Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

And this slump just gets worse. Finished a box last night, 4 Lincolns (oldest 1952), no keeper quality BU reds, don't keep copper and nothing else.

I have noticed recently that there is a diminishing number of 60s and 70s in the boxes. Don't know if this is just coincidence or the result of copper being hoarded.

I opened one roll out of a box and it contained 3 wheat cents. One was a choice au 1953. I've decided that I only have about 70 rolls left and am only going to open 1-2 rolls a month to stretch it out. Once they are gone I don't imagine I will ever find this again. The neat part is this is the same time period I used to search as a kid and find quite a few wheats. Between these and the BU 1980 rolls I got from the bank recently I feel like I discovered a time machine....until I look in the mirror!

i found a 1969 s in some change and last week a 1968 s.

alright so I'm new here and this is my first ever post yeah me ahah
but I have been collecting now for about 6 months pennies and nickels to start now I'm doing almost every coin I can find
I have a full set of canadian pennies going back to 37 with the first small king george up to 2010 (from buffalo Ny I get a lot of canadian coinage)
I have a great deal of wheaties I have the 2 whitman folders and am only missing a few coins from the second book including s mints 55,54,51,49, 47,44,43,42,41 and D mints 41,43,and 49
I found my first steal wheatie a few days ago
I hit up all the banks I drove by went into the inner city. I didnt even have accounts at any of the banks besides like 2 I stopped at.
At one bank I got really old looking wrappers that the coins were in. Opened them first when I got home. They had like at least 20 wheat pennies a pop! I went back to that bank immediately when I finished opening them from that bank and asked for anymore they had wrapped like that (they had an address on them too)
teller gave me 15 dollars more
I got in the car and noticed some had more then just adresses some had dates
1940's 1950' 40's-50's 50s-60's
yeah the ones labeled 40's were capped with steal cents
GREAT FINDS
no Indian cents yet
but I found a really nice cameo proof 1969s it's definitely a proof too the back of the coin is like a mirror

Anyone have any luck finding an 84 double ear
and also what kind of a magnification device should I get too look for errors like double dies on the 72 pennies and other minting mistakes

I'm going to do the year and mm thing too slash112. Right now I'm focused on years/mm for pre 1970. I'm leaving all of the 71-81's in the copper bin. I have separate tubes for AU/BU coins.

Speaking of AU/BU coins, I just finished a decent box. Pic is of a few of the nice BU's including one of 5 similar 1970-S's. (top left).





27 Wheats - oldest was 1913 in VG, also a 1919S and a 1929S.

3 Canadians - oldest was 1959.

Coppers were right at 11 p/roll.

1 2010 Shield and 1 2009 LP4.

No WAMS/CAMS.

Me ... the second dump box in a row not a pre 82 cent in TWO boxes in a row now .

GREAT deal! I think I would have cleaned him out at that price if they are all BU. I believe these to be the rarest 1982 cent. In all my searching, I think I've maybe found 10-15 in circulated condition.

Here is my best roll find..
