However, by the time I'd gotten to looking at the box, and noticed it was taped up, I didn't have time to go back. I now have $25 worth of shrink-wrapped 2009 mint cents.

I'll be going back to the bank tonight, hopefully getting some OLD coins this time ;)

I go to the bank almost every Saturday and buy $3 in pennies - USA. I am looking for scarce varieties including 1998, 1999 and 2000 Wide AM. Also look for 1995D double die on obv, 1984 dbl ear (found 1 in MS63) and 1983 dbl "cent" on rev. I find about 1 Wheat cent in every 200 pennies that I go through. Not very expensive. And of course, the rewards of finding one of these is Priceless!

Well, I've been away a while... but I did another $20 and I think it was a good time to do so:

Found this time:

Canada:

1940s - 2
1950s - 6
1960s - 30

USA:

1920s - 1 (1925S in Good+/Fine condition)
1940s - 4 (including a steel 1943S)
1950s - 1
1960s - 8

No other countries found (but I did get a Canadian dime )
Also found a clipped 1980 Canadian cent, and 1975 American cent that is covered in a fools-gold colour of something, and a few 1960s-1980s XF+ Canadian cents :)

Total found:

1 Cent (26500 searched so far):

Canada:
Years - count - 1 every how many coins
1920s - 0 - /
1930s - 2 - 13250
1940s - 26 - 1019
1950s - 97 - 273
1960s - 607 - 44

USA:
1920s - 3 - 8833
1930s - 1 - 26500
1940s - 17 - 1559
1950s - 25 - 1060
1960s - 105 - 252

Going through a roll of 2007 nickels found this one with what appears to be a bag mark but it is Orange in color. No matter what light or angle the coin is held the mark remains Orange.

I got a batch of 20 rolls of dimes and got a nice surprise.
Three of the rolls dated back to 1974. Mostly nickel dimes from 1968 to 1974 (were almost uncirculated) were present in the 3 rolls.
I also found 3 silver dimes, 1 x 1970 dime and only one American dime in the 3 rolls.
Even back in 1974, it took 50 dimes before you found one silver dime.
35 years later I have to go through 1000 dimes to find 1 silver dime and 5000 to 10000 dimes before I find a 1970 dime.

Going through a roll of pennies and found these 2008 with 3 distant different colors, 1 - normal, 1 - toned and 1 - gold color....

Thanks d23! Now I know what to look for. I had a magnifying glass on the things thinking it was tiny and hidden, but it looks like it's pretty bold under the portrait. Now if only I can find some in U.S. cent rolls...

Uh, no, we will not do this!

We shall keep to the other more current threads.

We still love ya, though.
