Canadian Roll Hunting

It's SPP-Ottawa who wrote the article. I have access to the most recent two years of the journal in my library. They seem to have more but they're in storage and I need a request form for them.

Edit: Just checked and they seem to have the journal from 1956, but in storage.

Hello all this is my first post. I reside in the Vancouver area and have been crh pennies and quarters for the last three years. I am currently getting about 200$ a month or more in pennies from 7 or more banks. I only dump american 70s and newer pennies. I keep all canadian pennies except stained or heavily damaged ones. I estimate I currently have about 250 boxes of date sorted rolls of pennies collected. I crh about 300 dollars worth of quarters a month, keeping only commemortive and pre 2000. My madness was started by my father who began his collection before I was born, I'm in my fifties now and will receive his collection as my inheritance. I love searching rolls and reading what others have found.I'll start with one of my best finds being a 1931 bu dime found in a roll of pennies about a month ago. Keep on lookin.

Thanks Rackster. I have a big problem with my Canadian storage so I am sticking to Canadian collecting, but I do have about a dozen of those merc dimes, some siver halves and will get about 250 morgans from dad. He got them at face in 64 from a casino payout in Vegas. I picked up 40 rolls of pennies from two banks today and will go through them tomorrow. "My eyes hurt and my gloves are black"

Thats a nice 1920, I only have one in my variety set and am still missing a couple early 1920 yrs. Thats even rarer to find that in the US. Sounds like we are just on the diffent sides of the border doing the same thing with opposite currency. I often wonder whether I should keep all these cnd pennies now, as storage is getting hard. Our mint is doing its best to destroy them and I feel like I'm rescuing them sometimes. If my daughter wants she will receive the fruits of my labour. I have found around ten rolls of mixed wheats that I just roll and put away. Have no idea varieties either, like you, one day I will check them out.

Hey denny7000 Welcome to the forum!

I know what you mean about the early 20's they would be a treat to find.

I only need 5 more small cents to have one from every year.

Nice wolfman! I'm not familiar with which dates are harder to find amongst Canadian cents but I suspect you have 89/94 of the small cents? That's fantastic. I was down to the last 18 LWC/LMC/LSCs here before I began buying them at auction. Just not likely to find in the wild. That said I did find a 1909 VDB in a roll after I bought one a few months earlier. For me, what Canadian small cents would be considered a good find down here (I'm in New England)? Any ideas anyone?

Good for you! I hope you find them.
