Odd Finds In Rolls.

The silverfish was actually in a plastic tube roll in a Brinks box. Must've fallen into the machine while the coins were being wrapped. Interestingly enough, the box was dated as having been sealed over a month before I searched it. No idea how he survived that whole ordeal. Well, at least until I squished him...

Just yesterday, I opened a CWR from a local bank and it contained 25 1971 and 25 1972 Lincoln cents, all with mint luster, but not all uncirculated. Very strange... I'll bet some kid took Dad's "pennies" to the bank....

I also found a 1982 cent which initially appeared as steel. It is non-magnetic, so it must be a zinc planchet which was not copper plated.

The entire coin is all gray in color, and looks exactly like a circulated 1943 steel cent in color, but is a 1982 Memorial cent, in probably VF condition. It weighs 2.48 grams, so it must be all zinc. I tried taking photos with my iphone but I cannot seem to get it right. I wonder if anyone else here has encountered this, also.

I also just found 1-Euro and a 2-Euro coins in different CWR rolls from the same bank.

I guess the silverfish was better than finding a goldfish...

My weirdest find in a cent bag was an 1884 Canadian Large Cent.
