Not sure of the exact years because I mixed them in with the other ones I've found. Any of the British pennies I find coin roll hunting seem to be from 1971 to present. So far I've found: 1971, 1974, 1975, 1977, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2011.

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. Thailand, 50 satang. There is the recent aluminum-bronze type, and the very recent CPS type (you might have found an older type, though... just browse the Thailand listings). These pages show you the symbols associated with each date: Brass colour: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1644.htmlCopper colour: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7974.htmlAs far as I know, Rama IX of Thailand is the only world monarch who's proud to wear glasses. He has also released his own jazz singles and has built and raced his own sailboats. |

^^^ That's it. ^^^ The one I found today is copper plated steel. I think I also have aluminum-bronze examples from CRH'ing. People in this area seem to put a fair amount of foreign coins into rolls and those fill to the line bags are even better.
I had a few rolls today that were customer wrapped plain paper rolls. They had some high mint state coins from 1991-1996 and the paper had turned kind of yellow. Nothing newer than 96 so I think they may have been rolled and sitting for a while. I bet there are some real gems out there just waiting to be discovered...and hopefully thought of as worthless and brought back to the bank for face value :).

I was going to start tracking found foreign coins but I haven't been. I just put them in a bag and then eventually sort them by country. At this point I can't conclusively differentiate between what I've found and what my father or grandfather set aside.

Finally had a chance to do some hunting, 1 box of quarters, dimes and nickels. Skunked on quarters, three silver dimes, but got some good nickels. 1953, 1951 commemorative, 1945, 1990 bare belly and an extra waterline '64. The 90 and 64 are in poor shape but, I'll taake it.

Yesterday I got a bag of pennies from a customer about to drop them into the counting machine. The horror! Grad I saved it as I found plenty of older pennies as well as a variety of international coins and my oldest cent to date:
1921, sadly I'd say it was in about good condition, which strangely in our circles means about terrible.

Any pictures of these foreign finds? To me, they're the best part of coin-roll hunting (because silver is too rare to be relied on).

Off the top of my head I found four UK pennies, two 2-Eurocents, and one 5-Eurocent.

Nice find mcshilling. I'm not sure how many boxes I've went through so far, some of them have been bags and/or as many rolls as they have. I've found 3 of the 2006 magnetic no logo's so far.
The wheat cents I traded rolls of Canadian cents for arrived this week. Not really roll hunting but I'm pretty happy about them. Went from 52 different varieties to 98. Not sure if I'll ever get all 140 varieties but I'm well on my way to having a decent collection now.

I counted them off of this site: http://lincolncents.net/wheat-cent-mintage/Also wheatchaser140 uses 140 as his name and in his signature. Although, I was looking on Numismedia and they have a rare 1922 variety ( no mint mark) that is not listed on the above site. Then there is also a 1943 bronze, 1943s bronze, 1944 steel and 1944 D/S. Personally I would consider the D/S to be more of an error than a variety and including the 1943 and 1944 cents would be like including the 1936 dot Canadian cent. The 1922 no mintmark is about on par with the 1909 s vdb in terms of price. Personally I will include the 1922 and leave out the 1943 and 1944 rarities so that changes the number I will use to 141. |
