How Many Are Into Coin Roll Hunting?

I went through a dozen nickel rolls obtained from a different branch and found some pleasant suprises:

1 1939
2 1940
1 1941
1 1945S (silver!)

Loads of 1959 and 1964

i pretty much gave up on half boxes..mine have just gone completely dry :( I'll occasionally ask for customer wrapped ones...but now I'm moving to pennies and a merc dime set.

I went through $100 in half dollars today. All ten rolls had been marked on the outside wrapper with a black X made by a sharpie marker. Needless to say I didn't hold out much hope for these. My hunch was right, nothing of interest was found. The reason I searched them all anyway is I found my 1976S in a similarly marked roll from a previous search. I guess not all of us are looking for the same things.

I checked with a friend of mine at my bank today. She had been keeping an eye out for any unusual coins but didn't have anything of interest. I inquired about ordering a box of Ikes and she said she'd look into it for me. This will be very interesting if it comes through. I'll keep you all abreast on how it turns out.

Has anyone else successfully ordered and received a box of Eisenhowers before?

Just finished box #3 of pennies and found 12 wheaties, 7 canadian pennies including one from 1928.

Wheaties: 1934, 1937, 1940, 1945 x2, 146, 1952-D, 1953-D x3, 1958-D, and one that had crud on it so it's soaking in olive oil now.

Totals so far:
Searched: 7500 coins (150 rolls)
Wheaties: 24
Canadian: 33
Copper 1959-1982: 2300

Ok did one more box of pennies:

Wheaties: 1919, 1930, 1944, 1944-D, 1946-D, 1951-D, 1955, 1995-D x3, 1956-D x2, 1956, 1957-D (14 total)
Canadian: 8
Copper 1959-1982: 816

New totals...
Searched: 4 boxes (200 rolls, 10000 pennies)
Wheaties: 38
Canadian pennies: 41
Copper pennies 1959-1982: 3116

Well searched $600 worth and only pulled out 1 64 and 1 67. Also put up 3 2001Ds and 2 2001Ps. Everything else was crap. Still have another box of $500 to search. See how it goes.

Mycrob,

In houston cwi 69 you can find silver those. I bought 12 boxes down here. 5 of them were fedboxs with no cwi or dates on them. They all had silver coins in them. The other 7 boxs per old boxs from Loomis trucking company . They were not sealed and lots of them were hand wraped. In my boxes I did find tons 2000 and 1996 philly or tons shiny brand new old coins in them. One non fedbox I found an brand new 2007 proof coin. They wraped in 2007 I guess and no silver in them.

My advice to you is dont give up on those fedboxs . I would reordor more and maybe try an another bank to try. I am planing to special ordor 6 more boxes from secord bank I never bought from to see what I get.

One problem I see you bought two boxes at same time. If did that with those 7 junk loomis boxes each time I would go nuts. I forced loomis to reordor them from fed since they ran out of coins. Those first 7 boxes were nothing for me intill I opened up those non dated cwi boxes from feds they all had silver in them.

You may ask your bank on what trucking company they use to buy there money. The trick is where you can send junk back to another trucking company where you dont get more junk boxes from same trucking company.

So dont give up intill you do maybe 10 or more boxes on those since someday soon you will find those silver coins like I did after those 7 nothing boxes in an roll.
