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

I have been going through the three bags of cents the someone brought into the bank that had been stored in a barn for the last 30 years. There are several 1983 and 1984 near uncirculated coins in the mix. I was hoping to find either the 1983 or 1984 double die. Believe it or not, I am about half way through and found the 1984 1DO-001!!!

I just finished up a great box of pennies. 28 Canadians and these...



My first 2000 WAM


65 wheat pennies!
1913, 1919, 1920, 1927, 1929(x2), 1934, 1937, 1939, 23 from the 1940's, & 33 from the 1950's.

And finally some redemption for that first one....


A much more decent 2000WAM

Cutepenny,
See that I can't PM you, yet. I need your e-mail address.

First Search:

Went to the bank and asked for a box of cents that were customer wrapped. She said the boxes where new stuff. She turned to the teller next to her and asked her if she "still" had the customer wrapped pennies. "Yes, but only $19.50" she says. "I'll take them" says I. So I move to her window and she pulls them out.

The first thing we both see is a dime on the end of a roll. She comments about not seeing it when she took them in but does not move on it. OK, cool! Profit!

I get home and think that's a good roll to start on and while pulling it out, I notice it's real loose on the end with the dime. Yeah, buddy! 13 dimes (2 were even 70 and 74D). Found 2 more in other rolls.

Breakdown of the first 10 rolls:

5 Wheats: 1935, 44, 49D, 51D, 57D
1960's - 11 - 0 reds
1970's - 46 - 3 reds
1980's - 19 - 2 reds
Dimes - 15
Canadian Cent - 1 1989

And the winner is!! Well, the buck fifty cash, of course. The 35 was nice too and my oldest roll search find...so far.

Will report the rest as searched. Looks like a good lot.

Mores dimes !!

Hooked!

andrewjconners - Go back and read all the pages in this thread, then you'll know what to look for.

Haven't been able to look through many rolls recently, but I have recently found a 1935, 1946, and 1957-D in about $10 of rolls. However, I was also surprised (and pleased!) to find a 1943 and a 1957 Canadian penny in the same roll as the latter two wheat cents. Happened to find exactly 10 2010 cents together at the end of a mixed roll as well.

The totals from your box are pretty close to what I'd call "average" for out here in Cali. I'm in the central valley, and I usually get about a dozen wheats per box. Don't forget about the S-mint Memorials...imho, they're well worth keeping too.

As far as I know, BOA is the only bank that accepts unrolled coin. I've heard that they've started charging a "per bag" fee in some branches down in So Cal though. Some credit unions have free coin machines if you're a member.
