How Many Are Into Coin Roll Hunting?

Time to bring this thread back to the front.

Blank Dime Planchet
1970S Kennedy (damaged)
1945S Jefferson nickel
Buffalo nickel on the end of a roll (I set the roll aside for my son and he hasn't opened it yet).
Also found another Mercury dime this past week. Don't remember the date, but it was a common date.

Have been going through rolls of pennies for a number of years. They always averaged around 28 - 30 percent copper(pre 1982 I don't take the time to weigh '82's). The last 10,000 cents I went through averaged 24 percent copper. These cents are acquired as bricks. I wonder if people are starting to hoard copper cents?

I've done some minor searching with minimal results over the past 6 months but I still have fun with it. What I haven't done is keep track of my findings. I know in my head approximately what I've found but was looking for some ideas on tracking. I'm assuming most of you keep track in Excel or maybe even a database. What types of things do your record? Date, Location (where coins were acquired), type, quantity, finds ... what else?

karrlot,

do you mean 1953 US Note (They skipped from 1953 to 1963 and then discontinued the US notes after that).

Awesome find, I haven't found any red seals from circulation in almost 10 years!

Wow - I found more proof yesterday than I have up until then - 35 total, 32 of which I kept between 3 boxes - all were in really nice shape, too. I found - 1 each: 98, 99, 97, 96, 80, 00, 2 each: 93, 94, 89, 72, 3 each: 91, 4 each: 86, 01, and 7(!) - 88, plus 1 each of 01, 88, and 89 that I tossed back. And, I got 9 NIFC, mostly 02's and 05's, and (unfortunately) only 3 silver, all 40%. All in all about a 1.4% keeper rate, plus I found one other 40% in my work order.

Not bad, but next week - bring on some more silver! ;D

I'm picking up $300 in nickels this afternoon. As a Christmas present to ourselves, my wife and I are shipping our daughter off to Grandma and Grandpa one weekend this December, so we can watch Carnivale (HBO series) and go through nickels. I don't think we'll be able to completely hold off until then, however.

We couldn't wait, and ended up going through one box of nickels last night. The "big" finds were a 1936 Buffalo (F-VF), a BU 1940, and a well-worn 1943-P. These were in addition to the usual assortment of 15 or so from the forties and 25 or 30 from the fifties, and one Canadian nickel.

10 rolls from the second fed box today yielded a 1929 Buffalo nickel (G), a 1991 proof, 2 Canadian nickels, and a 1944-S. 5 or so from the 50s and 3 from the early 40s.
