Got a pretty nifty score today when I picked up ten rolls of nickels from one of my local banks. Each roll was consisted of a single year!

Highlights:

1 roll 1973
1 roll 1977
1 roll 1978
2 roll 1979

as well as

1 roll 1986
1 roll 1989
1 roll 1994
1 roll 1998

The other two were 2003 and 2007.

Not bad. Must have been from somebody's hoard or something.

Thats awesome !

It sure sounds like someones former hoard - those are always the most interesting finds; and I guess you also saved a whole bunch of coins from the ARP

@DaytR: It's finds like that that keep me coming back. I find nickels to be the most interesting for coin roll hunting in Canada as the odds of finding any silver are infinitesimally small. Two silver dimes is all I have to show for other denominations. For nickels, finding pre-1982 100% Ni nickels is still quite common.

And yes, it felt good saving them from the melting pot.

Cj, it's unlikely but, possible. O-train seems to have a source.

I can still get penny rolls from the bank. The quantity varies from week to week. Send me a message with what you have in mind and we'll go from there.

I picked up 12 rolls of pennies and a box of nickels at the bank today. Nothing too notable in the pennies until I got to the last roll which had 1937, 1940 and 1949 wheat cents. Notable finds for the nickels were a 1938, a really nice 1964 and a 2 1991's. One of the 1991's was really nice and is an upgrade for my set.

The bank also had a whole box of 2013 mint wrapped nickel rolls so I took one of those as well.

I posted this find in the US Modern section but thought I would let you know, I found a 1988 LMC with the rev of 1989, that means the FG initials are from 1989 on an 88.
I'm getting about $3 to $4 US out of every box, now on box 33

I just found a new source for pennies. Went through approximately $30 worth already. Found my oldest wheat so far, a 1910. Also a handful of King Georges and newer wheat cents as well as some BUs from the 1980s, 1970s and one from 1964. Picked up a box today. Stay tuned for more.
