Quote: just finished 3 boxes of pennies. I got some date doubling 1978 and 1979's a bunch of minor rotations, but the neat finds were a clipped 2007, an almost 180 rotation 2002 and a 2001 with accumulations. Nice finds wolfman, I've never found a small cent clip that modern. How common are the rotations? I go through cents fairly quickly and don't search for them but maybe I should.

I find rotations in 1970's and 1980's pennies and nickels on a regular basis. They are often less than 20 degrees which is claimed to be "in tolerance", but eventually I will line them up in a book in their varying degrees.

I search mostly nickels, the best I've found is a 1935 George 5 nickel, probably in VF. But I have to say finding the 1951 commemorative one was a very exciting find, even if low value!

I put on a sporting event or show I don't care about too much/doesn't require a lot of attention and then just go through the rolls one at a time. Keep everything pre 1960, foreign, errors/varieties, and coins that are in good condition for the year. I have a magnet for the 2006's without the mint logo. I tend to go fairly quickly and I'm sure I miss the odd keeper but I would lose interest if I went really slow. I like the thrill of the hunt, especially when the finds are good.

Elsewhere in the CRH threads, different people have shared their techniques. I used to be a speed searcher, and could search a full box in a couple hours. After I found some uncommon errors by chance I started looking at each and every one with 15x and have found many more varieties than before. https://goccf.com/t/257023

And here is an example of why it pays to take your time. I just found this 1979, and had I only scanned for double date I would have missed these errors on the obverse.

Picked up 24 rolls of pennies at the banks today. Thought it would be a double milestone with my 500th post and 300k small cents searched but I'm short by 100 at 299,900. Older Canadian finds all came from one roll and include: 1940, 1947, and 1950. Found 3 wheat cents including a 1943 steel cent and also a dime.
