Thanks it has some dirt in the letters,someone said that I should never clean a coin so I'll just leave it with the dirt lol I would try soaking it in acetone. Acetone only removes organic material not altering the coin at all. Most do not consider this action 'cleaning'. |

A different branch of one of my banks produced ANOTHER collection dump this afternoon... the teller told me that a man brought in $10 worth of cents in on Saturday... and I could tell right away they were all copper by the weight... went to my car, and 1000 wheat cents, and a token 1959 LMC. Details and photos to come! *UPDATE* Most of the rolls were marked by date... all of the coins were in the 1950s including 690 S-mints, 28 of them 1955-Ss!  1950-S:100 1951:58 1951-D:8 1951-S:211 1952-D:50 1952-S:200 1953-D:49 1953-S:151 1954-D:43 1955-D:32 1955-S:28 1956:2 1957:50 1958:18 1959:1  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

John77, with your luck you could run a coin shop just through CRHing! 1955-S coins are hard to find. I think I have found only three or four; it was the penultimate hole-fill for my Whitman 1941-1974 folder. I'm still looking for 1943-S.

I've got so many solid date rolls of wheats right now that I may start putting some on ebay as I've done with my pre-60 and harder-to-find pre-72 nickels, and S-mint Memorial cents... Indeed the 55-S is a tough one to find, even out here on the West coast - I think I had only found about 4 in my 2 years of CRH - one more than the 54 Philly. Crazy that one person actually hoarded about 15% (7 million) of the 1955-S mintage... Other than the Steels, it and the 1954 Philly have always been my hardest finds for my 41-74 folder. I've been lucky with the 43-Ss... finding two of them in a dime roll last year was danged bizarre! Quote:with A123...you have been very lucky...but well connected (keep those tellers happy!!). Rackster, indeed I have been very lucky. It seems someone in my neighborhood is randomly dumping wheats at various branches of one of my banks... this was the same branch where I found that hoard of 58 bankwrapped rolls from 1974 last summer. As for the tellers, only a few are really on the lookout for stuff for me... I was just in the right place at the right time.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!
