Canadian Roll Hunting

Went to the bank to get pennies today but they only had 7 rolls so I went to another bank and got another 46 rolls. Shipped 20 of the rolls to one of the U.S members here so hopefully he posts his finds as well. I will say that pennies are not the most economical items to ship!

I searched through the other 33 rolls. Notable finds were 3 wheat cents including a 1927 which I didn't have. I also found a 1938 Canadian and 3 from the 40's.

Most interesting find was a U.S Magician's Penny. Looks like someone must have taken some time putting it together. It has 2 reverses so would always come up tails.

Picked up $75 in cents today from one of my charity connections. I will post any finds worth posting as I go through them. Best finds so far (sorted through aprox $13 of the first bag.

pulled 8 rolls ($4) in copper so far.

Can:
1937
3 x 1940's (one is a 44)
4 x 1950's
1963 Hang 3

US:

$185 in dimes today,

1991 british 5 pence
1963 silver
1966 silver
1968 silver

Went through ten rolls of nickels today. Highlights include 1x1940 US, 1x 1961, 1x1970.

I received my 20 rolls from O-train today:) Nothing special 1942, 1951 and a 1957. I did find a couple MS Red album upgrades. I also found a 1944 US wheat (now it is back home. lol), 1988 British new penny and a polish 2006 2 grosze.

Unfortunately, (no fault of O-train) this was a horrible trade for me. shipping was a killer, I would have cancelled the deal if I knew what it was before he shipped them. At least I had fun. lol

Maybe we can do another trade sometime where shipping isn't such a deal breaker.

thanks to a friend up North!

I'm getting back into it... $18 in loose rolls. One was a boring BoC roll, but the rest yielded some nice American...

24 nickel nickel (1 1964)
16 American nickels (including 2012-D... when will we start seeing 2013?) (mintmark breakdown... 6x P, 10x D)
1 nice and shiny 2000-P, maybe around MS-63!

I was hoping for some foreign coins... and here's a foreign tip! Go to your nearest Safeway, and check out the customer service donation box... at the same desk where people wire money abroad. Because of this international clientele, the boxes are usually loaded with foreign coins... and sometimes, they will unlock it for you and you can buy the foreign coins out (at a favourable price, of course). At today's location, they didn't have the key... and the box had some nice Filipino small change (the ridiculously worthless 5 and 10 sentimo) and a Susan B.

Sorry you didn't find anything great @cjspearsdog but I'm glad the rolls arrived.

I now have two dedicated pick up banks. Grabbed $18 in pennies from the first and $28.50 from the second.

Finds were as follows:
Canadian - 1941, 1943, 1945, 1946(2), 1947ML(2), 1948, 20 from the 1950's, 1960(6), 1961(7), 1962(14), 1963(11), 1964(23) and 19 with a lot of mint luster, 1967(16), 3 nice condition from the rest of the 60's, 28 nice condition from 1970's, 17 nice condition from 1980's, and 22 nice condition from 1990-1996. Also found 5 2006 mag logo's in nice MS grade to add to the rolls I'm making.

There was one roll that was almost all young Elizabeth with some in really nice condition and a couple wheat cents.

American: 11 wheat cents - 1929, 1939, 1946D, 1949D, 1951D(2), 1952, 1956D, 1957D(2), 1958.

Also found 4 British One Penny's and a foreign coin which looks like it is from Vietnam or Thailand or somewhere similar. It has a temple on the reverse with a 50 denomination and a guy wearing glasses on the obverse.
