Canadian Roll Hunting

Hi all. I thought I'd try my hand at roll hunting so I could fill out a long neglected collection. I came home from the bank with a box of quarters and dug in. On about the fourth roll I pulled a '56! Beginners luck, I suppose because that's been about it. I managed to fill from '68 onward for the most part with notable absentees being the '70, '91, '92 caribou, and a couple from the '92, and '99 series. Box 2's only interesting find was a 2000 WP caribou that someone must have broken from a set. Box 3's only new addition was a coloured womesn's hockey. Also filled out most of my nickels from 20 rolls. Still no '70. Working on a box of dimes right now.

I found a 1998 quarter in a roll and did a happy dance.

Good find tusker! I have never found a "W" myself either. I do get the occasional 1970 and 1983,as well as 1968 silver.

Well, I made it through my roll of dimes last night and netted one of everything from '68 onward minus the '70 and any unique stuff (large dates, P's, W's, etc.). They are tough to handle and read so I think it will be my last box. A question for the rest of you... how often do you go to the bank for fresh stock?

I've tried my hand at CRH before but hadn't had any real luck; no silvers or any neat foreigns (mostly just US/UK). Haven't done any in a while now, but this week I've got a bit more free time than usual so I thought I'd pick up a few rolls of dimes. Wouldn't you know it, on my third roll, out pops a 1942! In decent shape, too.

Also found a Cuban 5 centavos (1998) and an Eastern Carribean 10 cents (2007).

I'll be stopping by the bank again tomorrow to get some more!

Searched a 50 roll box of dimes and found some decent keepers. A 1967 Centennial dime, a 50% silver 1968 dime, and a 1959 90% silver American Roosevelt dime. Also found about 2 rolls worth of American clad dimes and an Australian 2005 5 cent coin. Usually I consider a good box when I find at least on silver.

I went to a bank on my lunch and got some rolls, but they also had some Silver dollars, and 50 centers. I bought all $10 worth. among the nickel coins, were3 silver 50 cents (64,65,66) all really tarnished.

and a proof yes a proof Silver dollar, 1998 RCMP silver dollar pulled from a set, sterling silver baby. YAH what a score!!

Slur, if you want some nickel dollars send me a PM, I have 3 banks that have them right now, and I would buy them for you if you need a specific date just let me know.
